😝JUDGE DREDD was such a freaking BADASS!!! Holy cow this movie was packed with so much action! The slow motion visuals were some of the coolest shots I've ever seen in an action movie. I feel like this movie is severely underrated, I was shocked to read that it tanked in the box office because I thought it was really great. Karl Urban, Lena Headey, Olivia Thirlby, Domhnall Gleeson, Wood Harris...wonderful performances all around. Big thank you to everyone in the community for recommending this gem, really enjoyed it🤩
Im still holding on to the hope that Karl Urban will get to reprise this role.
He's expressed interest in wanting to return as Dredd. It would be awesome if he does.
I wish they made a sequel
Awesome movie
@@awakeatnight7668 According to Giant Freakin Robot, Dredd 2 w/ Karl Urban is currently in development. Expected release date sometime in either 2024 or 2025.
In an era where every movie gets a sequel, prequel or spin off, Dredd is the one movie that genuinely DESERVED a sequel but never got one ☹️
And Carl has said he totally up for playing Dredd again.
There's talk of a spin off TV show
@@davidjones272 I hope so, I really do!
Because when it was in theatres, people decided to go see a "hangover" film for the third time in a row... :(
The reason why Dredd didn't get a sequel is because the producers, who didn't have much faith in the movie, sold the distribution rights to local companies in every nation that it played in. At this point, technically, each of those companies still hold the distribution rights in their own country. Thus making it impossible for the Producers to get the global level of profit they get from investing in other properties.
Also, that final scene. "What happened in there Dredd?" "Drug bust " - really nails that this entire situation was nothing out of the ordinary for Dredd... just another day at the office!
Perps were... uncooperative.
You can tell it's a normal day for him imo was when they show up for a murder and they get sealed in and Anderson looks to dredd And he just tells her she's still under assessment so make a call.
Yeah, what a routine drug bust looks like in Mega City One.
"Perps were uncooperative" LOLOLOLOLOLOL
And despite the bullet wound, he just leaves to resume his shift. Bullet wound be damned.
Part of the comic book lore is that he never was seen without his helmet. And that frowning scowl with a jutted out chin is an iconic part of his features, regardless of whichever artist draws him. Karl urban pulls it off perfectly!
That was one of the MANY complaints about the Sylvester Stallone version ... he felt that he needed to be "seen" & recognized on screen - and thus he was without his helmet for 90% of the movie
Sylvester Stallone had the right look...when he kept the helmet on. Which wasn't very long. His ego was too large for it.
IIRC, Urban was adamant about not taking the helmet off.
@@PaulGuy Karl Urban is reportedly a fan of the comics and worked hard to portray Dredd as accurately as possible. Sadly there isn't going to be a sequel due to bad timing (the film came out too close to a similar film and it hurt this film at the box office.)
good comment
Robocop was actually inspired by Judge Dredd comics. In the behind the scenes content on my old Robocop DVD, they reference Judge Dredd and even show an early Robocop design that had Dredd's helmet instead of Robocop's. And in turn, Dredd was heavily inspired by Dirty Harry.
I loved how Dredd referenced Robocop in his, "20 seconds to comply", ultimatum. It went around full circle.
@@padmelotus Yeah, that was cool.
actually Robocop started as dredd movie, but there was an issue through production with the rights... so they repurposed it as Robocop.
It was definitely up Paul Verhoven's alley.
@@DamienBlade Always thought he'd have been perfect to helm an adaptation of anything from 2000AD comics. His scifi films had the very same style as the comics. Ultra violence and satire.
Just before the initial bust, Dredd asked Anderson if she was ready then stated "You don't look ready" to her reply. As they were getting ready to confront Ma-Ma, he asks her again but this time confirms her reply with "You look ready". Anderson's experiences in Peach Trees forged her in to one badass Judge.
A totally underrated movie that deserved at least one sequel. Another excellent reaction LL so glad you liked this :)
I love that Karl Urban is pretty open to doing a sequel even after all this time
@@S_047 Good news, last December it was revealed that a sequel is in the works.
Saw this movie three times in theatres... "You look ready" ALWAYS gives me chills!
Yes! That is my absolute fav line of the entire movie. Anderson goes from borderline fail (because she has empathy) to pass (because she can still do the job better than most). Dredd was so sure that there was no room for error. Yet he passes her, in the end. It turns out that the system was at fault. Something which, to Dredd, is almost inconceivable. You'd think he'd have learned his lesson after the whole Judge Cal(igula) plotline: but that's toxic masculinity for ya.
