Superb response and one I felt sure was coming as well ;-) Tbh you rant some fine points Ref removing helmet, love affair, chief judges and most definitely Fergie. But I think as with "WWZ" if you distance the film from the book then its good entertainment. Though I accept the whole point of such films is to capture the feel of the books. Another cracking film though which I'm sure we can politely beg to differ on... However I may make mention of it from time to time :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529032232707676622.post-39499157981833406152015-04-04T03:55:51.295-07:002015-04-04T03:55:51.295-07:00The Stallone Dredd film had a lot to admire - Mega...The Stallone Dredd film had a lot to admire - Mega City One looked good. I loved the Judges' uniforms and weapons. The Hammerstein droid and Mean Machine Angel were excellent. But everything else was utter pants! Dredd removing his helmet - NO! Dredd having a love affair with Hershey - NO! Naming the Council of Five after some of the comic strips' Chief Judges and then killing them all - NO! Fergie - NO! The Angel Gang - with the exception of Mean - NO!<br />The script - NO! I could go on but I think you get the point. This could and should have been a lot better. The Karl Urban version was vastly superior in every way.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529032232707676622.post-89765472897197070872015-04-04T03:04:53.415-07:002015-04-04T03:04:53.415-07:00Thanks Bryan.

I don;t think you've commented yet where you haven't :-) I suppose in many ways you probably see Stallone's "Judge Dredd" as the "World War Z" of comic book films... so I'm sure you won't be surprised to know that I'm a huge fan of Sly's version :-) Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529032232707676622.post-10706717285212253442015-04-04T02:35:38.202-07:002015-04-04T02:35:38.202-07:00A very good review, Simon.

By the way, I'm with Bob, Karl Urban as Dredd was far, far better than Sly Stallone.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529032232707676622.post-79617572255028450892015-03-17T01:59:48.557-07:002015-03-17T01:59:48.557-07:00This is a great little two-parter Bob, though the ...This is a great little two-parter Bob, though the art is far better than the story imho. I should have a review of the conclusion posted at some point this week. Plus having already looked at "Rogue Trooper Classics" #1 a few months back I've got my hands on a few more issues. Plus "IDW Publishing" have done an all-new four-issue mini-series ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529032232707676622.post-87312427402681894162015-03-16T17:32:18.783-07:002015-03-16T17:32:18.783-07:00A shame this is the sequel, I loved this movie. Wa...A shame this is the sequel, I loved this movie. Way better than the travesty that Stallone was in. I thought Karl Urban made an excellent Dredd.<br />The comic looks OK though. I'd buy it, if I wasn't so obsessed by zombies at the moment. You mentioned Rogue Trooper, he was my favourite character in 2000AD, now that's a movie I would love to see made.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11616664689882136444noreply@blogger.com
