Caryn James, New York Times: Although it is full of noise and fake firepower, Dredd simply lies there on the screen until the final scenes. Read more

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: Directed without inspiration by Danny Cannon from a stupid script by Michael De Luca, William Wisher, and Steven de Souza. Read more

Peter Rainer, Los Angeles Times: The director doesn't provide much kinetic movie-making pleasure but he knows enough to jam the screen with clamor. It's not excitement, exactly. It's simulated excitement. Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: The movie, by the end, practically seems intent on destroying itself. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Sometimes, it's rather amusing, but it's impossible to decide whether this is accidental or on purpose. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Stallone survives it, but his supporting cast, also including an uninvolved Joan Chen and a tremendously intense Jurgen Prochnow, isn't well used. Read more

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: 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. Read more

Geoff Andrew, Time Out: This slam-bang Stallone vehicle never quite delivers what its confident, fizzing visuals seem to promise. Read more

Todd McCarthy, Variety: A thunderous, unoriginal futuristic hardware show for teenage boys. Read more

Rita Kempley, Washington Post: Aside from the affable Schneider and the able Lane, the cast seems to be in deep shock. Um, make that Dredd lock. Read more