This was the Judge Dredd movie we were all waiting for. True to the comic, Dredd never takes off the helmet and never smiles. Karl Urban is always great and I really wish there had been a sequel.
If Dredd ever smiled I'd be convinced he'd been compromised by some drug or mind control.
I would say that Dredd himself is true to the comic, but everything else is mostly not.
The world surrounding Judge Dredd in the comics is certainly violent & crime-ridden, but it is at the same time very surreal & wacky & colorful. Pure grim-dark Dredd stories are pretty rare.
Anderson is usually humorous & playfully snarky, along with being an extremely capable judge. The contrast is part of why they make such a good team. Dredd respects her and gets along with her, but she does tease him quite a bit.
This is a very fine movie, but it is not overall super-faithful to the comics in its world-building.
You could actually make an argument that putting this serious Dredd into the world of the Stallone-movie would be a pretty accurate adaptation. It might or might not be a better movie than this one, which is very good, but it would arguably be more accurate.
Just a thought. :)
I think we will get a sequel eventually
Also I think dredd will finally smile when he dies
@@jakehawke8196 well this being the beginning of andersons time as judge, it is fitting that the relationship is not yet that far....
This is the most underrated movie of the 21st Century!!!!
No.
Agreed, this movie should have been huge, instead the studio that distributed it decided to dump it like garbage
@@deckzone3000yes
Not only is the movie underrated but so is Karl Urban. He should be a huge action star.
@@reconsoldier135 Nobody wanted to see it. It was very 🤷♂️ eh
The interesting thing is that while Dredd is portrayed as a heartless, unbending avatar of The Law, he's really not. The vagrant they come across when they enter Peachtree, he simply tells to leave, instead of insisting on judging him at the moment. And the two kids that try and capture him, he goes out of his way to not harm, even though they directly threatened him. It makes him a deeper character than just a walking law book with a gun.
And for passing Anderson instead of failing her for losing her Lawgiver. I think what made his decision was the scene when she let the hacker leave instead of passing judgement. She gave him crucial information about the hacker in saying he was actually another victim instead of a criminal.
Of course, in the comics, Anderson becomes head of Psi-Division in the Justice Department, the branch of Judges that are psychic like her. She's also instrumental in containing the Dark Judges in their true spirit forms.
@@AdderTude god i want Dark Judges movie, especially if they use Kraken
He accepts the Medic's refusal to help.
He gives MaMa a dose of SloMo at her sentecing/execution, which is very unlawlike. On the one hand it's punishment, on the other hand it is a gift.
Yeah Dredd like to pretend his lawful neutral but heäs really lawful good.
Fun Fact: The co-writer of RoboCop, Edward Neumeier, began writing his screenplay as a Judge Dredd movie, but could not secure the rights from the owners. So, he changed his character into a cyborg and RoboCop was born! The owners of Judge Dredd were very upset when RoboCop came out and was a big hit, but there was nothing they could legally do because the story was very different and only inspired by Dredd.
Karl Urban's frown is Weapons Grade in this movie. I didn't know a man could frown so deep, and I'm here for it.
Such a shame we never got more of these characters in sequels or the TV show that never seemed to get off the ground.
"A Weapon's Grade frown" 🤯🤯 I'm TOTALLY stealing that one! ❤
@@TheDylls It's not stolen if it's freely given. Go for it
@@TheLanceUppercut ❤️
Loved him as Eomer in the Lord Of The Rings movies
Loved him as McCoy in the Star Trek movies and absolutely Loved him as Dredd... He seriously needs more movies to star in!
So glad you did this one, it's easily my favourite comic book movie, and in my overall top 10. It's such a shame it didn't perform in the cinemas, it really deserves a sequel.
Still hoping too. Pretty much any time the movie is so much as mentioned, Karl Urban volunteers that he'd love to make a sequel, even if the interviewer didn't ask the question. Considering how much his star has risen since 2012 it's so nice to see him still holding out hope and fanboiing over it. :D
Saw it in theaters in 3D. It had the best 3D effects I've ever seen that bath scene had the whole theater saying 'Woahhhhh'. It was a group tripping in unison. Very cool. Best depiction of Judge Dredd yet, Urban nailed it.
The reason why the 3D worked in Dredd was they made sure to brighten it up as 3D effects made everything darker than normal.
Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation) wrote three Dredd movies. The second would have been in the Cursed Earth featuring the Angel Gang, and the third was planned to be a big budget Dark Judges movie.
Lauren - if you want to read Dredd I'd recommend The Apocalypse War, The Dark Judges and Anderson PSI files vol 1to get you started.
If you love that then Halo Jones, Rogue Trooper, Strontium Dog and Nemesis the Warlock are all brilliant from the same stable.
And Lauren... it's time you watched The Raid 1&2 !
I'd like to throw Zenith, Slaine and Bad Company into the 2000ad recommendation list. I'd love to see Judge Death on the big screen, closest thing I've seen was "The Mouth of Sauron" in the extended Return of the King cut.
Damn that's the perfect selection, or with Judge Cal thrown in there at some point. Would have loved to see that.
Really do adore this film. Like many people have said this film is based on the Judge Dredd comics. The character of Dredd first appeared in 2000 AD 1977, which is a British weekly anthology comic following different characters set within a shared universe known as 2000 AD. He was younger and much smaller in his first appearance, one amazing detail is Dredd ages in real time with the comic books so over time he got older and older until now he's an old man. Funny that you mentioned like Robocop has the film was heavily inspired by Dredd, The Delta City model from Robocop 1 looked like Mega City One from the comics. Robocop for me does a better job at highlighting the Satire of the 2000AD but this film is still amazing.
Most important aspect is that they nailed the characters unlike the Judge Dredd film featuring Sly where Dredd removed his helmet revealing his face like 10 minutes into the film. Dredd is well known for never revealing his face and the times he does remove his helmet his face is 90% in darkness so we don't see it. But I will say that the 1990s Judge Dredd film does a much better job at transferring the visuals of the comic to live action from it's amazing Mega City One to the vehicle designs and a certain Robot it nailed the look of the universe while Dredd 2012 lacked in this department for Budget reasons of course focusing on a smaller scale which worked out in the end.
I like the gritty tone of this but would love to see more of the wacky side of the 2000AD universe, similar in tone to the Fallout games or The Boy it's Dark yet filled with Satire and fun wacky characters along with some really cool places like Texas City filled with massive statues of Cowboys and buildings with Cowboy hats. They could 100% transfer to look of the comics over into a film today with a good budget, Star Wars has such a unique look and feel and it still holds up in 2022 in shows like Andor without looking silly. Shows like Peacemaker and The Boys are the perfect style tone for a Dredd show.
I think when people say this film is more faithful to the original material I think they're referring to the characters but not the visuals or the world etc. For me 1990s Judge Dredd came closer in these areas while Dredd was more true in terms of characters, combined these two together and we'll have one amazing Dredd show or film. It's very Tim Burton Batman vs Nolan's Batman one is more comic book inspired while the other tries it's best to be grounded and that's kind of how I feel about Dredd just whatever style you prefer.
Well to be fair, they are both based on different comic eras as well as far as I know. The 90s Dredd had a comic book, big budget look sure and does resemble a lot of the Dredd world, but just wasn't there apart from that.
This film nails the feel and look of some of the older comics, not perfect for budget reasons but more than I think you are giving credit for, and nails the character.
Oh damn! You talk about one of the coolest, most underrated, most under appreciated action movies EVER! I love this movie. It is miles above the Stallone version. I keep hoping against hope that the planned series “Mega City 1” will be made. Karl Urban has said that he would reprise the role of Dredd. Thanks you for reaction Lauren.
theres so much character progression that is so subtle that a lot of people miss it
between Dredd's overall opening up to Anderson over time showing he is not just supervising her but begins to care for her and trusts her judgement calls.
Anderson being so nervous she couldn't make any decisions unless it was demanded of her developing into her offering to interrogate their prisoner to straight up executing the Dirty judge she came across without hesitation.
and my personal favorite is the 2 "are you ready?" lines.
the first being her responding in the verbal to which he immediately comments on her not looking at all ready.
the second she doesn't even say anything, just looks to him and nods, and you can almost hear amusement in his voice as he now responds in reassurance "you look ready".
One of my favorite scenes, after the mini gun barrage, they go in to find Dredd in the rubble. He walks out with one of her henchmen, and tosses him over the balcony, and immediately turns around to walk back into the darkness. He doesn't care about Ma ma's reaction, he doesn't pose to look more imposing, not a single F is given, just continues working.
Which is also why I love the ending, he doesn't elaborate to his boss, doesn't ask for medical attention. Just another drug bust, just another day on the job, right back to work.
