Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cool DVD and great Sci-Fi Movie
Review: Who says this is a ripoff? Everything is basically a ripoff of everything. This is a great Sci-Fi thriller with a ton of cool effects and great storyline. Must see!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great sound and special effects!
Review: Maybe the story is trite, but remember this is just a comic-book character fun adventure into Sci-Fi. I thought all the characters worked well. You have to approach this movie with a sense of humor. Stallone keeps saying "I knew that you would say (or do) that" , Rob Schneider does a great job adding his usual comic relief. And Diane Lane, well... she could judge me anytime! Excellent special effects, super duper 5.1 sound. Don't take it seriously and enjoy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Godd Transfer - Fun
Review: I must admit it took me some time to get used to the movie, but after some time (and reading the comics) I must admit I like that movie, it is fun to watch and even Sylvester Stallone couldn't ruin the movie :)

Whoever loves action comedies: Get the movie. The transfer is very good and you get a lot of fun :)

Summary: Judge Dredd Comes Through In Exciting Sci-Fi Yarn
Review: Judge Dredd began life as a comic book character in 1977. Since then his world has expanded as a satiric metaphor for law enforcement and related issues.

It became natural that a movie would be made. The result is this exciting and gloriously garish looking spectacle reminiscent of the overrated Batman films, but featuring a better cast and script.

Sylvester Stallone is perfect at Joseph Dredd. In the world of law, he IS the law. Perps don't stand a chance in Mega-City with Dredd, let alone when he receives most potent help from Judge Hershey (Diane Lane). The film explores Dredd's super-hard persona and is quite effective is explaining why Dredd comes off as little more than a machine.

The villain in the film is Rico (Armand Assante), Dredd's biological brother. Along with a renegade member of Mega-City's ruling council, Judge Griffin (a very effective Jurgen Prochnow), and a Nazi-esque scientist named Ilsa (Joan Chen with great cleavage and a horrible haircut), Rico plans to populate Mega-City with a race of obedient clones. But first they must frame Dredd, the Judge who sent Rico to prison. The battle to clear Dredd's name and stop Rico and Griffin takes up the action in the form of several very eye-catching action set-pieces, notably an aerial bike chase reminiscent of the Star Wars films, the lightcycle chase in Tron, and the famed car chases of Bullitt, The French Connection, and The Seven-Ups.

The film's major flaw lies in the lame comedy of Rob Schneider. Given the film's otherwise excellent casting - Max Von Sydow and Mitchell Ryan in particular give superb performances - the presence of Schneider is especially injurious to the film.

Danny Cannon's direction is good - nowhere better than in the scene when Griffin learns to his horror that Rico has doublecrossed him with the clones. The scene includes a great bit of suggestive comedy; Rico bellows to Griffin that "I'm about to become a Daddy," then cuts to a smiling Ilsa, as though Rico's boast is literal.

Despite Rob Schneider, Judge Dredd is an entertaining sci-fi action yarn.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dredd Is Awesome
Review: Judge Dredd is one of the most action packed thrillers yet! With an all star cast that includes Sylvester Stallone, Diane Lane, Max Von Sydow, and Rob Schneider. Follow Dredd as he tries to uncover a conspiracy that could Destroy Mega City one and the Government! END

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Law is the Word!
Review: The hit action epic is on video! Stallone is Judge Joe Dredd in a bleak future set long away from now. Capture the excitement! Based solely from the 2000AD comic strip. This is one recommended for sci-fi and action fans, and for lovers of other futuristic fiction such as Blade Runner. END

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Bring on the Sequel!!!
Review: I have to say that I was not familiar with any Judge Dredd comics, games or had had any other contact with the character apart from this movie so I cannot compare the character to other sources. Therefore, coming from someone that did not "know" the Judge prior to the film I have to say that the movie was FANTASTIC!
There are slight hints of Mad Max and Total Recall, so the movie falls into the action/adventure/science fiction type of category, and what a major hit this action-packed movie is!
Sylvester Stallone, Armand Assante, Diane Lane, and Rob Schneider, have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding, making this movie one of the best of its kind. The actors' great talent and chemistry clearly shows, thus providing a film that can be watched over and over again. The plot, the setting, the special effects, the battles and the costumes are all wonderful!
In short, I would definitely line up to watch a sequel!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
