😭 they prolly aint gonna make a sequel cause ppl dont get what a real comic book movie supposed 2 be .. just like Punisher WarZone
@ReelRejects Just gonna say it Karl urban doesn’t get enough credit as Dredd
Also I think Karl urban would be cool as either Batman or a proper doomguy and I say proper cuz he sorta played in early 2000 doom movie 😅
Right now he’s Billy Butcher in the boys and he’s great
One of my favorite movies of all time! 😠[Dredd mouth]
They’ve talked about a sequel series forever and I think that suits me better
Movie fact: Karl Urban did remove his mask cause like always he made himself intimate with the source material. And in the comics Dredd never removes his mask and a lot of the panels contain reflection shots of his visor so he wanted that included in the movie
Dredd had no business being this good but we're all grateful for it.
Don’t even mind we didn’t get a sequel as it’s a prime example of a proper comic adaptation. Just wish they could’ve worked the ABC robots in somehow but it’s all good. One nice aspect of the Stallone version was the robot.
WRONG It had EVERY REASON to be good and is f'n IS
@@noneed4me2n7 The one thing the Stallone version got right was the visuals of the comic book, but Dredd 2012 was better all around.
Agree 100% 2000AD deserves so much more love and, one day, I dream of movies of ABC Warriors, Nemesis the Warlock & Slaine.
@@TachiUk A legit Rogue Trooper movie would be badass too.
And unlike Stallone, Urban didn't feel the need to take his helmet off so everyone knew it was him
Such a fantastic film.
Urban is incredible and I’m eternally grateful to him for this perfect portrayal of the character.
He also had control of his ego to not remove his helmet
@@cptmaxsonactually if im nit mistaken that was one of the requirements for him to be Dredd.
@@singularleaf3895 we all know some actors wouldnt do it if thats true, so still, props to him for even agreeing nonetheless
I saw this in the cinema in 3D, and the SloMo effects were spectacular. I beyond love this film. Just so epic
The effect was brilliant in 3D, and one of the few movies that benefited from it.
@@stuartspencer2161 it was shot in proper 3D (2 cameras) rather than converted after the fact, which is why it looks so amazing. Jackass 3D also used proper 3D and phantom cameras, and looked similarly (yet completely differently) awesome.
This was 3D ? Oh man..........how I wish I can go back.
One of the best 3D films. Only ever watch in 3D
@@vishnunair7623 I watched the 3d on blu-ray on psvr after watching it in pancake mode. the slo-mo clearing the room sequence had me reaching for the sick bag.
Dredd is basically unstoppable, a force of nature. It's totally in character for you to not fear for him. You're supposed to fear for everyone else around him
For sure. Anytime the Mama gang went up against Dredd, my first thought is how is in what awesome way is Dredd going to fuck this group up.
Karl Urban killed it in the role too, his performance is never over the top, he really nailed Dredd: he shows up, he cites the law, he passes judgement, he states the sentence, he executes it, job done. No more, no less
"You gotta problem with a Judge, you know who he is?"
As a longterm fan of the comics, Dredd is the cornerstone for the setting more than a character. Dredd will never die. Dredd has no character growth. He's a narrative constant and the best stories happen around him, to other characters. Those characters can have finite arcs. They can die, very easily. The stakes are real, anything can happen to them because Dredd takes the structural weight of the comic allowing the rest of the characters to be freed from protagonism.
@@AnonEyeMouse And from what I can remember, he actually ages in real time. So one of his comics from 20 years ago, he is actually 20 years younger. The cryosleep or whatever process he goes into when he is off-duty keeps him healthy. So I would imagine if he actually did die, that would be the end of the Dredd comics (canon-wise at least, I'm sure he would probably be revived or come back somehow).
The budget for Dredd was about 45 million, and it made 41 million at the box office. Being a 3D movie was also why the whole "slo mo" effects were made that way, it was pretty impressive to watch on the big screen..