That sense of “All in good time” as he walks back into the smoke rather than snipe at Ma Ma from across the atrium.
They're not mini-guns! They're full-sized Vulcan cannons, that are normally fitted to American fighter jets. The "mini gun" is a miniaturised Vulcan. 😄
Also, when he gets on the PA and says "I am the Law." It's like he's stating an immutable law of the universe.
that was the intent of the film, originally it was gonna be a dredd vs death film but they reigned it back to be more grounded and went with a day in the life scenario for the plot
I've been reading Judge Dredd since he appeared in 2000AD comic back in '77.The entire cast were great,but Karl Urban-who is also a fan of Dredd-totally nailed the character.Pick up a copy or two,and you'll see Dredd's expression never changes.And he never takes his helmet off.Which is why die hard fans like me were in uproar at the Stallone version.
Stallone was just a Jimp.
Stallone as John Spartan in Demolition Man was a better Dredd than his actual Dredd.
Dredd is incredible. I was blown away the first time I watched it. Great shame it did nothing at the box office and the sequel is long over due! Another great choice Lauren :)
I got blown too when I watched it in the theater with my girlfriend.
@@eatsmylifeYT Blow up dolls don't count 🙄
@@outpost31737 You obviously have no sense of humor.
And Slaine.
Robocop stole a lot of Judge Dredd's thunder back in the day, so it's interesting that you picked up on that in reverse! Dredd using ED-209's famous "20 seconds to comply" line from Robocop was basically a knowing wink to the audience.
I saw Dredd at the cinema, and to this day it remains the best use of 3D I've ever experienced. The Slo-Mo scenes had a painfully beautiful clarity that contrasted with the dystopian setting. It even made the end titles look spectacular. After the disappointment of the1995 Stallone version, this one finally got it right.
The co-writer of RoboCop, Edward Neumeier, began writing his screenplay as a Judge Dredd movie, but could not secure the rights from the owners. So, he changed his character into a cyborg and RoboCop was born! The owners of Judge Dredd were very upset when RoboCop came out and was a big hit, but there was nothing they could legally do because the story was very different and only inspired by Dredd.
Karl Urban was a massive Judge Dredd fan, and he did this film justice. Shame we never got a sequel, love this film and the comic books. Cassandra Anderson became so popular that she got her own comic book stories 😃
If his performance in this is any indication, Karl Urban would be a badass Batman. I'm still holding out hope that he'll get his chance to wear the cape and cowl someday.
P.S. Your meme at 15:09 was hilarious lol
Karl Urban is 50 years old. Not much chance unless they do a Batman Beyond sorta thing like supposedly Keaton's getting to be a bit of in the Flash movie whenever it comes out in whatever form it'll be in. But Keaton had already played the part when he was younger. Urban hasn't. I think he's pretty happy being Billy Butcher from the Boys anyways. More of a fun role.
@@carn9507 he's in great shape for his age. He doesn't look anything like an old crippled Batman beyond Bruce.
That's exactly what I said before they mis-cast Assfleck in the role.
@@ValiantWrestling meh, Affleck was fine. But Urban, despite being older, feels younger, and would make an ideal "Pattinson Batman all grown up" because he's tall but not as bulky as Affleck, and his acting with just his mouth and voice is ICONIC.
Affleck did a cynical angry Batman, but Urban could do the old stoic Batman who's seen it all and has a plan for everything and is 100% done with your crap.
@@carn9507 He could also play a damned good Vandal Savage.
I saw this movie twice at the cinema, in 3D. It was really the only time that I've ever seen 3D used well in a movie, and not just as a gimmic.
The scenes that you particularly noted - with Ma-Ma in the bath and Ma-Ma's trip down, looked stunningly beautiful in 3d; with the water droplets and glass shards shining.
"What happened in there Dredd?"
"Drug bust."
"Look like you been through it"
"Perps were... uncooperative..."
That was the mother of all understatements...
A lot of this was filmed in South Africa, and as a South African it is really cool to see familiar places where I have walked and driven many times, in a big international movie.
We dont get on the world stage very often so it feels cool when we do.
Loved your reaction as usual.
