Danny Cannon's Judge Dredd

1995's Judge Dredd was the typical 90's movie. Dumb action, stupid sidekick, and a love story shoved into the movie just so the action hero would have something to look forward to just before the credits role. Thankfully, TM2YC is here to remove as much of Schneider as possible and to eliminate that love story that the real Dredd would never have engaged in.

Firstly, the visual and audio editing is definitely up there. There are small bits and pieces that you can tell were edited around, but are barely noticeable. I'm going to guess that Blu-Ray for Judge Dredd isn't going to be demo material considering the content, but the video quality is also up there. Everything in the story is consistent with the source material.

If i had to show someone a version of Judge Dredd, it probably would be this version. There is less of Schneider, so the movie is more tolerable on that front. The love story is removed, so its more true to the source material. It might have been a guilty pleasure of mine beforehand, but now its a solid cut of a movie, albeit it still not as good as the new Dredd movie. Recommended.

i love this fanedit,
i am a massive judge dredd fan but was 100% saddened when this come out, it was like the studio and sly had never seen or heard of judge dredd, they pretty much spat on the comics,
but now TM2YC has redeemed the judge dredd name this is an excellent fanedit it all goes together so well, i love the look of this fanedit it makes everything look good even the horrible costumes TM2YC made all the right cuts this is going in my collection and will be watched regularly.
anyone wanting to see a good version of the 1995 version of judge dredd needs to get this version.
i would like to say thank you to TM2YC for giving me a good version of this film i love it

Having been disappointed by the excessive stupidity included in the original and an overly emotive characterisation of Dredd I was exited by the goals of the this edit. It hits the mark accurately, most of the chaff has been removed and the heavy editing of Stallone's performance transforms it into one of his strongest — less is most definitely more here. Schneider's character still has a role in the film, but now he is an minor antagonising idiot vs a majorly irritating fool.

The first two thirds of the edit are strong and appropriately emotive, things start to weaken towards end — but that's due to the limitations of the source material not the editing. The final act does it's job and the ending carries much more weight than the original.

All in all a worthy investment of your time.

I have watched this edit about 4 or 5 times now and haven't tired of it yet. This edit really did a lot to bring this film in line with the source material. The editor made some really good choices to tighten it up. I did have some additional cuts that I wanted to see and have discussed those with the editor on the thread.

Honestly, I think this cut comes closer to the source material than the new Dredd film. It is better at capturing some of the satire form the comic. This is a must see for any Judge Dredd fan and anyone else who wants to see a well edited project.
