In the crime-plagued future, the only thing standing between order and chaos is Judge Joseph Dredd (Sylvester Stallone). His duty: police the violent metropolitan sprawls that crowd the decaying earth, and kill criminals on the spot if necessary. The tables are turned, however, when maniacal ex-Judge Rico (Armand Assante) frames Dredd for murder. But, as his opponents soon discover, not even a prison sentence can stop Dredd from doling out his signature brand of justice.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Judge Dredd wants to be both a legitimate violent action flick and a parody of one, but director Danny Cannon fails to find the necessary balance to make it work.

Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly The movie, by the end, practically seems intent on destroying itself. Rated: C+ Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Todd McCarthy Variety A thunderous, unoriginal futuristic hardware show for teenage boys. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Directed without inspiration by Danny Cannon from a stupid script by Michael De Luca, William Wisher, and Steven de Souza. Apr 25, 2007 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...Don't listen to the doubters, with a great aerial chase scene, lots of cool guns and gadgets, and a 30's serial vibe, this Judge Dredd is above the law when it comes to mindless fun.... Rated: 3/5 May 30, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Accomplishes numerous visual feats, from the gruesome makeup effects for the denizens of the Cursed Earth to the flying car chases across the neon cityscapes. Rated: 6/10 Sep 14, 2020 Full Review Drew Dietsch Giant Freakin Robot As a piece of pure production, [Judge Dredd] needs to be heralded as one of the best achievements of the '90s. Everything about the film's texture is a resounding success. Jun 11, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Not Stallone's best, but solid. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Terry H The costumes were ok... ...then he took off his helmet. Hot flaming garbage of a movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Juiz Dredd Elenco: @officialslystallone @armandassante.official @iamrobschneider @dianelane_gallery @dianelaneofficial Max Von Sydow, Jurgen Prochnow @baltgetty Modelo: #ficção #ação #policial Duração: 1h 36m Ano: 1995 Minha opinião: antes deste filme, Stallone fez “O Demolidor” em 1993 com Wesley Snipes e Sandra Burllock, filme com grande sucesso. Creio que ele quis repetir a dose. Um filme que soube dosar um policial frio e calculista com a parte cômica, com Rob Schneider é uma boa química que em poucos filmes Stallone conseguiu como em “Tango & Cash”. Aqui temos a estória em quadrinhos se tornando filme, onde temos Stallone no papel principal de juiz Dredd, que em um futuro, ele tem o papel de policial e juiz e assim diminuir a criminalidade. E em uma rebelião Dredd julga Herman culpado, mesmo não sendo e assim enviado a prisão. Mas Dredd é incrimado de um crime que não cometeu e para não tomar a pena máxima, o chefe da justiça que é seu tutor se sacrifica para a aposentadoria para salvar Dredd. Mesmo Dredd afirmando que é inocente e sente na pele a injustiça que pode ter alguns julgamentos. Mas tudo isso foi armado por Juiz Griffin que desejava o lugar de o chefe. E para isso ele soltou o irão de Dredd que é gêmeo Rico, e assim conseguiu se passar por Dredd, mas ele não sabia de nada, até o momento que ele depois que a nave de prisioneiros foi abatida, Dredd e Herman voltam a cidadela para provar sua inocência. E para isso terá que desmascarar Griffin e Rico. Um filme que para época os efeitos especiais eram limitados, mas neste filme foram bem produzidos. E tendo para ajudar Dredd a juíza Hershey (Lane) e Olmeyer além de Herman. E ao final onde Dredd descobre toda a verdade e tem que vencer Rico. Roteiro e enredo bons. Um filme que fez mais sucesso nas locadoras que nas bilheterias dos cinemas. Vale apena assistir? Sim com certeza. Nota: 8,5 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Jithin K From what I've read Stallone wanted more comedy in it and the director didn't and the director was right. The cheesy one-liners were just atrocious. I've never thought of Stallone as a great actor but I've never thought he's as bad as in this in anything else either. The visuals were really great though. Lots of great visual effects and production design. The action was also pretty good when it isn't being butchered to tone it down to PG-13. The way the movie began, I was sure that they were not gonna be true to the themes they were seemingly exploring because it was more interested in showing Stallone's heroism. But as the movie progressed it seemed to be better than how it started but at the very end, it was right back at the start, nothing's changed. What was the whole point then? Diane Lane deserved better. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review master g It was great the story needed some more Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Tam W I never read the Judge Dredd comics or knew anything about them prior to seeing this so i can't relate to all the canon / non canon stuff others are posting. The pacing was very poor and the movie was quite boring with not much of a plot. It's a shame as the special effects and sets were fantastic looking, which is why it gets 1.5 stars instead of 1.
