“If that had been the first Batman movie, I think we wouldn’t be watching Batman movies.”ĭredd got another chance in 2012 with the release of Dredd, written by Alex Garland and starring Karl Urban. “It would be like if Batman & Robin was the first Batman film to come out, with the nipples and the AmEx card,” Bishop says.
Unfortunately in America the character is best known from the execrable 1995 Sylvester Stallone vehicle Judge Dredd, which turned the character into something of a punch line. For coverage of more modern, 2021 movies, check out our guide to new releases.The best-known character to emerge from the magazine is Judge Dredd, a fascist dystopian antihero. What do you think? Sound off in the poll below. In the end, I’m well aware that most people don't like Sly Stallone's Judge Dredd, but it’s definitely one of my favorites. So, more Sly Stallone’s Dredd than Karl Urban’s. He’s actually more of a fascist asshole who is pretty much the last cop you would want protecting you. Judge Dredd is actually kind of a satirical series, and the character is not supposed to be a good guy. I was around 12 when it came out, which was just the right age to get me into the series.Īnd, besides, the 1995 movie is actually much closer to the comic than the 2012 version. No, Judge Dredd hit me at just the right time. Sure, you may say I might have gotten into the character with the 2012 film, but I doubt it, because it’s hard to grab my attention these days. So, I definitely never would have heard of 2000 AD. Back in the ‘90s, if it wasn’t Marvel, DC, or Image, I didn’t mess with it. Lastly, if there was no Judge Dredd movie in the ‘90s, then I probably never would have gotten invested in the character in the first place. But, having both versions of the character, I can appreciate and love them equally, which brings me to my last point. I never broke the law! I am the law!” it’s a lot more bombastic than when Karl Urban menacingly seethes, “Mama is not the law.
When Sly hams it up and bellows, “IT’S A LIE! The evidence has been falsified! It’s impossible. Judge Dredd’s tone is much more fun than Dredd’s. It’s different, sure-way different-from Dredd, but it isn’t crap. The number one thing I hear people say when they applaud Zack Snyder’s Justice League is that “it was way better than the first movie.” But, what kind of metric is that? One film is good only because the other film is absolute crap? Is that how juxtaposition really works? You might think this is an unfair comparison, but look at Joss Whedon’s Justice League and Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Remember how I said that Dredd is my favorite comic book movie of all time? Well, I can mostly say that because I have something to compare it to. I Can Appreciate The Far Superior Karl Urban Dredd Even More Because Of It
