- Excerpt: Like most simple concepts, when it’s done well, it’s done very well.
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: shamelessly embracing the violence and twisted elements that make for an R-rated film. It’s definitely not for the kids, showing brutal violence and mutilation, depicting serious drug use and swerving into the realms of sexual assault. But that’s okay. This movie isn’t meant for kids. It’s an adult action flick, so there’s nothing wrong with the brutality seen on the screen.

- Excerpt: …so similar to this year’s Indonesian cop thriller “Raid: Redemption,” it’s like two remakes in one.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: Dredd might not glorify its violence, but the movie does come close to fetishizing it, which is discomforting in its own way.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Dreadful, dystopian dirge, filled with graphic, gory, gruesome violence – and little else.

- Excerpt: The old ultra-violence with colours that viddy right well on the screen.

- Excerpt: I dunno much about Judge Dredd. I know he springs from a comic book series, I know he’s Judge Judy and executioner, and I know he never takes his helmet off. Forget the roughshodding of civil rights: it’s that last one that’s a major bummer.

- Excerpt: Rather than trying to be anything more creative or important, director Pete Travis has opted to tell a relatively straight-forward action adventure that just happens to be set in the fascinating Mega-City One starring the delightfully straight-forward Judge Dredd. Dredd isn’t trying to save the world, to quell a rebellion or to embark on an epic quest; he’s just tied up in a murder investigation that went bad – real bad.

- Excerpt: Great film about the comic character created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra.

- Excerpt: O juiz Dredd enfim ganha uma narrativa à sua altura: impactante, eficiente e sanguinária. Uma grata e inesperada surpresa.
