I'll prove it to you: you can take "The Raid: Redemption" put Judge helmets on its characters and BAM you got Dredd 2012, except it would have kick-ass action.

What I have against the movie is that they completely wasted Dredd.

They could have used any generic stoic character and it wouldn't have made ANY difference. Switch Dredd with John McClane from Die Hard, no difference at all.
Ok, now i know what you have against this movie. It still doesn't make it a bad movie.
