Sound off in the poll below. ![]() In the end, I’m well aware that most people don't like Sly Stallone's Judge Dredd, but it’s definitely one of my favorites. So, more Sly Stallone’s Dredd than Karl Urban’s. He’s actually more of a fascist asshole who is pretty much the last cop you would want protecting you. Judge Dredd is actually kind of a satirical series, and the character is not supposed to be a good guy. I was around 12 when it came out, which was just the right age to get me into the series.Īnd, besides, the 1995 movie is actually much closer to the comic than the 2012 version. Stallone is John Spartan, a risk-taking police officer who has a reputation for causing destruction while carrying out his work. It stars Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Sandra Bullock, and Nigel Hawthorne. No, Judge Dredd hit me at just the right time. Demolition Man is a 1993 American science fiction action film directed by Marco Brambilla in his directorial debut. ![]() Sure, you may say I might have gotten into the character with the 2012 film, but I doubt it, because it’s hard to grab my attention these days. So, I definitely never would have heard of 2000 AD. Back in the ‘90s, if it wasn’t Marvel, DC, or Image, I didn’t mess with it. Lastly, if there was no Judge Dredd movie in the ‘90s, then I probably never would have gotten invested in the character in the first place. But, having both versions of the character, I can appreciate and love them equally, which brings me to my last point. I never broke the law! I am the law!” it’s a lot more bombastic than when Karl Urban menacingly seethes, “Mama is not the law. When Sly hams it up and bellows, “IT’S A LIE! The evidence has been falsified! It’s impossible. Judge Dredd’s tone is much more fun than Dredd’s. It’s different, sure-way different-from Dredd, but it isn’t crap. The number one thing I hear people say when they applaud Zack Snyder’s Justice League is that “it was way better than the first movie.” But, what kind of metric is that? One film is good only because the other film is absolute crap? Is that how juxtaposition really works? You might think this is an unfair comparison, but look at Joss Whedon’s Justice League and Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Remember how I said that Dredd is my favorite comic book movie of all time? Well, I can mostly say that because I have something to compare it to. I Can Appreciate The Far Superior Karl Urban Dredd Even More Because Of It ![]()
