An average movie

Even though I heard only bad things about this flick, since I try to watch all the movies starring Sylvester Stallone, I thought I should give it a try. Honestly, in my opinion, this movie actually had a huge potential and the whole thing could have been really awesome. I mean, they had a badass character, to cast Stallone as Judge Dredd was just brilliant and there was a nice dark and gritty mood provided by this comic-book ...Unfortunately, it still didn't work out. Indeed, the whole thing was disappointing and mostly for 2 reasons. First of all, they toned down the material (bye bye badassery...) and secondly, where was the f*cking mask ?!? Stallone has the mask on maybe 10 minutes for the whole movie while it is one of the trademarks of the character... As a result, even though it was called ‘Judge Dredd’, it felt like something entirely different. Eventually, almost 20 years later, they tried to make another movie called ‘Dredd’ with Karl Urban in the starring role with this comic-book character and even though it wasn’t a box-office hit, it was actually rather well received so I will definitely check it out when I get the opportunity. To conclude, this version with Stallone was not really bad and there were actually some good things about it but the end-result was still rather disappointing and eventually, it is not really worth a look, even if you are a die-hard fan of Sylvester Stallone.
