It's not a great film, but Stallone removing the helmet isn't unpalatable, any more than having Tobey Maguire's face showing during a huge proportion of Spider-Man 2 thanks to the excuse of a ripped or removed mask--actors act with their faces, it makes sense to let them.<br /><br />The more recent Karl Urban film felt underwhelming. There's nothing <i>wrong</i> with it as a film, it's just very simple and lacks the dark satire of the older Dredd comics (although that satire has been downplayed in more recent years, I think). To me it felt like a TV pilot, rather than a movie.<br /><br />Both films tone down the costume, which hampers their sense of conviction to the material. More crucially, neither has an especially memorable villain, and that may be partly due to the (Dredd writer) John Wagner method of not really using recurring bad guys, by and large.<br />KlownKrustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951875989078181671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-45867711495364134222016-06-09T18:33:19.378+01:002016-06-09T18:33:19.378+01:00Its still massively under-rated to this day.

In many ways, I still prefer it to the more recent ( and admittedly excellent ) reboot with karl urban.<br /><br /><br />whatever you may think of stallone, there's no faulting the supporting actors ,especially armand assante and jurgen prochnow.<br /><br /><br />edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633073283427830809noreply@blogger.com
