Stallone's Judge Dredd has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. It's up there with Demolition Man as a no-brainer sci-fi
action film. It's NOT Judge Dredd though. I think if I ever compared it too much to my favourite childhood comic character, then I would end up hating it. Stallone isn't playing Judge Dredd, he's playing Stallone and the differences between this and the source material allow me to distance them enough to enjoy the film as a seperate entity. The Karl Urban version seems to be sticking a lot closer to the feel of the comics, though so if they screw that up I won't be pleased.
