Why You Should Watch Dredd
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Dredd (also known as Dredd 3D), starring Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby and written by Alex Garland, was one of the most creative and refreshing films to come out in recent memory. Sadly met with a disappointing box office reception, in addition to some comparison to the also recently released The Raid Redemption.
While it is well known for its action sequences and stunning slow-mo scenes, a lot of subtlety in the narrative and film-making has been lost. In this video essay, I want to showcase the many subtleties of this film, and ultimately show why you should watch Dredd.

Because Dredd.
It really is one of the best scifi films ever. The last slow mo scene is beautiful.
While on the one hand, it’s a shame we never got a next installment (these films need to be rewarded more so than 50 Shades and films like that), maybe that’s a good thing. This film is perfect and the way it’s handled, we see how something so visceral was just another day, and we just had spent a day with Dredd just like Anderson did. I think it works well as is, and while I would have liked to see more of Urban in the role and more of this world, I feel like we got a great look at both.
It's not about the film being one closed piece, it's just that hollywoo would 100% botch everything in a sequel that made this one amazing.
If you haven't seen Dredd, your in for a treat.
You ARE not.
@@tydendurler9574 wtf?
Yes I don't care what people said stupid thing about this movie,
No this movie is tight and clouding Stervator Stallone too were awesome but
Judge Dredd was PG-13/1996
Dredd was R-Rated/2012
Nay, if you haven't seen this Judge Dredd yet thats 50 years in iso cube
gonna get high af and watch it for the first time
I watched it in the theatre with my date. 100% immersed. This and Punisher Warzone is my top pick to be premiered today for the gritty anti-hero movie.
I just saw it here in 2020, never even heard of the release, and I absolutely love it.
Great video. Dredd is also my favourite movie of all time, enjoyed how you broke it down and explained why it's so good. I missed it at the cinema regrettably.
I hate that Dredd doesn't have a larger presence in media. Even Rebellion only made two games after buying the IP over a decade and a half ago.
I know it is praising you by being critical of other people, but I like how you structured this. Talked about the points without ruining the whole movie for a first watch experience. I see too many youtube videos where they call it a 'review' or 'analysis' and they just go through the movie scene by scene plot point by plot point, then wonder why they get copyright strikes.
Fully agreed with the narrator.
I agree with your agreement with the narrator!!!
This movie is so good I almost can't watch it anymore because it's so sad that a sequel was never made.
Don't pass on hamburger just because they don't have double hamburger.
I love this video just about as much as Dredd. Just about!! I don’t recall the first time I viewed Dredd, but I know I’ve watched it dozens upon dozens of times over the years. Truly one of my favorites!! Fans should just say F it and start a go fund me.
I kinda disagree with your assessment of the character of Judge Dredd in this movie. One of his big moments of characterization is being lenient with the vagrant near the entrance of the complex. He lets the vagrant off with a warning, and tells him "Don't be here when i come back". He makes priorities beyond the law, about what is good and not.
I suspect you might agree with me on this, but it didn't come through in the video. Otherwise good, and i'm always down for more celebration of Dredd.
yeah, he also lets Andersons judgement on the hacker go.
you mentioned robocop did you know director
paul verhoeven wanted to make a judge dredd
film but could not get funding so adapted his
script resulting in robocop
Dredd was one of the best comics movies i have ever watched. I agree with you!
I expected to get a video on E3 but this is a welcome surprise. Love this movie and I'm looking forward to the TV series.
E3 is just too tiring to cover, since I prefer diving into copious details on things nowadays. Keanu Reeves seems like a lovely bloke.
@@LHudson Can't argue with that.
Ooooh I’ve been looking forward to this one~ Dredd is wonderfully rewatchable and fun.
Because you should watch good movies.
I'll take that as a challenge. "Why You Should Watch the Twilight Saga", coming soon at Christmas! :3
@@LHudson I'll feel like I've made a mistake and yes I'm gonna rewatch Dredd again
Both Dredd and Alita Battle angel both deserve a sequel !!
One thing that I would like to see is less emphasis on the 90s sucket of bit version. 2000AD fans don't equate one with the other.
Great review of the film and hopefully the series does get off the ground. As for ratings, Dredd sorts that as in his words, "I am the law!"
How sad the best super hero adaptation for movies was shelved while we get tons of the same crap from MCU?
This movie is a masterpiece! I keep watching this movie, is one of the few movies that actually has this effect on me! Yet, all other crap released in the same year are completly forgetful!
For Christ sake, anyone who watch this movie, like it! Is one of the few gens of the the completly mediocre movie industry that we have today!