Great reaction again. Urban completely nails it as Dredd, and they get the vibe of the dystopian Mega City One vibe bang on too. This is how I imagined Joe Dredd when I was a kid reading it in 2000AD when he was introduced to us in 1977 (Dredd is basically Clint Eastwood's iconic 'Dirty Harry' set in a brutal future and with less bureaucracy to govern his actions). Dredd's still going strong today and the graphic novel introduction to Ma Ma based on Karl Urban's version is well worth a read, with a nod to the film it's called 'Urban Warfare'. Rumours of a live action Mega City One TV series are still doing the rounds from time to time too.
Hoping Mega City One looks better in the TV series, Lower budget it looked very limited in this film compared to the amazing 1990 version with all it's problems it nailed the production designs.
@@talkingheads3059 except for the god awful Judges uniforms. The SJS Judges and Aspen Prison Guards looked great though.
My favorite line is the "Are you ready? You don't look ready" and the call back to it later hits so good. "Are you ready? You look ready" - Also the best part of this is... This is just another day for Dredd, there is nothing special about this. To answer a question you had, a Judge's weapon is bio-metrically tuned to a Judge's DNA so if anyone else tries to use it, it explodes
I actually like the fact that Dredd never changes his expression. To us this is a big deal. To Dredd, it's a Tuesday or whatever. This is just what he does. Him never taking off the helmet was absolutely the right choice.
I'm glad you got to react to this one, Lauren! Like you and a lot of other people, I am a big fan of Karl Urban. Whether it's this movie, "The Boys" or him playing Leonard McCoy in the "Star Trek" movies, he's fantastic in every role he takes. Great reaction!
Eomer in LotR, Agent William Cooper in RED, Skurge in Thor: Ragnarök, Vaako in Riddick...
even tho he was just a side character in one of the Born movies hes still one of the most memorable characters from that series to me
Seeing this in 3D in the theatres was insane, those slo-mo scenes were beautiful.
Glad you liked it, my dad has been a subscriber to the 2000AD comics for decades.
Laurenn, this movie has a slightly complicated back story: When Sylvester Stallone made the Judge Dredd movie in 1995, they based his movie on the Judge Dredd stories published in the 80's, in the British comic book weekly 2000 AD. However, to avoid copyright issues with the Stallone film, this Dredd movie is based on Judge Dredd's first story, published in 2000 AD # 2, which was in a more serious tone, less sci-fi and more Dirty Harry.
This movie was such a wild surprise. Karl Urban IS Dredd and he likes the character so much he wants to do the character more but so far no studios have taken on another movie.
Honestly with ALL the fucking superhero/comic book movies that have been pumped out in the past 20 years,
I NEVER would have guessed that DREDD would be in my TOP 5 (and it isn't 5!)
This shit is AMAZING each and every time.
You've become one of my fav reactors for sure.
Great content!
Keep it going!!!
Hey Lauren! This such a fun movie.Great action scenes and epic one liners. Loved this reaction video as always!🥰
Dredd is a pretty accurate portrayal of the comic book Judge Dredd. The 1995 movie Judge Dredd is a campier version that stars Sylvester Stallone. There is even a thrash metal song about Judge Dredd by the band Anthrax called, I Am The Law.
Good to know! I look forward to checking out the comic book! I have the Batman/Judge Dredd book right now that I am excited to read. No way there's a metal song!? Weow, very cool! I will have to give that a listen🤩 Thanks for watching LoneStar😃
Which is odd cos the comic is pretty campy at times. That's what I feel is lacking from this movie. It loses a lot of the british humour and satire and is pretty by the numbers and generic. It's fine. But it just never feels like proper Judge Dredd to me. Still waiting for an adaptation that really does it right.
Anthrax always rock that song at concerts and I’ve seen them perform it at 2 shows!🤘
@@carn9507 Dredd isn't all campy though. Some stories are campy but others were done very seriously. I think it works best when it balances parody with serious brutal tones.
Glaring hole in Hollywood for the last 10 years is that Dredd hasn't been made into a franchise. Urban absolutely killed it along with everyone of the cast
I'm loving your reaction Laurenn. Judge Dredd has some great comics. You should definitely give them a look sometime! Dredd was also an inspiration during the creation of RoboCop, so the vibes you're picking up on 100% make sense.
Another great role for Lena Headey is as the Spartan queen in "300", a movie based on the graphic novel. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. I think you'll find it pretty awesome.
yeah, and she also played Sarah Connor in the 'Sarah Connor chronicles'... a pretty cool spin-off series to the 'Terminator' franchise !
It's criminal the amount of people that haven't seen this gem of a movie. And even more criminal that there is no sequel.
