I love the Movie.

It's not a masterpiece, but it certainly is underrated, especially versus Judge Dredd. He only took ammo off his fellow judges once (which undermines his running out of ammo scenes).

I can't agree that the third act is great. Or maybe by that point, the movie had already been too long, and I just couldn't get into it anymore, but I doubt it. These movies really have no reason to be longer than two hours especially when there is so little plot involved. I just don't get this trend of movies being longer than they should be. I say that as someone who has Lawrence of Arabia as one of his favorite movies. John Wick being in Japan could have been cut completely without anything really being lost, for example. Also, did no one really notice how many elements from John Wick 3 were kind of reused in Chapter 4??? Having Laurence Fishburne in the movie was a waste of money if you ask me because what is his character really doing here that couldn't have been resolved otherwise? There is more, but this comment is already long enough. The movie isn't bad, but for the most part, it felt just more of the same for me, and there are plenty of movies that already do that. However, I will always be grateful that the franchise revived well shot and choreographed action scenes.

One of my favorite Cyberpunk movie

Dredd was a masterpiece. Sure, it took some from the other successful movies of that time (raid!), but it did that with it's own flavor, which was pretty freakin awesome.

It’s absolutely extraordinary that the alternative world of Judge Dredd has not been embraced by the mandarins of the Film/Movie world by now. I for one am totally bored by the marvel and dc universes, they’re finite and have had their day in the sun. Time now for the darkness of Mega City ONE and Joe Dredd, what a fertile ground for the mandarins in my humble opinion.

I cant actually believe Dredd never took off because i dont know a single person that does not like this movie. Its perfect in every way for a Judge Dredd story. I cant believe how much it bombed.

Can't wait for a review like this on Hardcore Henry

This was a great remake of Dredd, it defo should have had more sequels shame that let's hope there will be another one, just let Urban reprise his role as Dredd.

No matter how hellish MaMa's life may have been, that does not excuse her self centered evil acts. And no matter how brutal and uncompromising Dredd may be towards criminals, he would never kill an innocent bystander. One might call them opposite sides of the same coin.

I love this movie.

When I was a kid, I loved the -95 Stallone version the first time, and I liked it (remember I was a kid). When I saw the 2012, I didn't really appreciate it, because it was so different from the first version I saw. I watched both of the films last week, and maaaan has my taste for movies changed. Dredd really had a "Show, Dont tell" style which I really liked. Dredd being a 2D character just moving the plot forward, and Anderson being the actual character that has her "heroes journey". I think the 2010:ish movies got sidelined by the emergence of marvel movies, that diluted the audiences interest in anything that didn't have a huge story behind them.

11:44 Slow mo was so cleverly named and used along the movie. Quite an interesting gimmick, making her death quite ironic.

11:33 Lana's character is such a memorable antagonist. A favorite.

9:49 Acting behind a mask or a helmet requires much more technique, kudos to Karl, he is quite great always.

9:49 Stallone's DREDD was ok, yet it's biggest sin was taking the helmet off. Karl never takes it off, following the lore.

9:15 Yes, there is no arc with DREDD, only a sutil one. His convictions are set in stone, and that is part of his virtues, yet in the end he was more open towards the rookie's talents.

Super underestimated movie. Quite great. At least is has a pretty substantial cult following.

The reason for the poor box office was the residual effect of the Stallone film. Which was a total disappointment for Dredd fans, and gained no new fans. I believe that if they had followed up a few years later, they would have had a huge hit. Wasn’t there some rights issues that put it on ice?

What a film it’s disgusting no dredd 2 and Carl urban shit hot smashed it!

Win winner 🐓🍛

Karl Urban's jawline is just made to frown and scowl and shit like that. Honestly, better fit than Stallone when the helmet is on.

What a clickbait thumbnail thought you would explain why it had no substance

No one has ever underrated this movie. It’s been a classic since it was released.

16:55 dang, you could have used the only great line in Street Fighter

This movie which I did not see in the movie theaters due to the poor advertisement, when it came out. It's up there with the likes of Mad Max and the Road Warrior! They need to make a sequel ASAP!

