Well, there's Dredd.
Dredd was fucking awesome and didn't get the justice it deserved.
I'm not a comic book guy by any means but that movie is great.
Equally so is Constantine. (And the TV show!)
Either of them have reached the levels of the worst, most generic Marvel movie.
The original Dredd was better. It's meant to satire cops, not just be an uncritical action flick about a badass cop. If you strip Judge Dredd of its silliness and satire you're left with dust colored post apoc action, and Fury Road did a better job of that.
I don't consider it a remake. The story is totally different.
It's not a remake of the Stallone movie, it's a second attempt at making a movie based on the comics, which is exactly what OP is talking about.
