Yeah, you just have to say stupid things. Super easy!

I stand by my statement. It's not stupid. You might disagree with it, but that doesn't make it stupid.

You're right. It is easy to provoke nerd rage around here!

What is your verdict, Judge?
The sentence is death

For the record - I kind of agree that the Stallone one was in keeping with the comics (iirc). I used to love 2000AD.

However, I thought the Urban film was better.

I think that's because - much like the Marvel and DC stuff - I'm not interested in them keeping with the "tongue in cheek" comic theme.

I want serious, dark stories from these movies. I want them remade, I want them remade well and I want them to be dark and serious.

Stallone was a good choice for the role back then and that could have been a decent movie. It just ended up being terrible.

Demolition Man, released a couple years before the Stallone Dredd, was a much more entertaining movie with Stallone in a similar role.

And even more intentionally comedic than Stallone!Dredd. Yet inarguably much better. Plotting and scene design always makes a difference.

Yes, but still not as badass as Judge Judy.
