- Dredd! Again! Finally! After being blocked for over a year in lots of countries and also blocked on mobile?? It's back...hopefully. I added some new wins, tweaked some stuff to try to make it more studio friendly and hopefully you like it as much as last time.

It's one of Hollywood's biggest sin that this hasn't got a proper sequel. I hope the TV series will do it justice.
Honestly, I can't wait for that first trailer.... Man theyre probably filming episodes rn....
It never got a proper sequel because people didn't go see it. This movie, as good as it is, didn't recoup its budget
That's not a Hollywood problem. It made almost no money. That makes it an audience problem.
Likely just released before its time
wait, what? tv series?
Who is dredd in it?
Actually, the first instance of “morality” in this movie, and a great showcase of Dredd’s own views is when some kids fire at him and he switches to non lethal stun ammo. This may not seem all that remarkable, but they fired on and attempted to kill a judge, in the world of dredd that’s an automatic death sentence, no matter who you are. Dredd knows this but still chose to spare them using the stun ammo, and it’s never brought up or mentioned, showing that he may be unrelenting and resolute, but there are some embers of humanity inside him.
Matthew Terlaga probabaly why he passed Anderson
And he didn’t really react much to their threats, either.
I don't see how dredd isn't a hero. he's not Batman. the only way he has to deal with these monsters is a bullet. it's not like he's knocking off guys who put soda in a water cup
Smith Soda in a water cup? 1 week in the iso-cubes!
Dredd is like any BOPE cops in Brazil, they are moral, but they are also fighting a bloody fucking war, Ma-ma isn't moral just because she was abused once! She is like any "Alemão" that are sitting in the top of a favela, so yeah, i guess, that this ideia of a broken villain is new for you, but nobady in Brazil fall for "hearth breaking" storys of criminals, except those who have interest that criminals remain criminals! And neither do we fall for the crap that cops who kill are evil!
I am really dissaponinted this will probably never get a sequel
There's a TV show being made from the same people who worked on it
@@Ghost-be8pb It was canned last year.
Gutted Man!!! Quality Film!!!
Hey, at least it didn't end on a cliffhanger or something, or try to set up a franchise. That would have sucked! Instead, it was content to just be a standalone thing, and thank goodness for that!
I was really looking forward to that HBO show that was in development, but then that got the shaft too
My interpretation of Dredd is that he is entirely cognizant of his place in the world. It's literally in his catchphrase. He's not good, he's not evil, he is The LAW. Not the letter of it, but its spirit. He is there to protect the innocent, punish the guilty, and preserve whatever peace there is, whether it's by showing mercy whenever he can or being efficient when he can't.
And that is the reason why he passed Anderson. She finished her mission and protected Techie (standing up to Dredd in the process) not because she wanted to pass, not for personal gain (which the corrupt Judges failed), but because it was the right thing to do. She upheld the spirit of the law no matter the cost of herself, and that is why she passed.
I love that he is the spirt of the law
It's his personal Sisyphean Task.
He can't fix the world and will most certainly die trying.
The world is *fucked*, along with every single person in it. Nothing he will ever do can make a meaningful difference.
He KNOWS that, and tries anyways, because that's just who he is. He can't accept anything less.
He'll do what's right no matter how many rules he has to bend or how many bullets he has to take.
Because he's Dredd.
That's something I liked about this Dredd, instead of the comical Stallone interpretation.
Exactly, he's what the law should be, cold and impartial. But fair and just.@@zanenevada7327
Excellent comment - and perfectly SPOT ON. Fully agree with you. Thank you for putting into words what I struggled with.
Bonus win: Last scene for the rookie, she's carrying her helmet.
I think it is implied that she wears it when she is on her motorcycle in the beginning too.
Implying she would rather feel nothing to operate in a savage world that is Judge Dredd.
cause you get an bill for not bringing back the whole equipment. :D
She may have been taking Dredd's advice. "I think a bullet ... might interfere more."
This movie has been number one on my "This movie needs a sequel/continuation" list for years. Hated the Stallone version, but this one knocks it out of the park. Karl Urban absolutely nails it.
