	Author	Review
United States	Caryn James The New York Times	"Like a comic book, the film is busy and flat, and in this case mercifully short (...) [It] relies on computer-generated special effects so laughably dull the film resembles a video game."	NEG
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"Usually engaging and sympathetic, Stallone is blank and tongue-tied here, an immovable slab in the midst of 95 minutes of gunfire, explosions and Gothic excess."	NEG
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"Utterly undeveloped beyond its comic book origins, 'Judge Dredd' is a thunderous, unoriginal futuristic hardware show for teenage boys."	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Stallone survives it, but his supporting cast, also including an uninvolved Chen and a tremendously intense Prochnow, isn't well used (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"If I can’t work up much enthusiasm for it, that’s because the sets are so nifty and detailed, and Stallone pumps so many rounds of bullets into each one of them, that the movie, by the end, practically seems intent on destroying itself."	NEG
United Kingdom	Geoff Andrew Time Out	"This slam-bang Stallone vehicle never quite delivers what its confident, fizzing visuals seem to promise."	NEG