@Tom Ffrenchwhatever...
I watched it on release and really liked it. Do I get a cookie for being a good boy?
No, but you get two cookies for being part of the team behind the spiritual successor of Daggerfall. By the way, good luck!
My favourite action movie. Can’t recommend it enough.
Love the hotline Miami music. Your work is so underrated man.
This movie is awesome! We should get a sequel instead of whatever contemporary crap is coming from Hollywood atm.
This movie was in and out of theaters before I even knew it existed. I only stumbled onto it years later, and I love it. Marketing really dropped the ball on this one.
4 citizens disliked this. The sentence is

i love Judge Dredd and I love the newer movie. i’m excited for the Mega City 1 tv seris. this is an amazing video. keep up the amazing man.
Longtime fan. Good work
MY PHONE DIDNT TELL ME YOU MADE A NEW VIDEO!
Time to get me a new phone
(Throws it out the window)
I made my nephew watch this movie and he loved it
Wow great video, editing is spot on.
Your glowing praise actually inspired me to watch Dredd after I initially dismissed it as one of those Marvel adaptions that occasionally show up on Netflix. You know, the ones that are of... varying qualities, to say the least.
I can't believe that, in my aversion to all that movie bloat over the past few years, I nearly missed a truly great work of art.
Also, your video was mentioned by Angriest Pat during their most recent Castle Superbeast podcast, which I thought was absolutely wild (he mispronounced your username as LGHudson, but it was still crazy to hear about).
You got a time stamp for that podcast?
@@LHudson 10 min. 13 sec. He was breezing through what he did over the weekend, which included watching your video.
When I saw the title I was like cause it's a amazing movie
10:09 "A series of admittedly well shot action with moments of unflinching procedure"
So John Wick Basically.
The Raid wowed me way more, to be honest. But Dredd is kinda better on the second viewing when LOOK AT ALL THIS RAD AS FUCK FIGHTS effect wears off a little.
I am SO sorry I didn't see this earlier!! :'( This is fucking good! Glad to see a new upload from you!
Dredd is like Robocop in a good way.
This was a great one. It's a must-watch for grown folks who enjoy good movies.
It made Stallone (I still like the original some) look even sillier than he already did!
IT DID NOT HELP THAT A LOT OF REVIEWERS
DID NOT WATCH IT.AND GAVE FAKE REVIEWS
ASUMING IT WAS A SEQUAL TO THE STALLONE
MOVIE
This movie went completely under my radar back in 2012, and I chanced to watch it under the first Covid lockdown. As a person who grew up with the violent without limits 80s and 90s movies, I find modern action movies a complete joke. Dredd to me is a time machine to the era where these movies were actually amazing to watch. And ever since I have recommended it to many people, that also had their mind blown by it. Hopefully at some point there are going to be enough of us to justify another adaptation of Judge Dredd to the big screen. Until then, this movie will always be 95 minutes of my life very well spent.
I've seen both Dredd and The Raid, and while I enjoyed the latter, I definitely prefer the former (despite the insistence of some of my friends saying The Raid is better). While I would say the action in The Raid is definitely better choreographed and comes off as more intense, it feels like it's not really in service to the movie. What's more, Dredd makes me actually care about Anderson, Dredd, and even MaMa to an extent. The Raid really doesn't give me much of a vehicle to put myself in its world or to care about its characters.
In a nutshell, The Raid had better action, but Dredd is the better movie.
I want to watch the Raid movies, but I have no idea what they are beyond extremely well made action movies. What are they about and how do they compare to this?
@@alexman378
"Dredd" is primarily a (relatively) big budget movie that places its action in a smaller scale setting (compared to other modern action movies, where the big scale setting translates into the imminent destruction of the earth or the universe). The small scale creates suspense a lot more efficiently, because the threats and the characters are more relatable.
"The Raid" does the same thing on a smaller budget and places the focus of the action on melee fighting. Unlike other martial arts movies, it doesn't put style over substance. The fights feel real (to a point) and you won't constantly be under the impression that the hero will win just because he's the hero.
The biggest argument for watching "The Raid" might be its writer/director. Gareth Evans knows how to create suspense before and during the action. He's become a little better known recently through the TV series "Gangs of London", which he created and also directed the first two episodes of.
IMO (and I'm in a minority there), you could skip "The Raid 2". Where the first movie felt compact with steady tension, the sequel is far too loosely told. The action sequences will mostly just entertain martial arts enthusiasts, for the level of realism. There isn't much tension because nothing important is at stake and you'll know who's going to win in advance.
If you should like part one, though...might as well give the sequel a look.