You can be both an abuser and victim at once. They aren’t mutually exclusive from each other. So your regard of Ma-ma is spot on.
It happens too often when our systems fail the victims. Not all victims become abusers but most abusers where also victims. We need systems to stop the cycle. And compassion for all people.
It’s how the cycle of abuse happens
NARCISSISTS are either the victim or the hero always God is the narcissistic psychopath CREATOR OF VICTIMS who are all races of people who are born into this shitty OVERPOPULATED world AGAINST OUR OWN GOD GIVEN FREE WILL CHOICE all in the name of Future Token Toby Kunta KinTAX payer whip cracking slavery. Living for God's so called Supernatural Devine plan IS SLAVERY WITHIN ITS SELF then there is TAX PAYER SLAVERY and the SLAVERIES OF PAYMENTS DUE. The meaning of shitty human life is all about SLAVERY for all races of people in the OVERPOPULATED USA 🇺🇸 and WHOLE OVERPOPULATED WORLD. THATS THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH BOMB 💣 GO JANE'S REVENGE and HAIL SATAN !!! Because if everything really is GOD'S WILL and if GOD really is a SUPER EMPATH then no WOMEN would ever get pregnant and no VICTIMS would ever be born into this shitty OVERPOPULATED world AGAINST OUR OWN GOD GIVEN FREE WILL CHOICE all in the name of Future Token Toby Kunta KinTAX payer whip cracking SLAVERY. And people having to Abide by DA LAW could have all been easily avoided if the fucking brainwashed and delusional and selfish and sadistic and in greed we trust driven future token Toby Kunta KinTAX payer whip cracking slavery driver pro life anti abortion God freaks had just allowed the whole psycho and hypocrite and SINNER and in greed we trust driven uncivilized and stupid and NEEDY and Brainwashed human race animals CREATION to all remain at peace and true freedom while already living in the heaven of non self-awareness by allowing the whole psycho and hypocrite and SINNER and in greed we trust driven uncivilized and stupid and NEEDY and Brainwashed human race animals CREATION to all be SWALLOWED WADS OF CUM or ABORTIONS in the SHITTY OVERPOPULATED USA 🇺🇸 and WHOLE OVERPOPULATED WORLD. YEP people having to Abide by DA LAW could have all been easily avoided. THE TRUTH IS MY SWORD and THATS THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH BOMB 💣 GO JANE'S REVENGE and in the name of the American first Amendment HAIL SATAN !!!
Probably my favourite part of the Dirty Judges monologue was that we finally get a tiny glimpse of how revered/feared Judge Dredd was. For everyone else, Dredd was just another Judge, but for the Dirty Judge, he was almost godlike, like how we see him, and that’s why he mocked him during the monologue. The audience already knows he’s the goat, so seeing someone else finally acknowledge that near the end of the movie was great.
that's why they increased the price with mama lol
Because Dredd is one of the few people in Megacity 1 with an invincible moral code. He can't be bought, he can't be intimidated, he can't be blackmailed.
He knows the world is fucked, along with every single person living in it.
He knows nothing he could possibly do will meaningfully improve the world beyond keeping it spinning one more day.
Yet he doesn't give up. He doesn't compromise. He fights for what's right, even if he has to bend the rules to do it, even if he has to DIE to do it.
He can't accept anything less, because that's just who he is.
Because he's Dredd.
I always thought the reason Dredd hits Mama with the slow-mo before throwing her off was to avoid her from going into shock and her heart stopping while she was still falling.
Now that you mention it, that sounds familiar. Wasn't the trigger also set up to go off if her heartbeat got too fast as well? (Which it surely would when she started falling.)
Great point.
When you think about it judges are super badass medics essentially with the nifty little med kit they always have on hand.
Thing that bothered me about that was the possibility that the receiver could have been set to fail deadly if it lost the signal without being properly disarmed first. So say if it looses the signal for more than a few seconds (you don't want it blowing up from brief interference after all) then BOOM. That's a pretty obvious way to prevent attempts to destroy the transmitter so it's not like nobody would think of that.
