Judge Dredd

In a dystopian future where Judges maintain law and order by acting as judge, jury, and executioner, Dredd fights to prove his innocence after being falsely accused of murder.
What critics thought
Critics in 1995 savaged Judge Dredd almost universally, finding it a noisy, tonally confused spectacle that wastes its cast and can't decide whether it's a violent action film or a self-parody. The one persistent dissent comes from retrospective viewers who argue the production design — sets, costumes, and practical effects — was genuinely impressive and more faithful to the source material than its reputation suggests.
“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.”
Mick LaSalle·San Francisco Chronicle
“Although it is full of noise and fake firepower, Dredd simply lies there on the screen until the final scenes.”
Caryn James·The New York Times
“Sometimes, it's rather amusing, but it's impossible to decide whether this is accidental or on purpose.”
James Berardinelli·ReelViews
“A thunderous, unoriginal futuristic hardware show for teenage boys.”
Todd McCarthy·Variety
