I was blown away with the awesomeness of this movie when it came out. At the time, Judge Dredd was a joke. I AM THE LAAAAHHHWW! Classic terrible movie that stuck with the character too. That is, until the new movie came along. This is what I want in a R rated action film. It knows what it is, and it doesn't try to be some sort of deep, emotional drama with action. No, it is a simple plot, with a simple conflict that is super exciting to watch.

I had actually forgetten a lot of the details since I first saw this one. It was nice to live through it again. The whole sequence with the homeless guy is one that I enjoyed going through blind twice. And the outcome of those giant chain guns coming out... wonderful. But the very best part of the whole movie is the fact that Karl Urban nails that role. Somehow he keeps that frustrated and annoyed frowny face going for every shot, yet still manages to show us what he's thinking internally. Urban has a sad frowny face, a happy frowny face, a bored frowny face, and even a respectful frowny face. That is acting folks.
