Judge Dredd (1995)

Judge Dredd (1995)
Dir. Danny Cannon

Stallone appears with jutting chin and less than nine minutes later the helmet comes off. It ceases to be a Judge Dredd film and instead becomes a Sly film with a comedy sidekick. There's a decent amount of plot squeezed into the running time (96 mins), but it's full of inconsistencies and stupid one-liners.

To be fair, it's not all bad. Mega-City One was interesting, some of the Council of Chief Judges were good (especially McGruder) and the addition of Hershey was a nice touch, or it would've been if she'd not been there simply to hang some hurried plot advancements on.

If you somehow make it to the end of the movie you'll witness the worst part. Even Walter the Wobot would be appalled.
