In The Future...One Man Is Judge, Jury and Executioner!

Big guns; big attitude; big bad robot! This is one of those movies you watch when your body is awake but your brain isn't. It's the big bad hero and his wise-cracking sidekick (nobody does it better than Rob Schneider). Stuff blows up. Bad guys get mowed down. What's it all about? Who cares! It's Rambo with a badge.

Good movie. I disregard most critics of Stallone because I find his acting to be fine. He has the understated, minimalist acting that I like.
Stallone does a fine job and has the stones to pull it off; he's tough, violent, yet tender when necesary. The supporting female does not exist only to get captured and rescued (thank the stars for that) and she has the acting chops to fully support him.
The plot moved along at a fast enough pace and the background and setting were terrific, such as futuristic cityscapes and harsh, arid deserts.Justice is here - seb1
It's unfortunate that "Judge Dredd" wasn't accepted by mainstream viewers or even received a cult following. I found it to be very entertaining. I don't see too many movies based on comic book superheroes that I honestly enjoyed. "X Men" for example went on too long, moved very slowly and took itself too seriously. "Judge Dredd" is a fast-paced sci-fi-action thrill ride that delivers from start to finish and has help in the comic relief department by Rob Schneider. Sylvester Stallone overacts throughout, but that's part of the fun. Watching him scream out "I AM THE LAW!!" makes you want to scream it out along with him, which is what I do whenever I view this movie. There are many quotable lines, which I enjoy reciting. "Judge Dredd" is not a deeply intelligent, insightful film. But it makes a great popcorn flick! This upbeat, funny, nonstop entertainment is a real treat for me to watch over and over again.
