True, but they're both movies about the same character and same universe.
I personally didn't mind the Stallone Dredd, although (much like Dune) had I known anything/cared about the source material I'm sure I would have. I don't think I'd ever heard of Judge Dredd prior to seeing the movie. Never been a comic book guy.
That being said, the Urban Dredd is absolutely ****ing brilliant. It's basically the Die Hard of science fiction.
One more interesting Dredd tidbit. My buddy who sells/collects movie memorabilia has managed to collect Stallone's entire Dredd costume and has it displayed on a mannequin in his basement showroom. It's really cool. It's also really tiny, which is amazing considering the way he comes off in his movies. I should have taken some pictures of it last time I was there.
