Judge Dredd- my review

I first saw this movie when it came out on video, and still to this day I like it. The plot isn't much different from any other action movie; basically the good guy gets framed and has to prove his innocence.
But as far as action goes it's nearly non stop and exciting to watch. I love the huge robot, and the cyborg from the cannibal family (awesome makeup job!!!).
it's not anywhere near as bad as some other action comic book films like the Halle Berry Catwoman movie, or Electra. It's not exactly the most cutting edge movie, but entertaining none the less. i watch movies for entertainment more than the plots (which are basically all the same anyway).
i love futuristic sci-fi action flicks so this one is decent in my opinion. Stallone plays the no-nonsense Dredd quite well, and even talks like he has a bit of brains compared to how he talks in the Rocky films. Rob Schnieder plays his annoying whinny sidekick, but he's not quite as annoying as Chris Tucker in the Fifth Element, who is the worst movie character ever!!
Ammand Assante plays the psycho villan role quite well, as well as the woman paying Judge Hershey does a good job with her role; who seems to be a bit of love interest for Dredd.
i like Max von sydnow as the chief justice and Dredd's father figure, always good to see him in a movie.
I've never read the comic book so I can't compare the movie to that, but compared to other comic book movies, this one isn't that bad. It may not be as popular as Superman or the many Marvel movies, but it's still a decent one to watch for a bit of variety. not every comic book character has to have super powers, so this is a good alternative. The story isn't bad either as Dredd learns the truth of his past, which alot of people can relate to.
If you like the movie, buy the DVD. If not, then no amount of explaination or review will ever do. My only complaint would be the lack of deleted scenes or any behind the scenes footage that most movies have now.
