Who’s that man with the helmet on his head?
It’s 2000AD’s top lawman, Judge Dredd!
Britain’s own Pete Travis directs,
(Perhaps too keen on slow-motion effects).
How good’s this one? Out of 5, say 3,
Much better than the Stallone monstrosity,
Thank Grud this time Dredd keeps his helmet on,
Inside is New Zealand’s Karl Urban.
Mostly in one building, something you’ve seen,
If you watched, Assault on Precinct 13.
Here’s Judge Anderson: resident psychic,
She boosts the film as Dredd’s female sidekick.
Brit Lena Headley is Dredd’s nemesis,
If you don’t like violence, give it a miss.
Dredd speaks like Robocop: “Twenty seconds to comply!”
But really, I’d think hard before you buy.
For Dredd fans will enjoy: he is the Law,
But others may find this a bit of a bore.

I quite liked the SS version,
but is admitting to such taste perversion,
Likely to result in viewers, or rather, deter them!!
Thanks Joe!
