Movie Review: Judge Dredd (2012)

I went to this movie with a little bit of trepidation. The older version with Sylvester Stallone was, while a little campy, a great show. Sitting in the theater I hoped for something that could rival it. I wasn't let down. It started off immediately setting the pace for the entire movie. Not strong on story, but tipped its hat to the Dredd universe along the way. Character development was entertaining, and has a great pace. I'm not quite convinced this was up to the previous version, but it did have a better bead on the original graphic novels. Verdict: good entertainment, not much thinking. Action all the way. Two and a half stars out of five.