Another reason it didn't do so well was because cause it was released during the 3D movie craze when everything was 3D. People just saw it as a gimmick film and largely ignored it, also wasn't seen as a serious movie because of Stallone's version
It really was, best 3d ive ever seen.
My first 3D movie the depth in many shots and the details just on a characters face .. Loved it
@@ghostmkc4045 one of my top 3 3D films for sure, but sadly was released when everyone was burned out from the 3D technology cause it was so poorly done in other flims
Avatar 2009....first and last time I saw a movie in 3D in the theater.
Dredd casually throwing her right-hand man off the balcony after all of that gun fire is one of my favourite moments.
This is one of my favourite movies. I absolutely love it and have watched it so many times. The fact that we never got a sequel is criminal
Just be glad that they did not get a chance to fuck it up either with an bad sequal.
This movie is the grandaddy of underappreciated remakes. It goes BIBLICALLY hard. And I agree, Lena Headey's performance of Ma-Ma was awesome. No cliche angry villain, no extended "the city will be mine" monologues. Just a psychopathic relentless businesswoman cold enough to make Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones look like the teacher from Matilda.
Love you guys and finally THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO THIS! There are not enough Dredd reactions on youtube. Not by a long shot.
Very underappreciated.
Yeah, she was really a great villain. Just so direct and violent - a real prison-yard predator who is so beyond giving a fuck that she has no fear.
Love the sentiment, but it isn't a remake.
"Long shot" ({*activated*}). Pew pew pew. :)
@@HappyCynic reimagining? Doing a proper adaptation? Seeing will it work without Stallone's codpiece? ;)
I remember being blown away by this movie. Went in with low expectations. Boy was I wrong lol
One of the best things I liked was even though I knew who was behind the mask, he never takes it off. He takes the mask off early but his face is covered in shadow. He isn’t just a man in a uniform… he is DREDD.
Did you see it in 3D?
I got blown while I was watching this movie.
@@eatsmylifeYTwhat was his name?
@@SPPTA I don't know, but I think he's a part-time amateur.
My wife and I did our part. We paid to go see it in the theaters and we bought it on Amazon, too. I sure hope they make a sequel.
At 22:00 When you said they need him alive for the confession? No they don't. A Judge is just that. A Judge. The confession has already been heard in what passes for a court of law in Mega City One. He has already weighed the evidence and passed judgement. That's the entire point of Mega City's justice system. Crime and punishment was happening at a rate and sophistication that the justice system you and I are familiar with was no longer up to the task. Judge's were empowered to enforce the law AND act as the judiciary. When Dredd says we go on the attack because "Well. She's guilty. We're Judges." That is literally the legal system handing down its judgement.
Judge Dredd's legendary statement, " I AM the law!" is literally true. Judge. Jury and, if necessary, executioner.
So glad you enjoyed the movie. For many of us in the UK, 2000AD was our domestic counterpart of Marvel & DC. Though not as broadly popular. Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, A.B.C Warriors etc were as dear to our hearts as Captain America, The Hulk, Superman etc were to American audiences.
This film was, really, Alex Garlands first directorial feature, before ex machina. After writing the film to be his first directed feature, the studio didn’t want to let him direct for his lack of experience, so hired another director. That director even knew “I’m just here for the paperwork & studios worries, this is really YOU’RE movie. You direct”. Since then Karl Urban has been vocal about how this truly is Garlands film.
I've rewatched this a few times and never knew that until you and Greg brought it up! Makes so much sense.
Unfortunate that you used the wrong "your" in all caps
Well, he's listed as an uncredited director on Wikipedia and other sites..
@@j0hn00 why? Did you know what they meant? Is it uncommon for even the most skilled writers to make mistakes? Are typos not extremely common? How about you stfu and stop being a grammar nazi online.
11 years later, I'm still waiting for the sequels. And yes, this is Alex Garland's movie. One of the most criminally underrated sci-fi action comic book adaptation of the past 20 years.
DREDD would probably be portrayed as a powerful Asian woman. With an obese and pregnant sidekick, struggling through their secret love, hating the brutality of their jobs, and trying to take down the Justice Systems in part two: DREDD Two + 1: Oppressive 4Life.
