  1995's Judge Dredd received some serious smack, particularly at the scene where Stallone remove's his helmet. *sigh*BIG DEAL!!
  At least it was fun and entertaining. I enjoy watching this, even if it is not totally accurate.
  2012's Dredd was well received(for some reason). The effect's are good, but that's it. 99% of the movie is in a fucking building block. I found it extremely boring to the point of crying.
  
  They captured the gritty and serious tone in Dredd, but I think they over done it. You may as well go and play Doom/Wolfenstien.

  I think those are such different interpretations, the first was a bit goofy and funny but still a very entertaining film whereas the second one had that gritty edge. I liked the claustrophobic feel of the locked down block & that Dredd was closer to the comics.
  It depends on my mood which one I would choose to watch.

  Much prefer the new Dredd to the Stallone version. the stallone version isn't really Judge Dredd, it was just a star vehicle for Stallone with the name attached (he even has a comedy sidekick for some reason). The helmet thing is actually a big part of the character, in the many comics he's never shown his face and Stallone's face is barely covered, and putting aside the comics and looking at it just as a film it doesn't stand up to repeat viewing (at least it doesn't for me).
  
  Dredd while set in one location for pretty much all of it has a much better tone, and the action is much more brutal, and unlike the previous attempt you can tell the actor, director etc actually wanted to do some justice to the character. and the setting gives it more of a claustrophobic feel, plus Karl Urban was much better in the part.

  i prefer stallone to the new film however the new one has much better effects and has more action it it for soem reason i still think the original is better no idea why, when stallone takes off his helmet and is no longer a judge and kind of killed off hte film but was still a very good film

  I prefer the new Dredd movie. I didnt hate the original. I didnt enjoy the comic relief that Rob Snieder bought to proceeding. Dredd is not meant to be tounge in cheek. It was enjoyable enogh though. I thought Karl Urban did a fantastic job as Dredd. Two gripes though : the excessive use of slow mo and being the raid take 2. I hope the powers that be decide to make more though (and keep the certificate high as well).
