After reading reviews I thought this was a remake of another movie. I have not seen the Sylvester Stallone version so my husband gave me a run down. What he told me and what this movie was about is two different stories.
The time frame the movie was set in made it interesting. I liked the plot and how it ended, and I was sad when it ended because I wanted to watch more. I wish we could of watched it in 3D because while I was watching I kept thinking wow that part is probably nice in 3D.
I do not understand all the negativity surrounding this movie and if someone decided not to see it because they thought it was another hashed remake then all I can say to those people... All of you are missing out!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Dredd is not just good, it reminds of of what actions movies and heroes should be. Energetic, spare and relentless in tempo. It starts with a bang and never lets up. you know a movie is good when the audience fears for the life of the lead actor.
Karl Urban is great as Judge Dredd and creates a towering authority figure using only the bottom part of his face. Olivia Thirlby is great and the sidekick with more kick than side and Lena Headly is simply the most menacing bad guy in recent history.
So why is this movie struggling. I'll tell you why. Hollywood has become dependent on marketing and frightened little people who are disconnected from the population. had this movie come out in the early part of the year, it would have been a mega hit but somewhere int he testing and committee meetings, no one cold see what they have here: a franchise. Let's hope Europe saves this fine film.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, fight scenes, karl urban, badass gun
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Even though this was a Judge Dredd re-do, I enjoyed it a lot. It won't be for everybody, but as a sci-fi enthusiast, the ride was exciting. I might have tweaked it here and there, but all in all I liked
Yes, I recommend this movie.

So my gf told me we should watch DREDD because it has been getting some great reviews. I decided to check out the trailer here on movietickets.com. Half way into the trailer i was confused and shocked because it was pretty much THE SAME EXACT trailer as Raid Redemption. I'm still gonna watch DREDD and if its anything like Raid it will be a violent action packed thrill ride. The only downside might be that I've seen the movie but in a diff. setting. Watch the 2 trailers and you be the Judge.
Cons mirror movie?
Yes, I recommend this movie.

If you are a fan of the the British comic character, you will be in heaven watching this film. This is the Judge Dreedd I read as a boy growing up and Karl Urban does a brilliant job portraying him, as rough, tough and fair (and don't worry, there is no Walter the robot!). Olivia Thirlby's performance of Judge Anderson is equally mesmerizing, first appearing frail and delicate, but truely as strong and tough as Dreed. The villian, Lena Headey is also brilliant in ruthlessness.
The special effects are really amazing and are hard to describe (unique and breathtaking). The world these characters live in is harsh, grim and ever so real. The film has a real hyper kinetic feel to it, not sure how else to describe it. There is also a great deal of violence, which is to be expected based upon the world these character exist within and the film may not be for the very squemish. I saw a late night showing and missed the 3D version, but I suspect the 3D showing must have been glorious fun. The time flew by watching this and the action never seemed to slow down
I hope they continue with additional sequels and we get to see the Dark Judges eventually, especially Judge Dredd and Jude Anderson versus Judge Death.
Highly recommended, particularly for the fans, but all others will probably enjoy this too.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Going to start with this: Judge Dredd does not begin and end with Stallone's terrible 1995 movie. Dredd's been at the forefront of British pop culture for the last 35 years and anyone with a passing knowledge of the comic strip would have seen Stallone's movie got just about everything wrong. Therefore, this is not a remake anymore than Christopher Nolan 'remade' Batman.
Saw DREDD at San Diego Comic Con. They got everything right. The tone, the violence, the humor. It's everything I wanted from a Dredd movie. Budget shortcomings show up a little here and there but nothing that would rip you out of the movie.
To be honest, the thing I loved most about it was it feels like it was made in the 70's right down to the design of the city. If you try to think where they would have gone without the likes of Blade Runner, Fifth Element to influence modern production design, this is what you would have got. That whole look's been done to death and would have been far too obvious for this.
VERY bleak, depressing vision of the future and to be honest, sells the idea of why the Judges are needed much more effectively than the comics ever did. There's a dangerous atmosphere off the movie. Reminded me of Deliverance. Always something poisonous bubbling under what you're watching.
If there was a sub-genre of movies this would belong to, it would be Mad Max, Escape From New York, Magnum Force. Tough, harsh, streamlined movies with no fat and simple plots. No sugary character arcs or morals. There's huge themes to be taken from the movie in regards to where our society is potentially going and the role of the people assigned to safeguard us but the movie's not going to waste the time pointing that out to you if you're not interested in that kinda stuff.
The casting elevates the material. Urban's absolutely perfect as Dredd but it's Thirlby as Anderson who raises the whole thing up from what would have been a disaster with the wrong actress. Tough role and she pulls it off like a champion.
Glad they went with the R-rated approach. Sets it apart from the usual family-friendly lowest-common-denominator bilge. Hope it does well enough for a sequel, obviously, but even if it's just stand-alone I'm happy. It's been made by people who worship the material it's based on and that's all you can ask for in the end.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.