German subtitle: a strong mother fighting hell on earth.
@@notjustforme8857and whether or not to get an abortion right? Lol
@@notjustforme8857 The incel energy is strong with you... Go outside.
I just noticed, when he's dealing with his bullet wound he's acting like he's doing a demonstration lol. "Open the quick release flap on your medkit, remove the first tool and cauterize the affected area""
This movie will forever be criminally underrated! Very few movies deserve a sequel as much as this Dredd!
I get from a movie perspective wanting Dredd to be in jeopardy but as an old school 2000AD fan I love that they stayed true to the source materials Dredd doesn't fear dying he fears failing in his duty. So in the comic's the criminals harming civilians or escaping is usually the source of tension. Dredd is so feared that most criminals run for their lives as soon as he's spotted only the most psychotic burnt out nutter's try to fight.
I watched Stallone's Dredd back in the day. It was corny. Then I watched this one in the theaters and was blown away! A couple years ago I did a spring cleaning of my closet and come to find out, after saving tons of comics from the 80's and 90's.... I have lots of Judge Dredd comics! I never realized it! This movie is really true to the comics!
I also loved how Anderson was rebellious and quirky, just as she should have been... but tough as nails in her own way.
THIS "Dredd doesn't fear dying he fears failing in his duty" !!!!
Except in this movie no one knows who Dredd is.
Dredd is a great movie and a great adaptation of the comics. The fact that they didn't back off the gore and grit of megacity one. All the actors are just brilliant. Can we please get a Dredd series.
And Urban demanded to leave the helmet on.
@@nielsjensen4185 made the movie 100% better for it
Yes a series would be better than a trilogy except movies get bigger budgets and for this world you may need that budget this isn't Daredevil and Hell's Kitchen that was on Netflix
That movie is the best. In the graphic novels, dredd never takes it off, and Urban wanted to do the same.
Your reaction to " I am the law" was pure joy. Thanks for the video
It’s a shame they never made a sequel. It was so good and stylized.
On the other hand: considering how many sequels fail to capture the magic of the original it's probably for the best that this is a stand-alone movie.
@Jigsaw407 If they would've kept the same director they would've been fine
PSI Judge Anderson is from the original comics as well. She’s even had her own series at points. Great reaction!
Her appearance is based on Blondie's singer Debbie Harry
@@axlm.808oh that’s awesome
Could you imagine their reaction if Judge Death entered the movie!!
God if she'd been the 2010's April O'Neil....
I remember seeing this in theaters. I loved it so much. But it came and went so unceremoniously. It was so nice to see people who appreciated it as much as I did.
I’m really surprised it didn’t succeed on word of mouth, cause after I saw it, I told everyone I knew what a great film it was.
Saw this and Looper the same day. This was by far better.
Same, when i saw it I told so many people that they should go see it. But no one was interested enough, and still many I bring it up around (when talking about great movies) even remember it. The marketing must have been terrible.
When I watched it in theatres, it was absolutely empty. I believe there were 3-4 other people besides myself and my mate. The movie was great, but crazy how timing works. It's release being in the summer when the Marvel Universe was top dog and still good.
It's sad thing how many people slept on this great comic's film adaptation. (And personally my first comic).
@@mattymac2733 Being rated-R didn’t help it either. Didnt have that clean Disney sheen on it. It was gritty and grimy. Not something you take the family to.
Was super nervous about this one... but then it turned out to be ridiculously awesome. The overblown comic book violence with the slow mow giving you those comic book frames of blood splatter... and then adding that slow-mo hazy sparkle to it. Beautiful violence is exactly what it is. And Karl Urban being so completely dead pan, he's seen it all, nothing shocks him, is perfect. It's exactly what Dredd should be. And yes, this movie needs a God damn sequel. Lena Heady is absolutely terrifying as Mama. The shot is quick, so you may not have caught it, but it's her using her thumbs to destroy Domnhall Gleeson's eyes and then she has the cyber eyes put in so he can do the hacking stuff for her.