@@atomicskull6405 A bomb set to explode if it doesn't receive a signal is really bad design. Like, really freaking bad design.
Imagine, a rival gang wants to kill Mama.
All they have to do would be to set up a jammer.
Boom. She's dead.
In short: The receiver makes total sense.
Karl Urban and Olivia Thilby completly own their roles. Two ultimate badasses in a movie that makes no compromises and no prisioners.
Wood Harris doesn't get enough credit for his role here either, his main role is to literally be dragged around by the other main characters, and his scenes with Anderson tend to portray a dynamic power balance that actually keeps the audience guessing who is in command.
@@frederalbacon It is hard to point to any single actor/actress - they all were excellent, and all added to such a great film.
They literally take a prisoner.
@@2nd3rd1st not for long
@@rianmacdonald9454 true
Ah, you should’ve included that last line “So Anderson? Is she a pass or a fail?”
Dredd- “She’s a pass.”
That works on so many levels. It’s acknowledging her aptitude to perform the duty of a Judge... but also an acknowledgment of Anderson having the ‘decency’ (or understanding of how difficult a judges job is and the toll it demands) to literally “pass” on the job.
Nah. Dredd is just saying she's got what it takes. He doesn't care one jot if her experiences or empathy have soured her enthusiasm for the job. If it has, she isn't a good fit. You could as easily argue that Dredd is "passing" on her. It doesn't work. He's speaking to the chief judge about passing a rookie mutant as a judge. His objections are made plain at the very start.
All the stuff that happens in the film is literally Dredd's everyday life. Turning a citizen into a judge is, from his point of view, the only meaningful action he performs in the whole thing. The writing and directing go to great lengths to emphasize that. This just adds to Anderson's character and Dredd's arc. He went from saying "she's a mutie empath" to "she's judge material". It really sets up a sequel where they are, as in the books, the iron fist in the velvet glove.
@@synchc They really did great justice, pun intended, to the Dredd/Anderson dynamic.
Smart to make her such a big focus too, since if Dredd has a hero at all it's her.
Karl Urban's delivery of "I am the law" is an instant 10 thousand wins for me. Sends shivers throughout my whole body every time I hear it and I've seen the movie many times.
He says it so calmly. So coldly. So matter-of-fact-ly. Because, to him, this is, indeed, a fact as mundane as that things fall down or sun gives light.
"Ma-ma is not the law...
I am the law"
Jwlz T line gives me chills
"As for you Ma-Ma... Judgement time."
That's the line that got me. Like if the film ended on that line and on a cliffhanger, I wouldn't have cared, it was worth every penny.
Me, after I moved out of my mom's house.
*chills*
That grizzled hiss of his just makes it perfect.
Dredd is DEFINITELY what Batman sees himself as anytime someone tries to make him break his rules.
Except Dredd literally has a kill count in the Hundred of Millions
@@weldonwin What I mean is that Dredd is what Batman fears becoming.
@@whuuuut2035 Hell, there has actually been a Judge Dredd x Batman crossover, where the Joker crosses dimensions and comes to Mega City One
@@weldonwin I know, and in that, he talks about how he feels that if he had crossed the line, Dredd is who he'd be. This faceless lethal punishment hell bent on killing anyone for anything even slightly out of line with the law. Not a silent protector of the innocent.
@@weldonwin So, how far up Joker's butt did Dredd stick his boot?
I love his little comment after saying "there goes monetization"
I enjoyed Stallone's version. The aesthetic was cool, there was some humor and action...it was fun. But this...THIS was an epic version of Dredd I'd never imagined seeing. What a fantastic piece of work! I keep coming back to it again and again. I would really like to see Karl Urban do a bunch of sequels, or, as you mentioned, a Netflix-style series. Just hope they throw enough money at it to make it work and not undercut it before it gets started.
I always got chills when he says to her 'You look ready'. I love this movie, it is a classic.
Yeah, that music was amazing and its all so amazing
Regarding "Dredd never takes off his helmet in the comic". I remember an issue in which Dredd opened the door to his apartment wearing a dressing gown - and that helmet.
