    I respect any actor who can forgo the actor trap of narcissisim and resist the urge to show their face. Double respect for an actor who can deliver a top-notch performance with a bucket on his head with the note 'scowl harder' taped to the inside.

    Karl Urban said in an interview. “I say this hypothetically. If I went to a movie called Judge Dredd and the lead actor at one point took off his helmet so we could see his full face I would just puke in my popcorn because that’s not Dredd. He is mysterious and enigmatic. We’re doing it right, it’s gonna be harder, grittier and above all faithful to the comic. It’s gonna kick ass.” Yes it did Mr Urban and us Dredd Fans appreciate you for performance.

    I still think getting a little more character development on MaMa would've been nice.. but I guess in the end she didn't matter. Like Dredd said, she's a common criminal. Even if she thinks she's a bigshot, even if she's the boss of this megablock.. in the grand scheme of things she's just another criminal. just another target for Dredd to take out.
    They should've made a sequel. The cinematography, the direction, the acting, the writing, the faithfullness to the comics.. everything was excellent. I feel the reason this didn't do so great in the boxoffice is that they felt it needed to be packaged with the 3D gimmick that people have already gotten tired of. In theatres, it wasn't "Dredd", it was "Dredd 3D". Just that alone probably pushed a bunch of people away because when you throw the gimic in to the title it gives the impression they're just trying to rely on the 3D aspect for the movie to actually be entertaining.. wich with Dredd was certainly not the case.
