In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.

Clevercell Very disappointing...
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Michael Ledo The film takes place in a futuristic society after much has been destroyed with atomic radiation. Law enforcement officers are called Judges as they act as judge, jury and executioner. Society is attempting to regain law and order, but is losing. Drugs compromise the largest aspect of law enforcement. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) whose face we never see, is cold, calculating, and strictly by the book enforcer. He is assigned a rookie (Olivia Thirlby) who is a mutant and has special mind reading powers.When a triple homicide happens at a block high rise, our duo goes to investigate only to uncover a large scale drug operation. The drug is called "slo-mo" and gives one a slow motion sensation which adds to the special effects as we get to see plenty of slow motion killings.At this point the feature becomes akin to a video game where our two judges must ascend a a locked down high rise clearing out levels in order to reach Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) the leader.There is plenty of action. In fact the film is almost all action. The sound track was fast paced. Along with the heavy action and blood, one could claim this was similar to a Tarantino grindhouse. Parental Guide: F-bombs, brief sex, brief distant nudity (?), lots and lots of blood and some brain splatter.
swgjaaax This film is excellent. The characters, story, setting are all incredibly engaging. The camera-work is stunning. This was obviously a labor of love. Sadly, I never really heard about it when it was first released. I noticed some Youtube clips, and went out and found it on DVD. Blew my mind so much the first time, I had to immediately watch it again. Reminded me a bit of the first Mad Max film, and the first Robocop, but I liked it even better than both, and that's saying something. Definitely needs a sequel, hopefully with the same main actors (Dredd and Anderson), same writers, and same guy directing the camera work. This film is a work of art--a masterpiece.
gorf Once upon a time, there was a big, dumb movie called "Judge Dredd". The special effects were good for its time, but fans and hated it, mainly because Judge Dredd took off his magical helmet (that, and Rob Schneider. And the stupid plot. Critics hated it because it wasn't directed by Martin Scorcese). After all, they expected more than a silly Sylvester Stallone movie. Some years passed, when suddenly, a smaller but even dumber movie called "Dredd" popped up and surprised everyone. Fans of Judge Dredd wondered and worried if little Dredd was going to remove his magical helmet. "No" said the Dredd. "I'll keep it on my stupid little head!" The fans started to dance and sing, and hold hands. They lifted up Lil' Dredd and heaved him up and down, up and down. Suddenly, they heard a blood-curdling scream! The helmet hit the ground with a bang. Silence. One of the men carefully picked up the helmet...it was empty...only the helmet. Only the helmet. Quiet. The fan started to chuckle. Then laugh. Then he roared like crazy. Everyone resumed the silly little dance, and passed the helmet from one fan to the next in a strange, ritualistic way...forever.*closes book*And that's the only reason why Dredd fans like this movie. Forget that this is just a standard, unoriginal, sadistic action movie that happens to have Judge Dredd in it, a movie you have seen a hundred times already. Forget about the pointless sexual content. You see, it's all about the helmet. Oh no...no! The helmet! THE HELL...MmeeeEEERrrrrrgh!!!!