I was always disappointed that THIS Judge Dredd movie didn’t give a nod to Anthrax and their song “I am the Law” (which is about Judge Dredd).
Well, except the one liner kind of is the nod.
@@positiivi_teme Except you've got that backwards. The song is an homage to that specific line, either from the original comic or from the Stallone film.
@@JakkFrost1 the song is far older than both. As is many of Anthrax's lyrics, "I am the Law" is based on the comic.
@@clubracergt1 ummm, how can it be both based on the comic _and_ far older than the comic?
@@JakkFrost1 it's older than both movies.
I’m disappointed that this didn’t get a sequel, but damn if it isn’t an amazing film. For me: Karl Urban is ALWAYS a win.
SPOT ON. Said it many times, and will always say it - THIS IS A FUCKING AWESOME FILM - and Karl, Olivia and Lena nailed their roles perfectly.
This: * pops up on my subscription feed *
Me: * having rewatched this episode, like, last month * "whut"
Same here.
Yo. I re watched it like a week ago and yeh. Same
Same I saw this like a month or two ago, I’m so confused
Dyllan Rodriguez Yeah 😅 After getting over my surprise, I just assumed it must be some kinda copyright or demonetization issue that had him needing to reupload (and after reading the description turns out I'm sorta right)
Thank you! I was so confused. Deja vu was getting pretty heavy. I did not see anyone mention it until this comment and got even more confused for a second. I definitely watched it on mobile just within the last month maybe 2 at most.
This was honestly one of the best action movies I’ve ever seen. Seen it like 6 times and I’m always rewatching scenes. It’s just that good.
It always makes me sad when he's forced to reupload
Checks and balances are a good and completely necessary thing but, there is a part of us that wants the punisher/dread style approach to actually confront those that do horrible things but are essentially untouchable.
If there’s a movie that deserves a sequel it’s Dredd.
Most underrated movie of 2012, a great Judge Dredd movie. Deserved to do much better and to have sequels. The movie is great but was let down by having no marketing budget. I remember being shocked when it appeared that there’d been no advertising.
The trouble is it was an indie film, so a Hollywood marking budget was well beyond their means.
Haven’t even watched yet
But this gets a like anyway
Because this movies Needs...NO......DESERVES more Love
it made up in many more ways in after sales for the box office loss.
@@attackhelicopter7403 not enough for a good sequel though
No, lol it’s good. Simple, but entertaining!!! The sequel is complicated
One of the best movies I have ever seen, I didn't even watch it until 2018. Criminally under rated.
"Not everything's a trolley problem, but also not everything is Sauron", great point
Dredd in the comics does change, meeting the Fargo clan softened him towards mutants for example but he certainly is a stubborn grud damn drokker
“When Anderson frees general hux” lmfao.
Heh, that got me too. Came here looking for this.
After seeing her in Juno I was pretty doubtful about casting Olivia Thirlby, but she totally kills this role.
It's a travesty that Dredd didn't get enough views and a sequel.
But I'm happy that it exists.
The only thought I had about Stalone's Dredd in the wake of this film was "thank God Dredd was finally done justice".
Thank you so much for this video. As a 30-year Dredd fan, this was a life-defining movie for me. I can’t imagine any production doing greater justice to the character I love and expunging the memory of the Stallone travesty. To have the whole thing expertly dissected and its brilliance (and flaws) expressed in this way has made my entire month, thank you again.
Karl Urban exemplifies the difference between someone doing a job for a paycheck and someone who genuinely loves the source material. Urban is a huge fan of 2000 AD and it shows in how he delivered his performance. Stallone just wanted a paycheck. He gave the same performance in Demolition Man playing almost the same character he did in his Dredd adaptation.
And I will never forgive him for committing the cardinal sin of revealing his face.
Hey, I would absolutely love it if you could do Everything Great About The Man From Uncle! A stylish Guy Ritchie spy flick full of stylish 60s fashion and gadgets with a little bit of grit, tons of banter and both a great romance AND a great bromance courtesy of Arnie Hammer, Alicia Vikander and freakin' Henry Cavill! What's not to love? I feel like it's very underrated and I'm still holding out hope for a sequel, so I'd love to see you give it the spotlight it deserves!
