Just doing a compare and contrast between Judge Dredd (1995) and Dredd (2012)
I think Dredd 2012 wins
Sorry Sly.
I think Sly is a big enough boy to take that on the chin. He must have known it was inevitable when he strapped on that codpiece.

“LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!”
Forgetting the critics and die hard comic book Dredd fans, this movie will always have a place in my heart. I AM THE LAW!!!
It does have a lot going for it…
Dredds?
We all know Stallone’s version was beyond shit but comparing the look he has to Urbans… He seems to be somewhat closer to the comic book look wise.
Welllll Urban’s helmet is very closely modelled on the comic version, the problem with Stallone’s uniform (ignoring the gold cod piece) is that it was a little too faithful to the comic in the shoulder pads and showed how unweildy they’d be in a real life situation. That is why Urban’s outfit takes a lot of inspiration from riot police armour.
Den of Geek have posted a lengthy look back at the Stallone Dredd movie:
First, let me put my cards on the table. For the best part of thirty years, I have been a huge fan of the character Judge Dredd, and the British comic 2000AD in which he appears.
I state this at the outset just so that you can appreciate the effort it has taken for me not to revert to tedious and predictable whinging about Stallone removing the helmet, Rob Schneider being cast as Fergee, and Dredd exchanging a kiss with Judge Hershey at the film’s conclusion
Not for me the polemic of the immovable fan-boy, but rather the dispassionate objectivity of a reasonable film critic, someone who can see that compromises have to be made, and that comic book movie franchises are adapted for a wider audience than just the readers of the strips themselves.
Indeed, only a grexnix could fail to understand how…Gargh. I can’t do it, drokk it! Each and every one of those decisions was wrong I tell you! Wrong, wrong, wrong!
He should have kept the helmet on! Rob Schneider should never have been cast as Fergee! And Judges should never, ever kiss!
There. I feel so much better for getting that out of my system.
More.