Love this movie, Olivia Thirlby was also great as Judge Anderson. In an alternate universe we have a series of both Dredd and Anderson centric films, as well as other 2000AD IP like Strontium Dog, Slaine and Absalom (the Mashed RUclips channel did a great animated short called Fight Night last year)
I want a sequel to this so badly. I may want this sequel more than any other. This movie is brilliant.
Verily, I doth agree
Ron Swanson as Judge Dredd.
April Ludgate as Judge Anderson.
@@MrVvulfYou are a brilliant mad scientist.
Ive heard Karl Urban is working on a sequelk
For years I have been begging people to watch this film. Underrated film by an underrated creator Alex Garland. Pete Travis is credited as the director but it was revealed that Garland basically directed it. He also wrote the screenplay.
Same. Its a bit like I keep telling pp they have to play Titanfall 2 for its campaign. Most ppl don't, but those that do absolutely love that game.
What a lot of people miss is when Mama's face hits the ground her blood sprays out into an X. This is such a great movie! We need part two NOW!!!
As a fan of the comics I love this film, it nails the tone of the world and the character of Dredd. Two other films were planned, the second was going to be based on the origins of the judges and the nuclear war. The third film was going to be about the Dark Judge, which is where the the comics go a little more into supernatural horror. The reason why these didn't go ahead is mainly down to bad marketing.
The 4 judges of the apocalypse would be great!!
Bring on judge Death.
@@geeebuttersnap2433 love judge death!!
For some reason the more subdued "I am the law" from this movie hits harder than the more bombastic one from Stallone. That one felt like your standard badass one-liner, this one feels like an statement of fact.
LMAO
Yeah. This wasn’t Dredd. This was the system. Dredd an avatar of something larger and implacable. It’s terrifying as much as anything because you know the system doesn’t care about you even if it’s protecting you right now.
My friend Robert was one of the two costume designers for this. He helped come up with a more realistic take on the iconic costume. "Key principal costumer, Rob Allsopp, and Michael O'Connor always aimed to make the Dredd costume believable, but functional. The zippers had to be the right kind of metal zippers that you would find on a real motorcycle jacket. The leather used on the gloves had to be a certain weight and quality. The boots had to allow movement, but still give protection."
Awesome. So many details I've only caught on multiple viewings. His gloves are amazing.
Funny, when I first saw the trailer, I hated the look of Dredd. But after seeing the movie.... it's so damn good! Loved every aspect this movie had! THIS MOVIE DESERVES A SEQUEL! Someone needs to start a petition to get the ball rolling!
One of the most, if not THE most underrated movie of 2012, and probably the last decade. This thig still a masterpiece.
Y'know, Urban said that the deep gravelly voice he used to play Dredd was like "a saw cutting through bone" and it was really hard for him to keep it up.
This is one of the greatest underrated movies of all time. It is so much better than I ever expected. Even if I went into this with high hopes it would have still outperformed them. This movie is just so well done and I love it. Plus it's also one of the 3D movies that actually has PHENOMENAL 3D visuals. So glad you wound up watching this and how you embraced the 'realism' with the gore. The Stallone 'Judge Dredd' movie is stupid fun, but this one is a legit GOOD movie.
I still have the 3d dvd of this.
Karl Urban such an underrated actor.... He needs.. we need a Dredd sequel with him. Also suggested movies for future watching/reaction are The Crow stars the late brandon lee and the rocketeer and the Mask. C'mon guys, earlier 90's comic book films also had it's moments. WOuld love to see you guys watch/react those films.
Not only does it NEED a sequel....I'm 75% sure that Karl himself WANTS a sequel!
One of the things that Dredd is known for: He NEVER removes his helmet in the comics. Also, he is known to be uncompromising and tough. Not like in a Stallone way.. more like teak. He almost never struggles in a way that he needs to fight through anything.
