I really enjoyed this film. Karl Urban is great as Dredd. It's a fun movie with good action and story and some great 3D shots. Huge improvement over the Stallone movie. If you're an action movie fan and especially if you're a Dredd fan, then go see it.
Pros well paced, great story, violence not toned down, 3d
Cons may not be a sequel?
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Although Karl Urban looks a lot like Stallone under the Dredd helmet, his version of the character is without the 90's kitch or tongue in cheek catch phrases. Instead, this is a single day in the life of a single minded Judge who is also jury and most notably executioner. The story takes place in the megacity in the dark and grim far future in a single megatower apartment building. Dredd and his psychic trainee Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) are locked inside by the drug lord in a multistory battle to the death. The twist here is Anderson and her ability to get into someone's head. She's quite the scene stealer.
Although it starts off slowly, it accelerates into a non-stop action adventure film pumped up with enough adrenaline and testosterone to make Stallone jealous. Be aware, its very graphically violent and the effective 3D only makes it more so.
No, its not a classic, but it is far truer to the Judge Dredd stories than Stallone's was. If you're a fan of the series, you'll enjoy this.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

As faithful a rendition as can be. I read the 2000 AD comics when they first hit the newsagents and had it delivered with my Beano and Dandy. I marvelled at the sinister diversity that was Mega City One and the range and complexity of characters depicted. Dredd cut through all the chaff, dispensing Justice in an aloof, cold, severe and supremely efficient manner. I always felt a pang of fear, even empathy, for the poor misguided perps who thought they could carry out their unlawful actions un-judged.... fools! Forget the other film. Dredd is dread, he is here, Mega City One is here, prepare to be judged.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, faithful rendition of the comic, great style
Cons not long enough
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I did not know what to expect walking into this movie, but I did think it would be a much better movie. Much more could have been done with the plot, the lines and the cast, especially given the excellent performances by Lena Headey and Olivia Thirlby.
Pros well paced
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I went to this movie not expecting a great deal. You know what you're gonna get with a film like this. However, there is more to this movie than the trailer suggests. Especially the look of the film and the incredible visual effects. I really enjoyed this film. I guess the highest praise I can give is that it makes me want to see more of what goes on in MegaCity 1, if this is just a day in life of Judge Dredd!
Pros great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

“Dredd 3D” is one of the best sci-fi actioners I’ve seen this side of the millennium. Karl Urban plays Judge Dredd, a ruff n’ tuff cop in a violent future where his employer, The Hall of Justice, dispatches judges to extract justice on the lawbreakers of Mega City One, a sprawling wasteland of concrete and crime from Boston to the Capitol. These judges have been given the power of judge, jury, and executioner, so you don’t cross them. On the day of the film, Dredd takes up a rookie cop (Olivia Thirlby) to train in the ways of 20xx law enforcement. As a bonus, she’s a psychic, which comes in handy in quite a few situations, of course. They answer a homicide call at a 200-story futuristic project, where the crime boss Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) has taken complete control. Afraid that the cops will edge in on her drug business (Slo-Mo, which makes the brain fell as if it’s experiencing life at 1% normal speed – this allows for some absolutely amazing sequences of slow-motion photography and violence), she hacks the building and locks them in, with one ultimatum over the loudspeaker: The doors won’t open til the cops are dead. And that’s the rest of the movie, a wonderfully action-packed wallop of stylistic violence and gore that understands it’s a high-end B-movie and revels in it. The dialogue is so gruff and packed with machismo that you’re guaranteed to grow chest hair by the film’s end. What pulls this film up to a higher notch is the care given to the look and gadgets of the players. The judges’ armor is incredibly intimidating, and their guns are a marvel that never stops surprising. The violence is intense and in-your-face (literally, if you see it in 3D, which I fully recommend, surprisingly), and the final result is a film that is so much fun you’ll forget that it doesn’t mean much when it’s over.
