I liked the Original... kinda sad to see a bunch of these movies rebooted instead of new ideas coming, its like watching the same damn movie over again.

I do not see an issue with reinterpreting popular characters & film. Especially comic books. Also "reboot" is a stupid term for it. It gives the impression that all other interpretations are being binned; they aren't, it's just a different take is all.

That said this films looks pretty poor if those pictures are anything to go by.

They have to stop with all these remakes - Dredd is a classic just like Total Recall.

Are you mad!?!?
The first Dredd movie was a pile of Hollywood BS and had nothing in common with the original graphic novels.
Remake it and make it worth watching i say!

If the budget is under $50 million, it will be a guaranteed garbage. You cannot make a good sci-fi, high quality visual effects movie with that amount of money these days. If they really want to rock our socks they need to do better than that. This ain't the 1990s.

The Judge Dredd world and characters are quite visually exaggerated, and I wish they would use effects to make it like that:

It would be amazing if they did that.

WTF? I am a HUGE fan of the original comic, I have all of the original Eagle comics from the 80s of Judge Dredd and pretty much every spin off (recently thought to myself they may be worth something, worth ****), and it was a dark, moody comic. Almost Sin City esque meets British humor in a weird way. I loved it, as it was especially at the time not much like anything else, and he was just a badass.

If they followed the tone of the comic, did some of the better storylines from it as there was quite a few, do not see how they could mess this movie up, yet somehow it looks like they are. Visual style is nothing like the original comic. What Lampo posted is how it needs to start being done.

Think this is another flop honestly. Unless the budget is astronomical, I think an all CGI film would serve the source material 1000 times better. A dude walking around in this costume in reality in 2012, just looks a bit cheesy IMO. Hope I am wrong, would love for it to be great.

The only good thing about that movie was how bad it was. If you take out Stallone what is the point?

1995 movie was fantastic. Judges, mega cities, guns, cursed earth cannibals, blood, broken bones, a relic war robot that could kick Titan the Robot's ass, Armand as a complete psychotic. Only bit that sucked ass was Rob Schneider.