Yes I agree
Oh, yes please!
Ooh! I agree with this!
Yeah good idea
Also henry cavill would be good as bond, i feel like bond needs black hair
But maybe that's just how i see it because i grew up with brosnan bond and like him the most
Absolutely seconded! Thank you for your comment.
I just _LOVE_ this version of Dredd! Karl Urban, the rest of the cast and crew all deserve a big 'ol party to celebrate just how bad-ass this movie is. This is a movie that starts out already in 5th gear and just keeps getting faster and louder as it hits 11 on the dial. I believe this movie is far superior to the original with Stallone in it. And absolutely some of the best video effects I've ever seen in a movie makes me want to try some slo-mo myself. It looks like a good time!
Thanks for another great review!
Somehow there's always a movie I've never seen that I now want to after watching these vids.
it is an amazing movie!
SPEND MONEY ON IT
remind Lionsgate they FUCKED UP by under servicing this movie
This film is 100% badass, you will LOVE IT! :D
@@xalener unfortunately it's a little late for that. Unless you find a way to purchase it directly from Lionsgate.
They get almost no profit from streaming or Blu-ray purchases.
Which, frankly, is something that needs to change. This model means that only the biggest blockbuster releases have a chance of succeeding. They're expected to make most, if not all, of their proft from the theater release, but a movie like this becomes a cult movie by word of mouth, and doesn't even start picking up momentum until the DVD release.
It means that cult moves will always fail... Which is just sad. A sequel to this would have been amazing. Karl Urban was the perfect Dredd, and they managed to make that world feel believable.
@@bronsoncarder2491 I know that, I just try to re-direct the energy from the annoyance that taps my shoulder every time I see an amazing movie that was failed by its distributor get comments like "oh man I never gave this a chance should I see it???"
This movie was absolutely perfect. I remember when I first saw the title on Netflix I thought "hmm that's cool, looks like a cheesy, fun, low budget comic movie" and boy was I wrong. I wish I could watch it again for the first time, and I hope someday it gets the recognition it deserves. I bet with The Boys being so popular this movie will slowly gain some extra views
Same things, except my dad put it on and I was hesitant to watch it at first because of the previous films. The opening chase scene changed my mind right away, I knew right then and there the movie was going to be awesome
This movie is incredible. You can't make a better Dredd.
We won't get a sequel, but at least they went balls to wall with this one.
That is enough.
This movie is one of my favorites. Sure there isnt much of a character arc and the simple plot still has plot holes, but what it does right, it excels. I love the aesthetic, the gritty one liners, the brutal action, the dystopia, the drug effects, and the fact that it is such a tight and simple story. It doesnt do too much. No one is trying to take over the world. It is a day in the life, and it is amazing
I absolutely loved Dredd! Karl Urban was perfect in the role. I would love to see a sequel or even better a series/mini series with Urban playing Dredd again.
It's planned
I'm sorry for such a nitpick but I have to. It's not Carl Urban, its Karl Urban.
@@volcanolord100 hehe thanks :P I know Ive seen it spelled before, should have noticed, brain fart moment lol
I actually make a point of visiting the Peach Trees cafe whenever I'm in Shrewsbury. I got bought the 2000AD annual as a kid and was hooked.
"I AM THE LAW"
- Judge Dredd
yOu BEtrAyEd dA lAw!!!
"I AM THE SENATE"
- Palpy
"I AM THE LAWN!.. Ooh..."
- The Provost Marshall
I'M SPARTACUS!!!!
- Not Spartacus
"I am inevitable"
Karl Urban is fecking awesome, In this and as Butcher, he plays the hard arse better than any other, more gritty, less cheese. Full props to the lad and and everyone else involved with this film. Top notch.
We deserved a sequel to this movie. It's SO badass, and it made me respect Karl Urban even more! :D
Sidenote: with that voice of his, I could accept him as Sam Fisher in the Splinter Cell movie....
