The movie, by the end, practically seems intent on destroying itself.

A thunderous, unoriginal futuristic hardware show for teenage boys.
March 26, 2009 -
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.
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.

...With a great aerial chase scene, lots of cool guns and gadgets, and a 30's serial mood, this Judge Dredd is above the law when it comes to mindless fun....

Accomplishes numerous visual feats, from the gruesome makeup effects for the denizens of the Cursed Earth to the flying car chases across the neon cityscapes.

Audience Reviews for Judge Dredd

Apr 13, 2016Why did they include Schneider as a comic relief is still beyond me. Judge Dredd is a horrendous adaptation to the infamous comic strip series, starring Sylvester Stallone as the titular character who is being framed for a crime he didn't commit. The futuristic element was not very well expressed in the film, the action sequences were quite bland. May be enjoyed by fans interested in the comic book genre but others might find it somewhat sub par.Sylvester K Super Reviewer

Feb 14, 2014The story is the weak link in what is otherwise a marvellously fun chain. Unfortunately, when it comes to the film industry, the plot-link is kind of the most important one, so I can't really call Judge Dredd a success. And although the general premise is strong, this is not to the credit of the movie, seeing as it sources its material from the comic books of the same name, and 2000 AD. Sylvester Stallone (the titular Dredd) and Rob Schneider (his offsider) are perhaps poor casting options. But they aren't so terrible as to make Judge Dredd unwatchable, especially seeing as there are a quite a few good choices to balance this out. Despite being made in '95, it shares that intrinsically 1980's vision of a dystopian future, where all the buildings are black, all the signs are neon, and all the residents are androgynous punks and goths. Which to be honest I'm a huge sucker for, so this earns Judge Dredd some points (though again, not for originality). It's perhaps not the sort of description you'd expect of a violence-heavy, guilty-pleasure dodgy sci-fi, but Judge Dredd is just so cute! The ABC Warrior I have a particular soft spot for, but even overall, the piece is enjoyable to not take seriously (though taking it seriously is probably impossible). Yes it's true that Judge Dredd is enjoyable in a laughing at it kind of way rather than a laughing with it one, but that's still enjoyable in my books. 61% -GimlyGimly M Super Reviewer

May 24, 2013Terribly acted. The script was mindlessly drafted. There's little of note in this film other than how "m'eh" it was.Christian C Super Reviewer

Feb 21, 2013Blade Runner audiences with ADD would like this derivative and weak scripted sci-fi action flick that tries to too hard to be cool and smart. Even John Wagner says that the Dredd in his fine comic book creation isn't the one you'll see here, especially when Sly takes over. Stick to the 2012 Dredd for real ultraviolent fun.Max G Super Reviewer
