    I judge Dredd a worthy form of entertainment

    I read a lot of Judge Dredd comics when I was in high school and early in university and quite enjoyed them. The Stallone version was a disaster and it was with quite a bit of trepidation that I decided to rent the recent version. I should not have worried. It is quite faithful to the spirit of the source material and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Will likely add it to the collection at some point. It will give your sub a good workout. Not for all tastes, but those who are so inclined (a bit reminiscent of Escape from New York in tone, though with fully modern effects) should enjoy it. :T

    Cool. I am SO tired of story reboots. The Stallone version wasn't great or anything, but I'm still reluctant to see a replacement. (Mr. "I-Am-The-Law") I'll definitely watch this as a rental or on TV, so I'll look forward to it.

      Rented it, based on your recommendation. Liked it! Liked that Dredd never took his helmet off, keeping the character pure for what it was written to be. Worth a rental.

          I didn't like the original, but if you guys liked the remake then I'll give it a go.
