Judge Dredd (DVD) Reviews

This has got to be one of the worst comic-to-movie tie in's ever. A mountain of material to use for the storyline, a rich character history and what do they do . . . ? They create a load of garbage! They break the first rule of Dredd - he removes his helmet a short way into the film. Accepted that Stallone was a big actor (at the time) and he ...  Read the complete review

Now I remember going to see this at the cinema in High Wycombe when it was released, it was a rare day off work spent feeding my inner sci-fi nerd. I am a fan of 2000AD and Judge Dredd and used to read the comic and graphic novels so I did already have a good working knowledge of Dredd and his back story. I had already heard that the ...  Read the complete review

In these Mega Cities law and order is handled by the Judges who, upon catching a criminal, act as Judge, jury and executioner (if required). ...  Read the complete review

Judge Dredd is one of the most critically acclaimed and cult comics. In 1995, Sylvester Stallone was chosen to play the hard-nosed 'Judge', futuristic cops with judiciary powers in a dystopian future with heightened technology and no nonsense policing. With an impressive supporting cast and a solid level of special effects and a forward thinking ...  Read the complete review

So how dreadful is Judge Dreadful? Well it's not that dreadful but it's pretty dreadful, the first problem pretty obvious - Sylvester Stallone! Casting the big dumbbell as Dredd could have worked out though. Dredd is man of few words after all and as Stallone is known for his dim bulb slowness then this should have worked out. But Sly is also a ...  Read the complete review

The 1995 release Judge Dredd often cops a hiding from arm-chair critics for being a failed cousin of Blade Runner. Well, I've got the cleats on, and I'm going in to bat on behalf of Judge Dredd. I'm not going to swing at the idea that this film scales anywhere near the heights of Blade Runner, which is a dazzling benchmark in cinematic ...  Read the complete review

Ok wampy...be nice, there must be something nice to say about this movie... Well...it looks nice. The futuristic city of Megacity is all very Blade Runner meets Total Recall in their design. Dark streets with bright neon lights everywhere and flying vehicles...you know the kind of thing - the typical view of the future. The problem is ...  Read the complete review

A lot of people have said it is a crap film and I shouldn't go and see it, but I went anyway expecting to be regretting it but I actually find it quite good even though it is far fetched. Judge Dredd is about the bleak future of America where crime and terrorists have peaked. The cops are the law bringers of the future and they can ...  Read the complete review

I love comic art and as such have seen a lot of the Judge Dredd strip over the years. I have also seen this movie several times. Now Judge Dredd fan + movie normally = hate movie but I actually quite like it. It isn't a great film, it missed a lot of opportunities and some of the characters weren't handly that well. What with ...  Read the complete review

Judge Dredd is one of the UK's most well known comic books. It's dark origins, knack for gritty characters and bleak outlook on the future is a big draw for fans. Back in 1995, a movie was made based on the comic book starring Sly Stallone. The movie was directed by a young man named Danny Cannon whose only previous feature was a ...  Read the complete review

Judge Dredd is based on the 2000AD comics of the same name. Stallone plays Dredd who is a cop come judge (i.e. he can arrest and then kill you in seconds...). Unfortunately he is convicted of a murder and.....can you guess, he has to clear his name... The film has great effects and looks really cool, but it's soon apparent that ...  Read the complete review

This film stars Sylvester Stallone in his typical role as an action hero and he plays the comic book hero, Judge Dredd. The film focuses around Dredd being set up for a crime he didn't commit and his attempts to prove his innocence. This entails alot of violence and death and Stallone does it in style as you would expect. There is the ...  Read the complete review

Really strong fans of the 2000AD stalwart should probably approach this blockbuster with some caution. Though director Danny Cannon was a fan from way back, this is far more a vehicle for unsmiling tough guy Sylvester Stallone, and as such, works in a thickheaded kind of way. Some of the elements are present - the comic book designs for ...  Read the complete review

There is something very disappointing about seeing someone you admire selling out for hard cash. No not Stallone - I'm talking about old Joe Dredd. After years of enjoying the satirical tales in 2000AD it was heartbreaking to see what a mess of a movie this turned out to be. Judge Dredd the movie is based on the great comic strip in ...  Read the complete review

Especially that bit where they have the, what are they? Angel family? Those cannibals. That's cool. The film was quite lame in places, it had a really, really bad ending, and altough 'not true to the comics' you have to ask which inspired which. I though the idea of the bad guy being his twin was a bit predictable, ...  Read the complete review