I personally want to see some of the stories from the comics actually made in to movies. Like the Judge Death story lines.
This is criminally underrated. They should have made a sequel straight after this.
Apparently Gavin from Slowmo Guys was involved in the making of these slowmo shots. There weren't that many people who had experience with Phantom cameras back in 2012. He was involved with other movies as well, which I can't remember now.
That's cool, I could see that.
I'm pretty sure he was also involved in the Sherlock Holmes movies (with R. Downey Jr.) as well.
Just the forrest scene from second one from memory
@@mattew0113 That was an epic scene, very cool. I figured most of it was CGI.
a few other shots i wish they got more credit for but i remember when dredd came out and no one believed that he was a part of the production lol
I HIGHLY recommend watching "RAID" - both movies have incredible choreography and brutal fights/deaths
YES
agreed
Don't know about Coy, but Greg and John reviewed both movies nearly 10 years ago.
@@zuriyel5368 - Just checked and you're right !
Still, would be cool to see what others think of both of those movies
It was also shot off an early version of the script for this movie that leaked whilst they were trying to arrange funding.
And yeah you're right; Ma-Ma was a brutal sociopath and a real villian, but she was also a tragic character, abused by the system. I credit both the script and the amazing acting of Heady for that. She really did an amazing job. All the cast did, really.
Probably the most criminally underrated movie in recent years. the other big one being John Carpenter's The Thing. Both have massive followings now, and a lot of people have been constantly pushing for a sequel to Dredd to be made for the last 11 years. it's slowly getting there. i hope it happens. One of the few flawless films to ever be made, and Dredd himself is far more interesting than any DC or Marvel could ever hope to be, he goes through a lot of development in the comics. if this movie came out a year or two later, it most likely would have done incredibly well, as the last obnoxious decade of Marvel movies started the year after this released. Glad you guys loved it.
FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC!
One of the best reactions either of you has ever done. YES this movie needs a sequel.... we NEED to see JUDGE DEATH on screen.
It would follow the original comic series and feature the return of Judge Anderson.
Let's start writing letters.... it needs to happen.
Judge Death and all the other dark Judges would be INCREDIBLE!!!!!
demon judges from a hell dimension probably a tough sell in this gritty realistic world. better they leave that for another interpretation of the material.
I was half expecting the plan to be for the four corrupt Judges to somehow become the four Dark Judges.
Apparently there's a toy figurine of Judge Death in the van at the beginning of the movie.
You probably know already, but Dredd 2 was supposed to feature Judge Death.
My favorite part of the movie:
- "What happened in there?"
- "Drug bust."
As wild as the movie is, it's just another Tuesday. It's gonna be just like this tomorrow.
Such great world-building in a single exchange of dialogue.
I'm so glad you guys loved. This movie is so true to the comics. I just wished they made a sequel. Would have love to see The cursed earth or Judge Death story lines in a movie.
The plan was for Judge Cal and Judge Death to be the second and third Dredd movies. Karl even offered to fund them, but no studios wanted it. Kinda sad. There was even a plan to sell a Netflix series and remake this one as a season, then Cal for Season 2, then Death for Season 3.
@@AdeptusCaeiusIII Judge Cal would have been fun. Oh well let keep those fingers crossed and hope we can get more Dredd content.
It's really not that true to the comics at all. I still liked it a lot, but it's not like the comic.
Fun fact, there was a film called The Raid that can out weeks before this. Was a Asian film about a special forces group trying to arrest a gang leader from a block of flats. So unfortunately people said this was just a sci-fi version of that. I went to the cinema to see this and it was amazing, you can keep your MCU id pick this any day. Karl Urban also said he would of done a second film too but the film company's didn't. So sad Karl is fantastic as Dredd.
Karl Urban's best work imo. This deserves a sequel/series. Its a great gritty movie that prove you don't need tons of CGI to be an incredible movie. Easily one of my all time favorites.
I love to watch anything that he’s in. I thought he did an awesome job in Red as well.
