Review of Judge Dredd

Judge Dredd (1995)
5/10
Dredd was never meant to be campy
20 October 2023
The problem isn't the weak story, the problem isn't the poor choice of actors, the problem is trying make a Dredd movie that is action/comedy. Dredd was NEVER about humor, it's about action, crime, and some drama but NOT comedy. That is why it flopped. The DREDD movie understood this, the DREDD movie focused on Dredd and a SINGLE day in the life of a street judge. It's why the second movie was a 9 star and this one barely made it to 5. Stallone could have been a good Judge Dredd if he hadn't tried for humor, and stupid humor at that. Rob Schnider's inclusion was a mistake of epic proportions. I get that he was supposed to be the 'everyman' character but he failed at that on all levels.
