Theres a new Judge Dredd film on the horizon and having just watched the original again i have come to this suprising conclusion - its fucking awesome. Admittedly i have had a few drinks at this point but still this film does not get the recognition it deserves. Some major good points:
1 - Sylvester Stallone : Forget Rocky! The man was born to play this role. Badass to the end and delivers all the catchphrases perfectly.
2 - The ABC warrior : The thing is just awesome. 8ft tall. Wrist guns. Grimy, rusty exterior. My only question is why are we not building these things now?
3 - The plot : Manages to encapusulate most of the good stuff from the Judge Dredd universe in 92 minutes! Im sick and tired of having to sit through 3 hours of film to watch one third of a trilogy. This film keeps it short and sweet.
And everything else. Half grown clones. A cat fight between the sexy asian woman and the sexilicious Judge Hershey. Awesome "Heavy" Judge armour. A metropolis to rival Blade Runners L.A or Star Wars Coroscant. Mutant hillbilly cyborgs. A tolerable if not funny Rob Schneider.
So if youve seen this film i hope youll join me in praising it. If not you can probably get it for cheap on DVD and itll be worth it. Opinions?
