Ten years ago, we saw the second big-screen adaptation of a popular British graphic novel – the previous one (Judge Dredd) which came out in the 1995 starred Sylvester Stallone and was widely disliked by both fans and non-fans of the original comic. As a result, expectations for this latest version were pretty low in the lead-up to its fall release.
And then people saw it…..and most were pretty blown away! The story was straightforward, the villain was memorable (Ma-Ma played by Lena Headey), the action was exciting, and even Dredd himself was portrayed by star Karl Urban as the bad-ass anti-hero that hardcore fans had been hoping for! Unfortunately, it flopped at the box office….though this movie has had a devoted following every since. Let’s revisit this now-cult classic directed by Pete Travis….or was that Alex Garland? :o
