What film did you watch last night?

[Judgeneo]

Cockneys vs Zombies.

Very funny, watched it with the GF who used mandarin subtitles and still found it funny. Would definitely recommend

Now you see me 7/10

Not a bad movie at all, and a nice change from what I've been seeing usually!

I personally quite like the Stallone version, but there again I've never particularly bothered with the Dredd mythology (or taken any notice of it at all). As an action film, it's entertaining, and in true Stallone fashion, it's got some nice cheesy one liners in

 

[Uncle Petey]

'95 Dredd?

If you don't know the mythology, it's a fairly entertaining (and incredibly camp) flick.

If you do know the mythology, you'd be booing like me and the rest of the 2000AD nerds did at the cinema

It has it's plus points (City design/Angel gang/Better story), but as far as an accurate portrayal of the title character goes... No.

The new film has a much lower budget and a relatively poor/weak story, but it does nail the character of Dredd which is more important to fans like me.

Look at it as just another day in the life of the toughest judge in the big Meg, not a 'Tom Cruise saves the city' style extravaganza.

The Hangover... not really my cup of tea, but it was pretty funny at times, so 7/10.

Road House - 5/10
Fighting scenes were awful but not the worst film I have seen recently

I saw this as a teenager.
At the time I gave it 9/10.
If I saw it now, as a 30-something, I think I'd give it less.

I would say that it [Dredd] has a much simpler story ... NOT weak story.
Put simply, 2 judges go into a huge building (city).
The building gets locked down - no one goes. No one goes out.
The bad guys are out to kill them.
They have to survive the night and get reinforcements, to get the building re-opened.

Its basically Die Hard.

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

The Prestige. Cracking movie by Nolan, cast do a great job especially Jackman, and the twist even though you see it coming a mile off is still brilliant.

9/10

Yeah, pretty much.

I was happy with it being a day in the life rather than a Judgement Day type epic, although that'd make for an awesome trilogy given the budget.

The Shining. Very good, 8/10.

 

[Swizz]

Taxi (1998) 7/10. A good fun chase off, with plenty of fast packed action (Subbed)

one of worst films i ever seen

i prefer the stallone version myself and actually think he makes a great dredd.

Danny Boyle's Trance

Solid enough I guess, 8/10

I hated the new DREDD, All the characters were loathsome and the 3D terrible

 

[kaptainmarc]

watched 'Year one' again for a nice easy watch with a few laughs thrown in

 

[inogen]

Anyone who thinks Stallone's Dredd is better than the recent film should be serving time in the isocubes.

Welcome to Mega City 1

I hated the new DREDD, All the characters were loathsome and the 3D terrible

I'm genuinely shocked at that comment, for me Dredd stands up as one of the best technical examples of 3D done correctly, it's up there with Avatar and Prometheus for visuals.

 

[rotters]

Mud, very very good, feel good, not so good movie about growing up and becoming a man, coincidentally how not to deal with women hehe. Favourite line "come on hard on" which I genuinely chuckled too.

8.5/10

 

[Kishywish]

O Brother Where Art Thou - 8/10

Classic Coen Brothers film - it was a genuine joy to watch George Clooney and his gang gurn their way across the screen.
