Dredd was a very high-...I'm in total agreement. Dredd was a very high-speed, low-drag sort of action film. Lean, stark, and simple, but what it tried to do, I think it did very well. <br /><br />The Stallone version, while (kinda) entertaining as a buddy post-apoc buddy-cop action-comedy, failed on many levels to have any relation to Dredd by, of course, immediately stripping him of his Judge powers for most of the movie, just one of many of its faults.<br /><br />The Urban film focused on what Dredd was; an utter badass who had absolute conviction in his code of conduct and the Right of the Law. But he's not stupid, and he's not without sympathy or understanding of the world around him, either. I agree that there's no way they could have fit the 2000AD Dredd into a film and do it right (although I got a kick out of seeing "Drokk" written on the back of a jacket during the opening car chase), but what we were given was, in my mind, an acceptable facsimile.
