Judge Dredd wants to be both a legitimate violent action flick and a parody of one, but director Danny Cannon fails to find the necessary balance to make it work.

Although it is full of noise and fake firepower, Dredd simply lies there on the screen until the final scenes. May 20, 2003 | Rating: 1.5/5

Usually engaging and sympathetic, Stallone is blank and tongue-tied here, an immovable slab in the midst of 95 minutes of gunfire, explosions and Gothic excess. Jun 18, 2002 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

What was once a satire on fascism looks like an apologia for it. That may be the inevitable price of turning a medium which is cheap and subversive into one that is expensively conformist. Dec 13, 2017 | Full Review…

If it can't stay true to the title character, it at least delivers a little modest popcorn fun to those willing to lower their sights. Sep 21, 2012 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

A diffuse, uninvolving star vehicle aimed at saving Stallone's box-office viability manages to display most of his weaknesses. Jul 24, 2009 | Rating: C | Full Review…

The worst I can say about this abrasive and loud sci-fi is that Rob Schneider is not the worst thing in it (and he tries to be ... as usual). Only for teenage boys.

Terribly acted. The script was mindlessly drafted. There's little of note in this film other than how "m'eh" it was.
silly and not quite consistent with the source material, but a ton of fun none the less. ive seen this film many times and i always enjoy it.
The filmmakers did a lot of over-thinking while producing "Judge Dredd," because the view of the film is interesting, but the writing, the plot, the characters, and the one-liners are so bland that it just becomes tiresome and boring, even though it is only 96 minutes. Stallone usually chooses great films to star in, which make him look better than he actually is, but this film is a new low for his career. Honestly, if you are looking for anything remotely enjoyable, you will not find it here, unless you are drunk. "Judge Dredd" is one of the worst attempts at an Action/Sci-Fi that I have seen in a long time, it's awful!
