best udnerrated film of the year! ^^

was it any good?

If you ever read and enjoyed Judge Dredd in 2000AD, then you would enjoy this movie. Can't wait to buy it.

also @nerdygeek: your profile pic is ridiculous hahaha I cant stop laughing at that! Geeeez that guy loves him some watermelon

If any movie deserves a sequel it's DREDD

I liked this better than the avengers and batman combined. Too bad there won't be a sequel unless the film does mind blowing blueray/dvd sales :(

BEST 2012 CBM .....

the movie would have been great,10-15 years ago. It was just another throwback action movie, which i usually dig, but this one wasn't very exciting or fun

hahaha dion, our first disagreement, idk man to me it got pretty draggy at times. I usually love these types of flicks but this one didn't do much for me besides some cool kills. Expendables 2 was fun, was it a great movie? no but it was a fun throwback. Cant wait for the new mad max!

@darkbeefstakes

Cinematography looked cheap? Do you even know what cinematography [frick]ing means?

The movie had great picture frames and lots of interesting and artistic shots set with great composition - even better than The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises in my honest opinion. The acting was not as good as it could have been but Karl Urban topped everything with his Dredd attitude even if it was slightly overacted.

This movie deserved better. I am hoping to see a sequel - even if the Box Office numbers are ridiculously low.

Looking forward to seeing this...

I Hope they have the balls to make a second one...

Everyone needs to support this film !!!

COmparing this film with raid redemption is completely accurate not because the settign is the same ( which it is not considering one is in the future?) but because the story is identical ( a drug dealer who runs a big apartment building sends a bunch of henchmen to kill the invading "cops". The cops then fight the henchmen until the end of the movie where they kill the lead dealer person. Identical.

People telling me my opinion is irrelevant because of my avatar, while there avatar clearly displays bias for the movie they are commenting on is the same premise [frick] tard.

This film was simple, and repetitive. I was looking forward to it. I watched it and loved the beginning, and when the apartment went into lock down I was pumped to wach dredd (who was a complete bad ass throught the film) kick ass. And it was cool. The irst few set pieces were creative. But then they ran out of ideas. The machine gun part was cool, then turned silly pretty quick. The reading minds part was cool, although th eediting and cinematography was cheap (over lit, poor choice of lens (ie they were not shooting at the optimal range hence the tons of grain that I am betting was not an "artistic choice" You wanna argue about cinematography watch "The road to perdition" that is great cinematography Dredd looked cheap hell DIstrict 9 had a lower budget and still looked better than dredd and they shot that film with [frick]ing cheap sony camcorders, that also includes 28 days later which was shot on cheap panasonic dv cam and looked tons better) Baclk to the psychic, This scene also completely screwed any scenes later involving the psychic because it made no sense, she could just jump into anybody's mind. I liked the movie, but it was far from great.

About people tellign me i am wrogn for saying this movie is logically inconsistent while I have an avatar of Chris Nolan, you people are the most ignorant simple minded short attention span sob's. You say that because of one movie the guy made, a movie that people scrutinize too much anyway. The man wrote a film backwards, wrote about dreams within dreams, and did it all with some of the tightest plot driven story telling ever. As for the dark knight rise whther you believe the film has a ton of "plot holes" or not. The film is not logicaly inconsistent, its just a matter of the logic of the charcters themselves begin flawed. Sure they could have detonated the bomb, but the characters DO explain why they do not, whether there excuse for not detonating the bomb is lazy writing or just poor logic on part of the CHARCTERS THEMSELVES is besides the point. BAnes revolution was just a ploy to inspire gotham in order to inspire despair ( as explained by Bane in the pit) WHther his plan makes sense to a logical thinking person does not matter as long as it makes to the character since it is the character who is implementing the plan. The dark knight rise is never repetitive, not one scene in the film is the same or even similar to the one before it.

But you short sighted folk have made up your minds, and no argument will ever sway you. But, I liked dredd, I thought dark knihgt rises was great. I think i thoroughly explained why I THINK dredd is just mediocre. If you cannot except that then so be it, but stop making ignorant comments so I dont get all riled up and have to write another fUAKing essay.

A new cult classic, this generations The Crow.

Also, to simply compare Dredd to The Raid just shows a serious lack of film knowledge. Both movies owe a debt to John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13, which itself was an urbanized take on Rio Bravo. Hollywood recycles the same old plots, always has, always will. Hell, The Avengers was The Dirty Dozen of superhero flicks, and The Dark Knight Rises was Escape From New York. There is no such thing as an original idea in Hollywood. ROBOCOP, as well as Mad Max were both themselves ripoffs of Judge Dredd, and both went on to become classics in their own right.

But i am comparing dredd to the raid, it does not display lack of film knowledge. It should not matter what other films have that same plot. I feel Dredd and Raid are a fair comparison, being they both were released in the same year and are similar in plot. So, I compared them. The same way people compare avengers to tdkr despite them being completely different and only basing the comparison on the fact they were released the same year and are both comic book related.

Not to mention escape form new yokr is kind of a stretch when comparing it to tdkr. Id say tdkr is mroe like last samurai than escape form new york. And the avengers was more like the untouchables.

The Raid could just as easily be compared to Die Hard too, which it was when it came out. This is nothing new in Hollywood. For every Die Hard there is a Speed, for every Rambo a Commando. Armageddon/Deep Impact, Point Break/The Fast and the Furious etc...
