Critics Consensus: 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.

The movie, by the end, practically seems intent on destroying itself.
A thunderous, unoriginal futuristic hardware show for teenage boys.
Directed without inspiration by Danny Cannon from a stupid script by Michael De Luca, William Wisher, and Steven de Souza.
This slam-bang Stallone vehicle never quite delivers what its confident, fizzing visuals seem to promise.
Although it is full of noise and fake firepower, Dredd simply lies there on the screen until the final scenes.
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.
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.
'90's Stallone action movie guilty of nonstop violence.
It stands no chance of being mistaken for a good movie.
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.
Feels more like the Adventures of Sly Stallone: Future Warrior...
A diffuse, uninvolving star vehicle aimed at saving Stallone's box-office viability manages to display most of his weaknesses.
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.
Super Reviewer
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!
