Review of Judge Dredd

Judge Dredd (1995)
6/10
A guilty pleasure
5 October 2006
I have to admit liking this movie. If you watch it without thinking too much about the dark, gritty 2000AD pretext there's a good time to be had here. Yes there is cheesiness and tacky lines ("I AM THE LAW!!") and bad acting, but my goodness they do it well. It's a bit like Snakes on a Plane - if you go in expecting it to be a bad movie then you'll probably enjoy it. I love the music though. Really. It has a theme that sticks with you after it's finished. Good action too.

All in all - for me this is a guilty pleasure. I don't gain enlightenment by watching it, but I do have a fun time and I'm entertained. What more could you ask for? Citizen Kane of the future? Sit down with some munchies, drinks and popcorn and enjoy the show.