Dredd is good. But it is derrivatice and the source is better. Check out The Raid. It's the Indonesian inspiration for the plot and it is AWESOME!

For me Karl Urban is Joseph Dredd as much as Robert Pattinson is Bruce Wayne. The only two real superheroes, because they have no superpowers...

And PSI judge Anderson was a good enough character to have her own comic series. Chief Judge Dredd would be proud.

I have a vivid memory of going to see it at the cinema in 3D with my dad; who is a cinephile and upon leaving he commented that he had greatly appreciated the film and that it would eventually become a cult classic. No sooner said than done; 12 years later is a great movie. Karl Urban always expressed interest in making a sequel; Now that he has positioned himself with “The Boys” he should persuade his acquaintances to make a sequel to this underrated gem.

We want dredd 2

In a pre-shooting version of the script (with the title "Peach Trees"), Ma-Ma is obese but it's good they changed her to the what she's in the finished movie. Less stereotypical villainy and more of someone consumed by resentment from brutality and privation.

Some of the greatest one liners in history in that movie. I love the end, when his boss comes, and she asks him what happened, and after all they've been through, he says _"perps were ... uncooperative."_ Legendary understatement...

" I M THE LAWH"

I saw the preview for "civil war" coming out this spring and had zero interest in watching the thing. I figured it would be a simple piece of political division propaganda in an election year..... Then I found out Alex Garland made it. Dredd was so good I have to watch this movie. Don't betray us Alex!

Aaah, I do think Dredd changes, near the beginning he makes a remark that Anderson failed the aptitude test and a fail is a fail (can't remember the exact quote) by the end, she loses her lawgiver (an auto fail) let's a "accomplice" go (all be it a forced one) and still passes Anderson. He doesn't change much but there is sooo progression there...

Aaah, I do believe Dredd does change, it's very clear at the beginning that he believes in the grey word of law "

#1. Dredd is one of my favorite movies. It absolutely was and still is a masterpiece. #2. I don't laugh out loud much anymore but when i heard "He needs some milk!" ... I fuckin lost it.

100% agree

Very good review

I wish it hadn’t been released at the height of Hollywood’s obsession with the “latest” version of 3D filming techniques. Huge part of the budget and marketing was totally wasted on this, especially as it was an r rated film! If they hadn’t have done that it would’ve been a reasonably financially successful film and might have convinced the suits to do a sequel!

Dredd's problem is really 007's. No matter what happens in the story, you already know that the character isn't going to die. If you're not going to be surprised, why read or watch it? Which is very different from real life, because in it you are surprised all the time.

I wish I could have watched it twice.

I think the summary is pretty fair. Chapter 2 is still the high point for me, but Chapter 4 closed out the franchise in a satisfying way.

One of the obvious things the writing nails is balancing the two contrasting characters without favouring one to the detriment of the other. It lets Dredd be all chest-out masculine without being dumb, while Anderson is the more sensitive, more feminine character without being helpless, and in fact shows she is an absolute badass who earns the respect of Dredd. Neither character needs to trample the other to be elevated. Dredd's experience is coupled with cynicism. Anderson's inexperience comes with a more nuanced world view. Karl Urban is one my favourite actors, he's done so many roles through his career and he always does an outstanding job.

It was a legitimately good movie... better than the modern marvel garbage IMHO.

I just subscribed to your channel after seeing you on open bar. I enjoyed your insights and appreciation for Dredd. Such an under appreciated movie. However, you're the same age as my son which makes me feel old.

There's something that I need to tell as a person who was outcasted in school: bullies (especially nowdays) don't outcast you because "you're different". I was born in Italy and I am indeed white as all Italians and yet I was outcasted by my peers (and some of them where migrants from east Europe, Asia, Africa or South America btw), why? Because I was a weirdo to them (I often talked to myself because I often though with loud voice). Ed Edd n Eddy made a perfect rapresentation on outcasting, most of the times is not about "looking different" but simply for being a "weirdo" or a "socially akward" person.
