The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Movie Review: "Judge Dredd" (1995)One of the early real solid graphic novel adaptation with a fulminate cast throughout, starting with actor Sylvester Stallone, embracing his trademarks to comic extensions, creating the title-given character bold and righteous with occasional flight of humour, stroke by his supporting characters Hershey and Fergie, portrayed by Diane Lane and stand-up comedian Rob Schneider respectively, already given recent Marvel comic adaptations the formula of international box office successes without reaching this picture's balance between the dark of suggested-hardcore violence with R-rated visuals and the light of a extroverted costume design for the judges by Jean-Paul Gaultier executed for further set operations by costume designer Emma Porteous, which makes a brilliant figure in enriching texture and character subconsciously in addition to Adrian Biddle's cinematography and Nigel Phelps' production design.That this 70 Million Dollar production directed by a 26-year-old Danny Cannon, who works nowadays in U.S. television for as show-running director for episodes of "Gotham", still hails its relevance 22 years after a disappointing summer release on June 30th 1995 at the box office, and further never quite received the cult status which it might deserve, has been due to some MPAA regulations that certain scene, especially the fight scene between Dredd's nemesis brother Rico, mesmerizing portrayed by actor Armand Assante, had to be cut as rumor has it because of some inconceivable shots of half-breed clones charging for attack in a secret Mega City laboratory. In that sense the 90 minutes cut by under pressure appearing editor Harry Keramidas and substituted by Alex Mackie feels to this very day incomplete with the internal desire to be improved to make "Judge Dredd" an epic as it deserves to be due to a fallen, governmental-judged, desert-abandoned and risen-again storyline of the leading character's arc, Judge Dredd himself.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

The problem with this movie is simple: nobody cares about Judge Dredd.For a basic plot summary, this film is set in an American future where the rule of law is enforced by "Judges", who skip trials and act as judge, jury, and executioners. When the finest of all these futuristic law-enforcers, Judge Dredd (Sylvester Stallone), is set up and put away for murder, the shady past of the Judge System is finally brought out into the light.Though Judge Dredd may be listed (according to Wikipedia) as the seventh-greatest comic book character, his appeal isn't nearly broad enough to draw in the audience needed to make this film work. When it comes to comic books, it's pretty much Batman, Superman, Spidey, X-Men, and then everybody else. Director Danny Cannon does a decent job of creating an over-the-top comic book adaptation, but unless you are familiar with the Judge Dredd world established in the comics, this film will leave you confused, bored, and severely disappointed.The acting in the film is also terrible. Stallone does little more than shout "I am...the law" multiple times and flex his huge arms while shooting automatic weapons. One has to wonder how a serious actress like Diane Lane got caught up in this dreck. Plus, can you really take any movie seriously if it includes Rob Schneider in more than a cameo role?Thus, I consider this to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and one that unless you are a "Judge Dredd nut" (which excludes roughly 99% of the population), you should avoid at pretty much all costs. Go see Demolition Man instead.

I guess if I was a fan of the "Judge Dredd" comics, I would have disliked this more. From what I saw, it isn't really THAT bad. It's really cheesy and over the top, but it is kind of entertaining in that way. Don't get me wrong, I still wouldn't recommend this film, but it's not quite as bad as people see. I mean, a movie that pairs Rob Schneider and Sylvester Stallone is pretty much doomed to fail. There are so many ways to make this better. And wouldn't you know it? They did make it better with the new Dredd movie...even though I personally wouldn't quite recommend that either.It tells the story of Judge Dredd, who's framed for a murder by his evil brother, Rico. I guess it's hard to hate this movie, because there really is the sense that it was never intended to be anything that good. I will compliment this film on having some great settings. I mean, this film is truly beautiful to look at! These are backgrounds and sets that really hold up! It really does make me miss the designs of the mid 1990's. Yeah, Rob Schneider's quite annoying, but at least he has more serious actors to work off of, I guess. A lot of what they do is actually pretty creative and the characters are kind of colorful.It's still way too hard to take seriously. Stallone's dialogue is way too silly to care. I believe that this guy was nominated for the most Razzies. My advice is just ignore this one, but I can see how some people would consider it a guilty pleasure. I just wish we could have seen those clones fight at the end. Those last scenes had so much potential!