The slo-mo bullet wounds were shot by filming the actors being blasted with compressed air in slow motion and then adding the bullets and blood with CGI.
That’s genius.
My favorite part of this movie is Urban's Dredd being absolutely _made_ of one-liners that feel straight out of a comic panel.
This movie is BY FAR the most underrated dystopian Sci-Fi ever made! I love it!
The acting was phenomenal! The effects, costumes and cinematography was otherworldly!
It’s a crime this didn’t get a sequel, I’m sad that 3D TVs aren’t exactly a thing anymore as I have this on 3D Blu-Ray but nonetheless this movie still holds up to this day!
Yeah, it was largely killed because they originally only released it in 3d (iirc). Couldn't see it at release if you didn't have one local.
The 3d on this movie is sooo goood, also mis my 3d tv
What do you get when you mix The Raid + Die Hard together? You get DREDD! One of the best movie ever made, they got Dredd right so well with this and then...we got nothing afterwards. We should have gotten a trilogy damn it. There's still hope...rumours about a series with Karl Urban coming back have been making the rounds for the last 2 or 4 years now. Fingers Crossed. He and this movie deserve it.
If any film deserves a sequel, this is it.
I would say The Raid + Robocop
Even though The Raid came out first, it's actually a rip-off. The director had started working on this first and then left and basically made his own version of it with The Raid. The Raid only released first because of the production delays with Dredd.
Yep, the Raid is a rip off, Dredd was in production 2 years before Raid, Dredds script got leaked online and lo and behold Raud scrapped what was made, completely restarted and rushed out their film.
I've loved Robocop since it came out but it's always been a rip off of Judge Dredd and the Raid is just a rip off of this film.
Lena heady is such a good villain in this movie, really shows how much of presence she can command on screen. very underrated movie, or like a cult classic at this point.
The best movie that never had any success that it deserved. Finding this in the theatre literally felt like discovering a pirate's hidden treasure. When you see those mounted guns firing across the courtyard the first time it's just visceral, reflected diametrically when Dredd fires the incendiary round across the same view. Just brilliant cinematography.
Watching this in cinemas was a GEM!
Karl Urban absolutely demolished this role!!!!!!! Still hoping for a sequel with the same judges, this world is too amazing to just leave at one movie. And for action movies to watch, Demolition Man for good 80's and Stallone acting and any Jackie Chan movie especially Mr Nice Guy and Who am I? Two of my favorite Jackie Chan movies
If you love the world there's 45 years of comics, books, videogames and graphic novels out there.
Demolition Man is from 1993
@@lastudentessawas about to say this 😂 don't know where he got the 80s from
What I loved about this movie is by the end you realize, you just watched this universe's origin story for Hershey. When they flip that badge over and you see her name. I couldn't do anything but smile and clap. I don't know why I guess I just wasn't paying attention at the beginning, but it got nailed home when you see her last name on the badge.
Dredd and Master and Commander. Incredible films and it's an absolute tragedy they didn't get sequels.
This was one of the few movies that came out during the 3D craze after Avatar that actually used the 3D elements in a beautiful and awesome way. It was amazing to see in the theater.
One thing I like about this movie is this is just an ordinary day for Dredd. Tomorrow he'll be in the middle of another insane action story and it'll also just be another day on the job.
I’ve watched this film countless times & I never get tired of it. You find out small new details/things every time. One of my favourite films.
I saw this in 3D at the cinema. Was stunning. That final scene with Ma Ma falling under the influence of SloMo absolutely blew my mind.
I like that he mentions the architecture since that style is actually called Brutalism. the Slow-mo also feels like it takes from that episode of the cowboy bebop anime where they deal with a drug called red eye. that heightens perception but made everyone else look slow while increasing reaction time.
The only movie I've ever see that was actually enhanced by being shown in 3d
My brother has been wanting a sequel for this movie since it came out. He's given copies of this film to everyone he knows who loves films, it's his go-to gift.
I loved this film, saw it twice in the theater; it really did deserve a sequel.
