Dredd trailer

I was more entertained by the faithful adaptation of the new one. That, and no Rob effin Schneider ;)

Karl Urban pulling authentic *old skool Ezquerra* Dredd faces was priceless. Tempted to post a few screencaps with comparisons to original artwork :D

got to say urban did well, and shame rob wasn't in it as a criminal :D
 
I watched this the other night and loved it! Karl Urban was awesome as Dredd. Have never read the comics but know of them and all the basics to the character/story etc.

I still love Stallone's film though, might not follow the comic story etc. but as a film itself, it is entertaining and good IMO

Also you can't beat his "I AM THE LAW!" :p


:D
 
I watched this today. I had pretty high expectations based on the internet buzz, and my brother's recommendation, but I thought it was very poor. I didn't like the overused slo-mo sequences or his sidekick's powers. The villain hardly had any dialogue and seemed to mumble what she had. The sets were pretty poor (due to the budget I suppose) - they reminded me of Star Trek : Deep Space 9 sets. District 9 shows what's really possible on an even lower budget.

Karl Urban was alright though.

Yeah, I read a review that said there's a noticeable drop in image quality on the 2d version. The 3d blu-ray looks great apparently...

I'm with -Ad- on the 'still not buying a 3d telly' though :p

Spent too much on my old plasma, plus nothing has bettered the PQ yet as most tvs these days care more about thiness to play with yourself over than PQ :D
 
Watched this in 3D yesterday :cool:. Enjoyed it! Although I have always enjoyed and liked the Stallone film (mainly because that Robot thing is awesome) and I enjoyed this very much. It did feel very much like the Raid, in structure but it was very enjoyable none the less.
 
I watched this a little while back.

For what it's worth I know nothing about the Dredd universe but much prefer the new one over the original with Stallone.

7/10 for me. I agree with DiCe! though, although the effect was cool it was well over used.
 
The other thing that put me off this was that their prisoner was the actor who played the head gangster in The Wire. Every time I saw him I just thought of him being the same character as in The Wire so it broke the immersion.

I want to check out The Raid now, as many people said it was similar.

Hammerstein I presume?
He's got nothing to do with Dredd. They just put him in there for the 2000AD crowd :D
Great job on the build/animatronics though.

This is where he belongs.

BARKSDALE!

The Raid is brilliant, I thought it was one of the better films I saw last year, brutal and violent and just brilliant :cool:.

I think so, I don't have a clue :p! He looked amazing though and I loved the look of him / watching him move in the film.

Ah yeah that's him. I could only remember the name of Idris Elba's character, Stringer Bell. I even went on IMDB now to try find the name of the Dredd actor's character but I couldn't find him in the cast.
 
Actually, you may be right.
If memory serves, the ABC warriors were around for a while before the whole Nemesis/Torquemada thing (which is set in the far future of the same universe as Dredd I think) and served as battle droids in various wars.
There just might have been a story line that crossed over somewhere...

EDIT: Quote from wiki.

Hammerstein in Judge Dredd

In 1995, Pat Mills wrote the Judge Dredd story Hammerstein[11] which placed the eponymous robot into Dredd's world.

In this story, Hammerstein rejoined the American army after the Mars mission, serving under General Blood 'n' Guts in President Robert L. Booth's robot armies. Following the great Atomic Wars of 2070, Hammerstein fought in The Battle of Armageddon against the Mega City Judges. Following the robot's defeat, Hammerstein was trapped under the Cursed Earth for decades before emerging, whereupon he faced off against Judge Dredd. Realizing the war was over and the Judges were no longer his enemy, Hammerstein became unsure of his purpose.

However, the subsequent story ABC Warriors: The Volgan War removes this story from continuity by having the original war against the Volgans taking place in 2083,[12] 13 years after the Atomic Wars in Judge Dredd.

Watched it in 2D twice this week. Really enjoyed it. Going to watch it again but in 3D when my 3D glasses turn up. :D

The DTS-MA is also very good. Makes use of the surround speakers more than a lot of films which is good in my opinion.
