Stallone did a Dredd movie in 1995 and it was crap, he wanted it to be action comedy and the studio insisted he take his helmet off a lot despite the fact than in the comics Dredd removing his helmet was a bout as common as Halley's Comet. Karl Urban's outing did the character justice (pun intended) as he portrayed the character as a by-the-book judge who sees the wold in black and white. Additionally, Urban's Dredd isn't up against some world conquering egomaniac, instead in this film he's testing a newbie as they go up against a gang boss that controls a single building in Mega-City 1. Sure inside the building Ma-Ma is hot stuff, but outside she's just another wanna be crimelord. To Urban's Dredd this is a simple 'day in the life' story of Judge Dredd.