In the comics, Judge Anderson is a key character. She is the most powerful psycher in the stories. Being a psycher, she is given more leeway than regular judges. There is a comic where her and another psi judge goes on a night of partying.
This was amazing in the theater because it's one if the few modern films made since Avatar that was shot in genuine, full high quality 3d. Coupled with the slowmo, the gorgeous cinematography was very special.
This remake is a true classic we need a sequel. Great reaction by the way.
I used to collect Judge Dredd comics back in the '80s. That look on his face is pretty spot on.
He always had a scowl on his face. Always.
Old Stoney Face
This Dredd was so good and close to source material. I want you to watch the first movie, compare them and you'll notice that both are the products of their own era. But this is definitely my favourite one and it showed what Karl Urban can bring out of him. There are not a lot of people who would play the whole time with their face covered. His Ego control is amazing. After this I watched him in Star Trek and its like there are several Karl's out there
the meat-grinder line is referencing the food situation in Megacity One. You no doubt heard the references to "recyc" (recycler) and "meat wagon" when the judges called in for dead body retrieval. Think about it, 800 million people in a city surrounded by radioactive desert, no farms. what else could they be eating at S'barro's?
Dredd isn't the law. LoveLaurenn is the law.
😂😂
7:40 Yeah but the time slowing started when they were skinned alive, to make it last longer from that point on.
this is one of the most underrated movies of the last 20 years...same with the soundtrack
I was fortunate enough to watch Dredd in theaters when it came out. It was so badass! Especially since it was in 3D. Some years later I got to meet Karl Urban at a comic con. I also got him to sign my Judge Dredd comic book and take a pic with him. Best part was I got to ask him a question during his panel. I was super nervous haha! I asked him a question about the voice he used as Judge Dredd and told him that whenever I read a Judge Dredd comic I hear his voice. The coolest part was after he finished answering. He said, "Good question" as Judge Dredd 😄 I almost died of excitement 😅
Not murder, he performs summary executions in accordance with the law
Peoples dress up killing all the time, its all murder
Absolute travesty that this movie didn't get a sequel. So friggin good.
I love watching people find this amazingly underrated masterpiece 🍻🍻 great reaction video and so glad you loved it.
Urban gained my respect for not removing the helmet in Dredd. It seems like an odd thing to people not familiar with the comic, but one of the defining parts of Dredd is that the readers have never seen his face clearly. It's either with the helmet on, in disguise, or badly disfigured, though we can extrapolate from other sources, as he's a clone.
Urban understood that, and instead of demanding face time due to his start status, he kept the helmet on, and concentrated on acting with his body language and lower face.
Absolute legend.
I've always pronounced her name as "Headey", but yeah, it might be "Headey".
She's also in Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. By far the only post-T2 story worth watching. (I think season 1 is pretty good, season 2 is even better, but while I was so excited for what season 3 would bring, it was ended during the writer's strike, so it didn't come to a satisfying conclusion. Just left on a cliff-hanger.
It's a good show up to then, she's given some legit material to work with and - not surprisingly - she crushes it. If you don't want to give it a shot because it doesn't have an actual ending, fair enough, but I feel like you should at least know it's out there, that it's an actually good Terminator show, so you can decide whether or not you want to check it out.)
Hot damn I love this movie, I needed a sequel so bad :(
Every time I see Karl Urban/Dredd's Facial Expression I'm reminded of the internet meme of Bored or Angry Cat and the words "Oh Really!?!" 🤣
Thank you for the reaction, loved it!
Great reaction Lauren. While I like Sly Stallones Judge Dredd. I absolutely LOVED this version. This reminded me of the comic. Karl Urban is amazing man and actor. Karl wanted to stay true to the comic as he is a fan. Karl is a handsome man and for him to want to stay true and NOT remove the helmet just shows you how much he wanted to stay true to the story just shows you, his dedication. Olivia (Andrerson) was amazing as his partner.
Judge Dredd world is dark. But what I loved about this story is it showed you that Judge Dredd isn't just being violent to be violent. He is trying to be a good judge. In the comics he is THE epitome of judges and I like that he gave her a pass because it shows you that Anderson rubbed off on him, but also that he does believe in judging correctly. Meaning people like you said maybe doing criminal activity because they are scared of other criminals. Also, he used stun on the kids. :)
Those "Miniguns" were actually 20mm M61 Vulcan cannons. They are used in combat aircraft. The reason they call the M134 a Minigun, is because it is a scaled down version of an M61 Vulcan, that fires 7.62mm rifle ammunition...
