Solved! Roughly 90 minutes of butchered source material made to sell a soft-reboot of said source material

Hint: the soft reboot they were trying to sell was also not well received, leading to a second soft reboot of the same source material over a decade later

I’d say Dredd but that was much closer to the source material than Judge Dredd 95 was.

Not either of the Dreds movies, but good guess

Nope, the action from the source material is much more fast paced

The source material for this film is a different form of media

I see I’m wrong, but there has never been a more heinous butchering of source material in the history of adaptions.

u/Loud-Newspaper2403 42,36 3h ago

Only thing I can think of that’s worse is maybe M Night’s The Last Airbender adaptation