I love this film, I own this film and I watch it multiple times every year since its release. One of the best Graphic Novel adaptations!
You have the 3D version?
Fun fact: The Techie dude was played by Domhnall Gleeson, known for playing General Hux and Bill Weasley. He's the son of Brendan Gleeson, who played Mad Eye Moody
Yeah. Props to these guys for being among the few reactors to notice that was him when he first shows up.
This was SUCH a great (and massively under-appreciated) movie! Thanks for bringing it to more people's attention.
Not only is the cinematography great, but holy CRAP the sound design is just phenomenal!
This movie Dredd and The Nice Guys are my top two movies that deserve sequels the most
Lena heady's performance is amazing and it came mid game of thrones too which usually isnt a good indicator for performaces especially as the actor doent usually have that much time in between shooting to properly get into character .
the slo mo scenes are absolutely BONKERS in 3D, seeing that in theaters was awesome
I really feel like Karl Urban doesn't get the credit he deserves from a lot of people, I've loved him in every role I've seen him in.
This movie was filmed with 3D digital HD cameras.They even used a new 3d hand held camera specifically designed for close-ups. I saw it in the theater in 3D and it was absolutely amazing! The slow mo scenes, especially Mama in the bathtub looked unreal! Also, when the Mama clan kills the three drug dealers, the bodies land near Karen (lady with the baby carriage), who was the same woman who's apartment they hid in and who's husband Anderson killed.
Phantom cameras were used for all the slow motion shots. There's a whole behind the scenes thing on the DVD commentary. Really interesting.
It’s worth noting that this was released in 3D in theaters, which was amazing
This movie is visually stellar in 3D, especially the 'slow-mo' drug scenes. It is high on the list of under-known movies. It is really one of the best action movies of the last 20 years.
Its an incredibly understated film that is becoming a classic in its own right.
Thanks for letting me re-live one of the greatest action films ever made. Hollywood + Mr Urban should have made 10 of these.
I feel like Karl Urban is so underrated. He is so good in this role as well as many others.
Dredd is one of Urban's best roles.
This movie had the best-executed 3D I've ever seen. It was jaw-dropping in the theater, especially the early scene where Dredd and Anderson raid the apartment.
It's a crime this masterpiece didn't get a sequel. That's 20 years in the iso-cubes, mandatory.
Since it's been over 10 years, whatever studio execs nixed the sequel need to go straight to recyc.
This is one of those movies that looked incredible in 3D in the cinema! I didn't really know what I was in for at the time (I hadn't even seen the first one at the time), but I was thoroughly impressed!
This, Avatar and Tron: Legacy were pretty much the only films to ever really use the 3d the way it was meant to be used, not as a gimmick, but to just give the world actual depth.
@@mycroft16 They were both great in 3D but not nearly the only ones. Avatar (and way of water) and Gravity are the two that must be seen in 3D. But there are plenty of others that are notably better in 3D like Dr. Strange and Pacific Rim along with a number of animated movies like How to Train Your Dragon.
BTW, I saw this twice at the cinema in 3D and the 3D shots are truly the best 3D that I've ever seen. They are used sparingly and only for the slow-mo shots. If you think that the scene with Ma-Ma in the bath with all those individual water droplets catching the light, looked great in 2D, it was stunningly beautiful in 3D. Same with the throwing her through the window scene.
They also used it occasionally to give a real sense of depth to the plaza of Peachtrees like when the blast roof closed it really felt distant. Amazing work.
@@scottkirby5016 I don't remember bit, but it sounds right. Truly, this is the only 3d film that I've ever seen that I thought used 3d as more than just a gimmic.
Karl freaking Urban, man....
from soap opera boy doll, to fantasy knight, to space doctor, to policeman... that guy literally goes places.
I was lucky enough to see this in 3D in the cinema. The last slow mo scene where Lena fell had me climbing up the back of the seat. It was a beautifully shot, brilliant film. It is a crime that it didn't get a sequel. Karl Urban is the finest chin actor I have ever seen.
