Re: Judge Dredd Reboot!! - Part 2
You know, I don't actually think Dredd did *change* in the remake. He's a hardass certainly, but he's a hardass who does things like:
1. Give a harmless beggar fair warning to stop lawbreaking rather than letting him go unwarned
2. Took down a couple kids nonlethally who were pointing guns at him, because they were clearly dumb kids over their heads
3. Told Anderson that "99% certain isn't good enough to execute a man."
Dredd at the end of the movie didn't soften his views on the law. Rather, he softened his views on *Anderson*, who showed that she was both learning the lessons, and had judgement and conviction to match her idealism.
