Yes. It's good. The plot is nothing very clever, original or complex, but on it's bare bones is built a gritty meaty movie. It's pretty faithful to the spirit of the comics. Dredd keeps his helmet on, Anderson's character really comes to life as her, and the things they changed work well - we're already living in the future so they don't need to science-fiction-ise the details of the world that much. The judge uniform looks practical.
The juddering rumbling bass-heavy soundtrack that sets you constantly on edge is perhaps even more of a reason to see it in a cinema than the 3D.
(Everyone points out how close the concept is to The Raid, but it seems to be a case of coincidence, and 2000AD has a prior claim to block wars (maybe borrowed from JG Ballard?). But anyway both films do it really well.)
