Amazon.com: Judge Dredd is one of those movies that doesn't have a brain of its own, so it can only rip off a lot of ingredients from other, better movies. It's a mishmash of Blade Runner, Total Recall, and The Road Warrior, with a dash of Star Wars tossed in for good measure. As if that weren't enough, it's got Sylvester Stallone, who seems to be the only one in the movie who's in on the game and knows it's all a sci-fi scam. Like The Fifth Element a few years later, Judge Dredd depicts a futuristic megalopolis packed with crowded vertical overgrowth and rampant commerce, where anarchy reigns supreme. Violent "block wars" are fought by lawless citizens with machine guns, and Judge Dredd (Stallone) is one of the city's heavily armed policemen, given free rein to judge and execute the perpetrators of violence. But Dredd himself is subjected to judgment and swift justice when his own gun is identified in the murder of a prominent TV reporter, forcing him to do whatever he can to clear his name. Diane Lane plays his partner in crime-fighting and romance, and Rob Schneider provides juvenile comic relief as Dredd's streetwise sidekick. Impressive special effects are on vivid display, and the movie's fun for what it's worth. Lower your expectations and you just might enjoy it. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - Seriously... Worst. Movie. Ever.
Everything about this movie was terrible. I am one who was familiar with the Dredd comics and could therefore appreciate the setting/costume/design/etc.
That all said... there is no justification for this film. Everything was terrible. Stallone - terrible. Schneider - terrible. Special effects - terrible. Plot twists - terrible (that moronic band of cannibals? Jesus.). That stupid robot - terrible.
In all honesty, this could be the worst movie I have ever seen. ... Read More
Rating: - Not a bad film, quite entertaining!
I remember seeing this in 1995, & liked it, but like one reviewer pointed out, the press & critics ripped it apart, I had not seen it again since & caught it a while back again & really got into it again & had a hard time trying to figure out how this one could do so poorly in 1995 & "The Fifth Element" with Bruce Willis two years later in 1997 could do so well, both films are almost identical in terms of visuals & a futuristic society, only the storylines differ, my only ...

Judge Dredd stars Sylvester Stallone and Armand Assante in a futuristic movie about a lawman who presides over an overpopulated and violent metropolis .The Judges are the Judges Jury and executioners all-in-one. "Eat recycled food. It is good for you" is a common theme. It is good for the environment"
Recommended for fans of Sylvester Stallone and Armand Assante.

Rating: - Only Stallone can say - I am the LAW!
Science fiction is such a wonderful medium in that it affords the creative community to test our concepts that would be impossible to explore in real life.
Judge Dredd is precisely that. A future post-apocalypic Earth (The Cursed Earth) where humanity lives in megacities and where society in order to keep order has established a Police Force with a Judges Power (Police, Judge, Jury, Executioner rolled up into one person - The Judge). These Judges have the power to chase criminals and dispense ... Read More
Rating: - The Verdict's In
Judge Dredd was one of those big budget action films that was aiming high, but ended up bombing and getting ridiculed, and forgotten quite fast. Movies like The Shadow and The Phantom also fell victim to this. I sometimes have a soft spot for these overblown superhero movies that fail miserably. While Judge Dredd isn't great(I could strangle Rob Schneider), it's kinda fun in that cheesy way. You can say what you want about Stallone, but he played the part cold and lifeless coz I'm assuming that's how the ... Read More