EDIT: I forgot to add, don't forget to watch the 1995 Stallone "Judge Dredd". I won't ruin any aspects of it, but it's an experience...
The fictional prop gatling guns were neither 7.62 miniguns nor 20mm Vulcan Cannons; they were based on, and scaled to match, a .50 BMG (12.7) assembly like the GAU-19, but given six barrels, contributing to the more girthy appearance akin to an M61.
@@ShooterQ no matter what the actual calibre is, my point was they weren't miniguns. They are Gatling guns, but too large to be classified as a minigun...
That computer guy with the funky eyes was the same guy they showed Mama gouging out his eyes earlier... so he got cybernetic eyes, but was forced to work for Mama.
In the comics Dredd's nickname among other Judes is 'Old stony face'. Karl Urban nails the scowl.
Thanks for another awesome reaction video Lauren! I used to love the 2000AD comics featuring Judge Dredd. Always thought provoking, sometimes mindblowing stories!
Laurenn...know i am a recent subscriber, but I've watched maybe 20 of your videos so far...I subscribe to maybe 40 reaction video artists at this time, but YOU are the STUFF!...you are the educated and honest reaction video entrepreneaur...I just wanted to thank you for what you do...I appreciate what you're doing :)
I love the parting shot of Anderson returning to work. After feeling like she failed being a Judge for the last time, she finally became a full Street Judge. She wins, the audience wins, Dredd wins...great movie.
Yayyyyyyy! Lauren watches Dredd... this just made my Friday night.
hahahaha Dredd eating cereal killed me ! XD 15:26
good evening laurenn - i love your reaction videos
Weeee Loved your reactions! i am going to have to watch the full movie it looks really good!!
I thought it was a great movie! You should definitely checkout the full movie katie I think you'll enjoy it😄Thanks for watching!
I'm sure others have mentioned this, but Robocop was very much based on the Judge Dredd comics. This film is a pretty faithful adaptation of the comics, but with the satire dialled back quite a lot. Dredd was originally a satire of the American action cop stereotype (everything inspired by Dirty Harry, basically) and this film understands that he is in no way the good guy. He is a brutal, uncompromising authoritarian with some strong fascistic undertones. It's just that the people he "Judges" are usually much worse (or, at least, presented as such). And he is very, very cool.
The action, the acting, the sets, the dialogue...everything comes together perfectly in this film. It is definitely in my list of favourite action films of all time.
Ha! Judge Dredd's scowl is a thing in the comics. Urban nailed in regularly throughout the film. Dredd is the Grumpy Cat of Super Heroes.
This is BY FAR my favorite comic-book based movie, with the one exception of Heavy Metal. Saw it in theaters in 3D and HSF and it blew me away. But beyond the eye candy, it is just so well done. True to the source, tight script, great cast, great camera work and never gets bogged down. One of the very few movies where I actually want a sequel.
Hi Lauren 👋🏽🥰 1st you look really pretty in the vidyou love the shirt♥️ , I really enjoy your reaction to Dredd Your reaction was magnificent my friend I remember watching this movie a long time ago in theaters but seeing your reaction was the best !!
See you on Sunday Stream ! 😊
The bad judge who waxed metaphorically "meat grinder" was also a judge in Stallone's version as well.
Those trippy shots were amazing in 3D cinema. I had time waiting for another movie and I was familiar with Dredd so I went to see it... No promotion beyond a poster in the cinema for this gem?! No sequel?!
One of the few adaptations of comic book property that is actually faithful to the original. Dredd never shows his face. Anderson is a psychic. Guns and bikes look like from comics, uniforms look like a practical bike cop version of the costume.
Karl Urban is great in this role and Olivia Thirlby gives audience sympathetic deuteragonist, since Dredd at the best of his days in not likeable.
Simple plot, no unnecessary detours just to keep you guessing. This movie knew what it was and was not trying to be anything else. And it works.
Judge Dredd has the nickname of "Old Stoney Face", the scowl is his signature. Karl Urban was a fan of the comics and agreed to the film as long as he got to keep the helmet on.
For 2000AD comic book recommendations I would personally go with Judge Dredd and the Dark Judges, Strontium Dogs, Ballad of Halo Jones, Slaine, ABC Warriors and Rogue Trooper. You will probably also enjoy Durham Red a spin off of Strontium Dogs.
