Jeremy of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Director Pete Travis successfully reboots the iconic comic book character Judge Dredd for a hyper-violent film that explodes in 3D. Karl Urban was born to play the role and his respect for the property and character shows as he screams judgement and executes gang members and offenders in bloody fashion. Dredd 3D is the remake we deserved and Travis’ futuristic visuals mixed with Urban’s restrained performance makes for a bloody good show that leaves you wanting more."