@@alexman378
Regarding what "The Raid" is about...Similar starting point to "Dredd":
A SWAT Team enters a building to stop a criminal operation.
thanks bro fun homage
That Prey soundtrack in the background tho...
This movie is truly amazing! Dredd is such a cyberpunk masterpiece. Very well made and the actors did a pretty good job too. I've watched so many times and I still can't get enough. Maybe, one day, we can get a sequel... But, until that day comes, I'll keeo recommending this movie to all my friends. Great video! Thanks.
You have to admit Anderson is extremely well written.
I never even heard that this movie was made until I saw it on Blu-Ray a year after the fact. I hated the Stallone version, so I couldn't tell you why I picked it up. I'm SO glad I did, though. I think I've watched it 20 times by now. I love it.
Start on 21
Great commentary, agree with you completely on all points. Dredd 2012 is an underappreciated gem that was sadly lost in the wave of predictable Hollywood films released at the time. The superhero genre had been configured to PG level entertainment mostly suited for kids so a gritty, heavy, R rated comic adaptation was likely to fall by the wayside. Sadly, at the time I was unable to see it in the theater. But I later watched it on InDemand at home and
immediately regretted not seeing it on the big screen, the mini-gun scene most of all. I was also mesmerized by the scene in the middle of the film where Anderson was gazing out across the cityscape at the other housing towers, but they had no escape and they may have well have been thousands of miles away. And you're correct, it was a very intricate plot with a lot of progress and development. But it seems movies like that don't appeal to general audiences, who are used to just consuming predicable and shallow movies over and over. It was good to later view a video clip of Karl Urban commenting on how high sales of the DVD were once released, showing that it had a strong following due to just word of mouth later. Once again, great review, and even if the world these filmmakers created is never revisited, maybe vids like yours will convince newer viewers to watch and buy it and show support for this amazing movie even a decade later. Also the vids of Karl and Olivia thanking the fans for their support helped. Again, well done.
Watch The Wire already, man, it's fucking awesome.
Thank you for your views....very cool, and yet superficially, it looks like a rehash of Rambo/Commando. Karl and disgusted Visage are THE DREDD!!! Drokk it!!! If I won the lottery, it would be sequels ahoy!!!
Ahhh shit common I'll have to watch it AGAIN now.
I just wonder what he means when he said RECYC/RECYK/RESAYK to the victims... I too love This Movie, Too bad it won't get any sequel :(
Recyk, rescyc, recycle. It's a process that basically turns the dead into food and other...things. If you have the money, you can get buried the old fashioned way. But generally, nothing is wasted in the mega city.
I never realized that they will use the dead people as food :( that's just evil, but I guess this universe is full of cruelty and desperation, and it's necessary for survival, thanks for the info @@steventan2754
People who know Dredd from the 80's movie. ~ "But . . . . . I thought Dredd was a shortarsed, grotesque, goblin lookin' motherfucker with a speech impediment" 🤣🤣🤣
Spot on champion
The only part of the movie that is severely lacking is the acting by almost everyone besides Dredd and Rookie.
My favourite movie ever
Just watched it, yeah it's good
Get ready folks. His next video: Why "Freddy Got Fingered" is actually comedic genius.
Gaze into the film of Dredd!
BANGER
It's a great movie and all, but with how fucked their world is, it doesn't make sense that Mega City One is still standing. At least in the 1995 movie, they had soldiers outside of the judges who guard the walls and the prisons of the city, as well as specialized black-ops troops who hunt corrupt judges. But in the 2012 movie, there's just the judges, and at least a good number of them work for the gangsters, not the law. The city would have fallen a long time ago, with one half of the judges overwhelmed by all the criminal rioters, and the other half of the judges, sensing where the wind is blowing, would join the criminals against their more morally upright brethren.
I don't believe that Justin Beaver should ever be talked about for any reason.
Pat brought me here
I don't what everybody say crap about this
No This Movie is Hardcore
Get ready for a pat-based influx of views, bud
Wait....what did the RedBull drip fed gremlin do!???
*nervous*
@@LHudson he said you seem like a great youtuber and that he was gonna check out dredd iirc
which is great because dredd is a great movie and everyone should watch it
good video btw
Poor ol film *_:' /_*
22min? Might as well just watch dredd instead.
She's a pass.
No offence but I get the feeling from this review that you don't read the comics.
BS. This "movie" is ridiculous trash. Lena Headey alone is a parody in her role. Super embarassing, super bad. Period.
It's a good film, but I didn't like her in it much at all.
Go back to your cave, Drizzt.
How can you even say that? That "Cersei goes out the Moon Door" scene was brilliant.
