This was one of the worst remakes I have ever seen. It was a terrible attempt at a kinder, gentler, more pc Judge Dredd who, by the way, is not really the main hero of the movie. The main hero is the softer, psychic female rookie who wants to "make a difference" by ignoring the law and giving out her own brand of social justice.
Cons bad acting, slow
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I went into this movie wondering whether I would be wasting my money on another cheesey remake of a 90's flick. I can say I spent my money well. This is a very good movie. I have never read the comics, so I can't say whether this movie follows them or not. It is, however, a very dark, gritty, and violent movie. *** Folks that have an adversion to blood and gore should NOT go to see this movie! ***
Karl Urban is great in the role as Dredd. Viewers can expect none of the hokey dialog that you see in the 1995 "Judge Dredd" with Sly Stallone. There are a couple of slow spots in the movie, but the action scenes more than make up for these.
The 3D effects are very good (some are quite spectacular) but not "overdone". Those of you who see the movie in 2D will miss out on some really cool effects, but overall won't miss out on a very good movie.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, nice 3d effects
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I never read the comics but heard this was supposed to be more like them than the first movie with Sly. It was good, but very slow in several parts.
Pros great actors
Cons slow

Dredd, 1.5 hrs of violent comic action, must see for fans of the comics. However, a typical movie goer will easily be turned off by the simple story, and lack of character depth. If I did not know the character Judge Dredd, I would probably consider this an all around bad movie.
Pros well paced, great actors, dredd never removes his helmet
Cons not for non action or comic fans
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This, finally, is the Dredd movie comic book readers have been anticipating, it's savage, beautiful and loads of fun. "Dredd 3D" may present a dreary vision of the future, but it offers a promising encapsulation of the modern action movie. Not the fastest-moving action movie you'll see, but it remains true to the comics thanks to Karl Urban's spot-on portrayal of Dredd. With its dark characters and the grim setting, the film masterfully creates a compelling, nightmarish atmosphere. A must see.
Pros great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie was epic! It was non-stop action from beginning to end. As soon as it starts it doesn't let up in it's brutality. It shows a bleak world and an even bleaker set of rules for the inhabitants. Dredd knows what it is and it's an unrelenting hard core action movie. It doesn't try to be anything else. If you dig old school action, then this is your flick!
Pros well paced, 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.
