It’s probably because I was drunk when I watched Judge Dredd in the theater, but I seem to remember liking Stallone in that. I thought that Dredd was just a worse rip-off of The Raid, but then I read somewhere that they basically co-evolved to a similar thing.
As a Stallone movie it’s entertaining in a “brain off eat popcorn” way, same sorta feel as Demolition Man (which was fun). It’s only once you understand the material that it’s supposed to be adapting that you feel like you were cheated.

Judge Dread was a fine movie for people who are into that sort of movie (and I am) but it was a pretty terrible adaptation of the comics.

That makes sense. I enjoyed the first Tom Cruz Reacher movie. Then I read a handful of the books, and was just very disappointed in the casting.
I mean… Werner Herzog telling a man to eat his own fingers was pretty great. But otherwise yeah.
It also depends on your ability to not leave when Rob Schneider shows up and starts Rob Schneidering all over the damn screen.
