Review title: A waste of a great idea.
Product review: I grew up reading the 2000AD comics which introduced Judge Dredd , and I remember really looking forward to seeing what could be done with the character.The timing of the movie appeared so right Stallone and Schwarzenegger seemed at the peak of their appeal to the movie going audience. Consequently a monosyllabic... law enforcer against a Sci-Fi backdrop couldn't miss, could it ?Unfortunately here it did, in the original comics ( to the best of my recall ) Dredd never removed his helmet, that part could have played by anyone. Instead of paying a ludicrous 'star' salary that money could have been spent on the movie, where it was really needed - am I the only one who cringed at some of the dialog, laughed at the special effects and blinked as some of the sets shook ?This could have been the seed of a great movie franchise, instead a comic strip that enthralled kids throught the 70's was pulped into nothing in an hour and half. What a shame.
