Judge Dredd

It's Thanksgiving here in the states and that means it's time for this year's cinematic turkey. And you'd be hard-pressed to find a film that's as overstuffed as 1995's Judge Dredd.

If you were a fan of the character from his appearances in the comic book 2000 A.D., this was a pretty big betrayal of that source material. If you had no familiarity with it whatsoever, this was just an incoherent version of much better action/sci-fi movies. As a result, it was a critical and commercial disappointment.

It's since transformed into a cult film and this entire run of bizarre 90s adaptations has almost become its own sub-genre. So what's the verdict on Judge Dredd all these years later?

Topics include: how RoboCop derailed plans for this movie for many years, the big differences between the film and the comic, how so much more is being taken from those pages than you might realize, why some of the alterations probably felt like the right all at that time, whether or not the Karl Urban Dredd movie is ultimately any more faithful than this one, the other Stallone movie from this era that has more in common with 2000 A.D., and so much more!