This is absolutely one of my favourite films. Stalone was NOT Dredd. Urban totally IS.
I remember getting the very first 2000AD and read it for many years. This film really is Judge Dredd as I imagined it. Plus it's git a kick ass soundtrack and the action scenes are brilliant.
The absolute delight in your voice when you said, "Bellywheel!" made my day.
One of the best but most underrated movies ever.
Cinema Sins: They haven't made a sequel to Dredd
*Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding*
I was getting a huge sense of deja vu because I felt sure I’d seen this before but then I realized it was a (much welcomed) re upload.
Love your channel and keep up the good work
Anderson was so hot in this movie, she'd make the perfect Samus if they ever did a Metroid Prime movie
She's too short. Samus is supposed to be 6'2".
@@GoblinKnightLeo yeah and wolverine is 5' 3" yet no one complained about Jackman being too tall lol.
There are so many techniques that can make Olivia Thibly taller in a film. Practical and fx.
@@darknes2742 A tall Samus is a better Samus tho
Too short? Sooooooo Gwendoline Christie???
Thanks for this. You hit EVERY point I'd have made about this fantastic movie and revealed some things I missed in the probably 15 times I watched Dredd. Well done !
We need a Dredd 2
One thing you glossed over was also the interrogation room scene when Anderson is asked to show off her skills. How she starts to read Dredd. How she is delving deeper into his mind and as she gets into the deep portion. She's reading that Dredd is a clone (which she doesn't realize). Mind you at this point in his career only a handful of people know this, and this maybe around the time that Rico, the brother Dredd was arrested. She's sensing it through his buried memories.
I have always said this movie is an unrecognized gem of its genre. I was so disappointed that there was never a sequel. thanks for the video.
I LOVE this movie, Karl Urban smashes this role to pieces and I appreciate your passion for these unsung classics. Thank you for re-uploading this video, I got mostly through it before I realized I'd seen this before lol
Excellent work, as always.
I didn't know about the possibility of a TV show instead of a sequel, but I would be *super* on board with that. 100%.
I also really like when the blast doors in the roof open up and the light comes in, but you see it from the ground floor so it looks like an explotion
Loved this movie, such a shame it “flopped”, great stuff.
Thank you re-upping this. Dredd is my favorite movie for the subtext and the marriage of personal change through a single story arc. I enjoyed your new tweaks as well as some of your thoughts truly never occurred to me. Yup, i think i'll watch it again. Good video mate!
I did my part, but alas, I'm only one person. Saw it in the theater, recommended it to everyone I know, bought the blu-ray on release. Great work all around. Sad it won't get the sequel it deserves.
This is one of those amazing flicks that never got proper promotion or theatrical release. It's something you come across on a Friday night while browsing some "On Demand" channel. After watching it you can't comprehend how exactly you got through life without previously experiencing such a great work of art.
Dredd is basically Dirty Harry Callahan in an ultra violent cyberpunk dystopia.
The best Line for Anderson is "I already picked up the fail when I lost my gun." That is a TRUE Win.
Perfect timing, I just watched this film recently!
10:25: There is no exit wound. The bullet goes through the wall (most of the hole is from plaster around it getting ground up), through the backside of Dredd's vest (which would stop fragments from the wall, I'd imagine) and then gets stuck failing to penetrate through the front side of his vest.
Please do everything great about tombstone, easily one of the best western movies ever and one of my favorite movies of all time
A fan of 2000AD and this is an awesome interpretation of the source. It is also nice to see some of the areas are straight from the comic, an example is where the van crashes
The ogs realize that this is a re-upload and that the end is the only thing changed
True
i was very confused
Still watched it again. Loved the film, loved the wins, figured it deserves the views 😊
he added a few lines, like mentioning that Gavin worked on the slow motion scenes
I had never read any dredd comics before I saw this movie now I watch it like every 4 months this is such a fantastic movie
This was an amazing movie. I agree that a Netflix series would work really well.
This film is only bettered in 3-D and through a soundbar, especially that scene with the three mini guns.
