Judge Dredd (1995)

The production design is incredible, and Sly has an absolutely killer chin. I completely get the casting decision. He looks perfect for this.

But god, any action movie that spends half its runtime in a courtroom instantly loses me. So much of this is just people talking at each other in rooms, demanding his innocence in courtrooms and jail cells. It’s so boring.

What’s hilarious is watching Stallone desperately chase Arnold’s sci-fi action success and just… consistently picking the worst projects. The ambition is there, the chin is there, the sets are there… but man, the pacing is not.

Give me more dystopian cityscapes and less legal proceedings.
