I have just watched the film Dredd, based on the Judge Dredd comic 2000AD. It was awesome. Massively better than my expectations. I wasn't expecting much. Probably because I have memories of the Silvester Stallone version. The Stallone version wasn't awful but it didn't do the franchise any favours either. It certainly wouldn't have won the character any new fans.
Actually, I was playing the videogame Tomb Raider Underworld this afternoon and the same thought occurred to me about the films in which Angelina Jolie played Lara Croft. Although she looked great when in character and she didn't do a bad job but the scripts really let the films down and wouldn't have won any fans over to the character who have never enjoyed the videogames.
