The only thing that made the Stallone Dredd bearable for me was the fact that Diane Lane is kinda nice to look at. A lot of people bash the original judge dredd, but do not elaborate why. I feel as if people have preconceptions which they cannot get passed in order to judge things objectively. It's a fascinating and thought provoking story line and environment. Perhaps if they would have thrown in the obligatory love arc, it would have more fulfilled the formula we have been conditioned to expect and enjoy. My dislike of the movie has nothing to do with an "incomplete formula". It's simply a piss poorly written and acted film. I'll give Stallone his due for the original Rocky, but I've yet to see a decent performance from him since.	Posted by Thaelyn on Dec 7, 2013, 7:05:29 PM Quote this Post

Outland Wedlock Escape From Absolom Zardoz I'm not much of a movie buff (as in I watch maybe a couple of movies every year these days) yet somehow I know the first 3 of those. These are probably fairly known and possibly not so underrated, I dunno. Dark City Existenz Gattaca Brainscan Lawnmower man	Posted by Deleted on Dec 7, 2013, 8:05:19 PM

Sean Connery is the only thing that movie had. And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?

Not really a movie itself, but more of a collection. Creature Feature.	Posted by Deleted on Dec 8, 2013, 11:42:52 AM
