Is this a legit question? While I have an appreciation for the 95 movie. 2012 blows it out of the water.
2012 for sure. Those who liked that should check out turbo kid.
I think the 2012 version was probably better, with much better action scenes and a better portrayal of Dredd himself, but the 1995 version was more fun. I liked the storyline from the 1995 version more and I liked the characters more overall. Rob Schneider was funny and plus the 1995 version had the hot asian villian lady who was one of my all time favorite crushes from any movie.

I agree with this completely. The 2012 version is so fucking good. I w watch it every few months. I wish I still had 3D glasses for my tv. It was even more amazing in 3D.95 sucked
2012 needs a sequel it's great
95 was comical exaggeration in a kind of neat clean sci fi environment. They did a good job in that but everything was meant to be a beer&bretzels easy going 90s movie bathing in cliche and overacting. Dredd was more of a cheesy superhero in an embarrasing costume like out of a fan meeting. Still a movie that worked for what it wanted to achieve. It was a movie to enjoy escapism.
2012 was one of the very few uncompromising action movies in the tradition of Alien...etc.
It avoided cliche and went straight for the gut with fantastic scenery, focused narrative development and violence playing right into the plot and main character. The courage to reduce the movie to this , if you think about it, very minor plot, gave us one hell of a movie.
An alltime goat top10 action movie. Sadly thats why it flopped in cinema and why we wont get a successor. If a movie has any artistic expression nowadays it flops in earnings. It was the uncompromised execution of the writers vision.