I bought the bluray years ago in a Walmart bargain bin...i didn't realize, or care, that it had a 3d bluray in it. Found out my refurbished projector had 3d...watched it in 3d...fantastic.
This is one of those movies that i can watch over and over and still enjoy evey minute of it. Its as close to a perfect movie as you can get.
I really want a sequel. Immensely. This movie is incredible. The setting. The styling and environment. The brutality and raw nature. And most importantly, Karl Urban. Tremendous actor.
"She's a pass" almost made me cry in theatres haha
This has been one of my fave moments & when I officially fell in love with Karl Urban- so when I saw you’d watched Judge Dredd- it was soooo comically inaccurate - cos sly wouldn’t keep his helmet on- Karl Urban is GORGEOUS but had enough respect for the source material to not only keep his helmet on the entire movie - he conveys so much using just the lower part of his face & his voice 💯❤️🩹
Also the shots where they’re taking Slo-Mo are BEAUTIFUL- wait for the climax lads you’re gonna have nipple chills - full body goosebumps- so happy to see y’all watching this version thank you for your content - much love from a UK comic geek 💯😜🫶🏼
I also have the Dredd DC comics & LOVE KARL URBAN IN THE BOYS! Another epic DC comics (Garth Ennis is 1 of the BEST Preacher, Constantine, The Boys, some of the Dredd comics & many more) bit of a fan & collect the comics figures etc; I’m basically a 40 yr old kid & I only learnt how much I appreciated & fell in love with comics (Apart from The Crow Graphic Novel & the movie is my fave alltime movie) but from Dredd to Billy Butcher Karl Urban is EPIC AF💯😜
for all its flaws, the stallone movie did throw in some great cameos from characters in comic, the Angel gang and Hammerstien the abc warrior
Karl has said he would have refused the role if they wanted him to take the helmet off. He is a Judge Dredd / 2000AD reader and fan. It goes beyond respect for the source material. He does it the way we want because he is one of us.
Dredd bombed because everyone still remembered the Stallone Dredd. They didn't give it a chance. This movie was so damn good, it should have been nominated for best picture! Mad Max: Fury Road was the same thing... lots of action, lots of violence, and won a ton of Oscars. I wish you two could have seen this movie in 3D. It was one of the most beautiful 3D movies I have ever seen.
One of the most underrated comic book movies of all time and action movies in the last decade
Karl Urban has had some amazing roles. Priest, Chronicles of Riddick, Star Trek, Dredd, The Boyz, Doom... Like, iconic roles too. LotR,
An early film role in Ghost Ship. Pathfinder. So many good movies.
YES!!.
This movie is a cult classic!
Karl Urban based his version of Dredd on Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry.
The film was a critical success, but a box office disappointment making $45 million dollars against a $50 million dollar budget.
There were talks of a Sequel and TV series, JUDGE DREDD: MEGA CITY ONE, but as of 2019, nothing had happened as it may have been shelved.
Dredd, John Wick (Chapter 1 only) and Mad Max Fury Road are my top action films of the 2010s
These guys are the perfect storm of being highly insightful, analytical, great reactors, and they’ve somehow seen no classic sci-fi films!
Dredd is there so the characters around him can have a story without having to be the pressure of needing to be the hero who saves the day. Dredd does not fear death. He's a more down to earth version of the Doomslayer.
One of the most under appreciated movies of all times.
Why has nobody seen this? This was big when it came out around my friends. I saw it in 3D twice
Aw that must’ve been SO DOPE! I have DVD & Digital & this is one of those movies that seems timeless & I can watch it 100s of times & never get bored - not many movies I can say that about kudos dude💯🫶🏼
Urban was perfect. The directors would have had him take his helmet off but he refused. He knew the material. He knew who Dredd was.
The producers always planned for Dredd to keep the helmet on and Karl Urban agreed.
There's a RUclips channel that does a deep dive on this movie and not only talks about the character Arc of Anderson but also of dread because both of them go through a change throughout the film it is really really interesting from a psychological perspective
