A good movie

I was after first rather apprehensive concerning this flick (Yeepie, another reboot…) but since it was actually rather well received, I became really eager to check it out. Eventually, it turned out to be a nice surprise and probably one of the most satisfying reboot ever conceived. Indeed, like anyone else, I didn't care much about the version starring Sylvester Stallone but there was definitely some potential with this character and, this time, they really nailed it. Indeed, even though the concept was similar, the approach was completely different and that was a real blessing. Indeed, they created a decent vision of the future, the main character was completely bad-ass and the plot was entertaining enough. Indeed, Judge Dredd didn’t put off his mask and you could feel that he might show some emotions at some point but, no, thank God, it never happened and that’s how it was supposed to be from the beginning. His sidekick was also pretty decent and managed to add a little bit of humanity in this endless mayhem but she wasn’t a tiresome emotional block to his feet which was nice as well. Still, even though it was really entertaining, it was still not really amazing though since the whole thing was rather repetitive and highly predictable. Furthermore, I thought it was rather disappointing that the other judges would be so easy to corrupt. To conclude, even though it might not be really a masterpiece, it remains a solid action flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
