I am the LAW!

The reboot of Judge Dredd is not far away now.  A great character that I am looking forward to seeing (I won't say again, but we'll come to that in a moment), especially as Karl Urban is stepping into the lead role.  I'm confident he will make a great job of giving Judge Dredd the big screen outing he deserves.


As you may, or may not, know, Dredd had a previous outing courtesy of Sylvester Stallone.


Before we go any further, let's not forget that Dredd originally came to us via the Great British comic anthology 2000 AD.  He's a law enforcement officer in a violent city who has the power to take on the role of judge, jury and executioner.  Dealing out a lethal brand of justice as he sees fit.  For someone who has no super powers, this guys is the ultimate bad ass!  This guy has even taken on Aliens, yes the very same acid for blood ones we know and love from the famous film franchise.

Imagine my horror when watching the 1995 outing.  The bloody things a show tune or two away from being a sodding musical!  Don't even get me started on the Angel Gang, Mean Machine Angel...well, it's just not right I tell you.

Luckily by the end of the year, things will be set right.  Judge Dredd will be The Law once more.
