He is judgement, he is the law, he is Judge Dredd.

They could not have created a better Judge Dredd movie. Karl Urban understood the character and brought it to life in a way no one else could have. The Stallone version is a far cry to the comic book. 'Dredd' was not.

The best movies also have the best villains. Lena Headey was in the middle of doing 'Game of Thrones' and she kicks her cold and cruel game up a few notches with the role of Ma-Ma.

It's full of violence, and holds nothing back when it comes to the brutality. It also gives off far more realistic vibes than any other version.

The amazing part is that they achieved all of this on a fairly modest budget. The unfortunate thing is that it didn't do that well box office wise, so we'll perhaps never get a sequel. Perhaps that's for the best, as this was a masterpiece. It's got a huge cult following, and I've watched it many times and enjoy it just the same every time.