Yes it needs, deserves a sequel even karl urban still calls for one.
I skipped this one in the theater after having PTSD from the OG Dredd and its lack of... authenticity?
Karl Urban was a relative unknown to me at the time as well, but hes now one of my favorite actors. How many other actors would have agreed to NOT show their face for an entire movie to keep things real??
Lena wasnt a draw for me at the time, and I WAS a bit 'action movie'd out.
Still wish I saw it in the theater. 50 inch just doesnt do er justice! (pun most definitely intended)
I wish more people gave 2000AD a chance. Our comics might not be as popular but they have just as good writing and art. I think what makes Dredd such a good character is because he's an anti-hero, he obeys and upholds the law even when it's wrong.
It looks like Constantine may be getting a sequel so there's always hope
I LOVE this movie and it was this movie that made me realise that Karl Urban is criminally underrated, he is absolutely brilliant at everything he does and Dredd is such an under appreciated movie.
For me, Judge Dredd goes into the same category as Rorschach in Watchmen; his sense of right and wrong is black and white. Either you are innocent, or you are guilty, and if the punishment for your crime is death, then it is death. No negotiation, no compromise and he will literally die to fulfill that duty. In a way it is an admirable quality.
This is one of the best CinemaWins videos, some serious love was put into this one
100% Dredd has no arc. He does not bend. He does not break. He does not falter. He does not scream, lament or shudder. He is unrelenting. A manifest of absolute purpose. To execute the law. A paragon of consistency.
Really encourage you to do a vid on Legends of the guardians owls gahoole, it’s so underrated!
Something cool that most don't recognize is when MaMa dies, the blood splatter makes the "X" shape on the Judges helmets.
Thank you for this. Dredd didn't get the attention it deserved at the time. Think you can do Fury Road sometime?
Your wish has been granted!
I'm no Dredd expert either, but I was there, in every issue of 2000AD, during my formative years. Thank you for remembering that this movie is an homage to those comics.
Watching this movie in the theaters back in the day with two of my best mates is one of my most rewarding movie theater experience in my life.
Didn’t mention that Anderson is carrying her helmet at the end as she’s heading back out on patrol.
Great video- thx
I'm not even remotely upset this is the only Dredd we've gotten lately, it was fantastic from start to finish.
This will always be a film and soundtrack that my brother and i will always bond over, and insist on watching over christmas when we have a whole day of just watching the tele.
This was a truly awesome movie, perfectly done. Karl Urban nailed it.
Comic Dredd isn't as unchangeable as people pretend. There are little glimpses.
He once let some petty criminals go free because it was Christmas.
I'll never quite give up hope that Dredd might eventually get a Netflix or Prime show - with Karl Urban at the helm. This film was incredible. Urban was made for this role.
I grew up on 2000AD. Dredd, Halo Jones, Etc. Are home. This is the only adaptation of a comic book that felt like the comic that is important to me.
"It's called checks and balances"
Man, what a week to bring that up. Damn shame.
Seriously, your work is needed. Thank you!
This reminded me that "Everything Great about Annihilation" is still outstanding! ^_^ Whenever you feel inspired to do it, I will greatly appreciate it.
Meh, that movie took a great premise and criminally wasted it trying to be too avant garde and too stylistic.
It was a brilliant 200ad adaption as ever. Also 'Chopper for Oz'
You missed the part where Mama's blood made a judge helmet symbol when she hit the ground.
Hector Barrera It did? I missed that as well.
@@Yggdrasil42 no it didn't, dude needs glasses
Very acute. I always thought that's actually the most important visual clue in the whole movie. Help establish Dredd and Mama as polar opposites and, in a way, complementary.
Karl Urban did an amazing job with this iteration of Dredd
For anyone curious, Dredd is pretty much the definition of Lawful Neutral.
@ 10:30 yeah no, anytime a bullet passes through something it will effect its trajectory and speed it will start to tumble at some point and Kevlar is designed to stop bullets so even a rifle round is going to have some effect imparted on it. If it even starts to tumble in the smallest bit it will definitely leave a larger exit.
