Review of Judge Dredd (1995) by Troy F — 20 Sep 2012
The opening credits crawl over a montage of 2000 AD comics. James Earl Jones narrates the apocalypse. Gorgeous matte paintings introduce you to the overstuffed New York City of Mega City One. Then Rob Schneider steps off the prison jet.
And so ends the most amazing 30 seconds of this film. From that point on Sylvester Stallone is taking off Judge Dredd's helmet, Schneider is comic reliefing all over the place, and Armand Assante is trying to out-"I AM THE LAW" the lead with monstrous scream acting.
All that being said, Judge Dredd might be an abomination but it's an entertaining failure and worthy of Stallone's action cannon...I'll take this any day over Daylight and Driven. VF.