There is a TV series in the making called Mega City and the owner of Rebellion also plans on a Rogue Trooper film. Hopefully we will see these start to get produced soon. Glad you enjoyed and welcome to the Mega City.
The whole film Ma-Ma thought she had the Judges trapped inside her block. In reality, she was trapped inside with Dredd.
Love Love LoveLaurenn, I'm right there with you. Love Karl Urban as Judge Dredd. The judges sidearm is only programed for the judge. Nice feature for a weapon. Love your reaction, as always. Have a perfect weekend. 😉👌
The Judge Dredd vs. Batman graphic novel (Judgment on Gotham) was my introduction to Judge Dredd. AMAZING art and a pretty epic story. According to wiki-pedia, the signing launch at the Virgin Megastore at Oxford Circus in London amazed even the police with the numbers that lined up around the block to get their book signed by Simon Bisley, John Wagner and Alan Grant. The store manager said it was a bigger draw than when David Bowie had done a signing the month previously. It won a number of comics industry awards, including the 1992 UK Comic Art Award for Best Original Graphic Novel, and in addition, Bisley's artwork garnered him the Best Artist Eisner Award and UK Comic Art Awards for 1992. Worth a look if you can get a copy. Thanks for another great reaction/ review!
"These two judges being trapped inside with all these criminals!"
More like all those criminals trapped in there with Dredd.
Great reaction to a brilliant film. The reason Robocop is similar to Dredd is because Robocop was based on him to begin with! Dredd made his debut in the British 2000 AD comics back in March 1977.
He´s not murdering them, he´s judging them 😜Very important difference hahaha!
Oh yeah. This review just earned you a follow. 😊❤
One of the most underrated movies of the last 11 years. Probably was overlooked because originally was called "DREDD 3D" which turned off a lot of people thinking this was some kind silly, gimmicky movie with no substance. But in all reality is practically a masterpiece. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Love that you loved one of my favorite movies LL. If only the marketing of it wasn't screwed up so badly no one went to see it we might have gotten a sequel. Carl Urban was keen. A judge's 'Lawgiver' sidearm is coded to its judges DNA. If someone else tries to use it, it will self destruct. In the comic Dredd ages in line with our time. He was 38 at the time of first publication in 1977, so is now 84.
Im glad you loved this movie as much as I did. Its truly a masterpiece that needs to be seen by more people
i love your reaction in most scenes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍 You won a fan from Germany❤️
The movie is great and i love it.
Glad you're watching this one outside of Sylvester's Stallone version. Call urban stayed very true to the character and the comic you never see judge dredd's face ever
Karl Urban could play a multiverse Wolverine in the MCU and CA - RUSH - IT hands down.
Anderson passed just after she let the hacker go and she gave Dredd her reasoning, stated the regs and actually stood up to him. Urbans head tilt just as she passes him going through the door says it all.
I still want a Judge Anderson sequel, she is such a cool character - she has a conscience and compassion that makes her stand out in the very harsh world
There are comics about Judge Anderson. Would've love a movie though.
@@Yggdrasil42 The problem with comics is that they often have soft reboots so continuity gets a bit of a mess, It may not be the case with 2000AD, but I feel like it is with Marvel and DC with how often multiple heroes have had slight retcons here and there. I'd specifically want to see a continuation of Olivia Thirlby's Judge Anderson, in an ideal world it'd be a big budget HBO type show, but in an ideal world this film would have found an audience and had a legit sequel of its own...
Glad to see you enjoyed this, you'll love the comics there's such a wide range of story types, from whacky stuff to really serious, espeically the Dark Judges, they can be comical or terrifying. I'd really recommend the Necropolis storyline, which is issue 14 of the Judge Dredd Complete Casefiles.
Of course, anyone who knows the Dredd lore knows that Anderson was a judge, the first Psi-Judge ever depicted, so her passing the test was never in doubt. But she well and truly earned it. And she _never_ wore a helmet, direct opposite of Dredd, that was also true to the lore.
such a rare moment in time and coming together of real talent... such a treat
I really love that they gave an in universe reason to go HAM on the bullet time slow motion effects.
This and Robocop are two of my favorite movies, love ones like this
"Outside the boundary walls, a desert...inside the boundary walls, Johannesburg" 😆
Doing a Dredd reaction is an automatic subscribe!
I adore this movie. I love that Carl Urban committed to the helmet and we had Anderson as the more human element of the duo.
