After viewing this movie, i got impressed with the weighted user rating (4.6), for me it is really underrated and the movie is well obtained and entertaining.
The story about a post-apocalyptic future, where people live in walled mega cities to protect themselves from the desert wasteland of the outside; and in which you can see that the crime is out of control, is watched by some elite police officers called the Judges, who are trying to maintain order in the city; this officers have an almost total autonomy to conduct the law; they are police, judges, jury and executioners all in one (an interesting subject and way to see the evolution of justice). Judge Dredd (Stallone) is the greatest and more admired and respected judge in the city, but suddenly he is accused for the crime of a journalist an his wife. Dredd then faces the challenge to probe that he is innocent, with the help of Judge Hershey (Diane Lane), an extremely good Judge and Lawyer, Herman Ferguson or Fergie (Rob Schneider) an coward and funny computer hacker who was convicted by Dredd and the support of Chief Justice Fargo (Max Von Sydow). He has to fight against one of the more evil criminal minds in his time, Rico (Armand Assante), and some of his allies.
The special effects in this movie are really good, and the futuristic view has a resemble of the fifth element (flying cars, and the sense of chaos), the acting performances are good; some people critic the role of Stallone, but if they had read the comic in which the movie is based (2000 A.D.) they would see that Stallone plays the role as it is (you can feel that the Judge Dredd of the comic is now in the screen as he is); Rob Schneider plays a good comic role and complement the depressing and cold Dredd Character; Diane Lane, makes good as an intelligent officer too.
This entertaining sci-fi film is good to have a good time with good action and excellent visual effects, worth to see 7/10
