While the Judge Dredd movie from 1995 may have gone down in movie history as one of the most spectacular bombs of the last few decades, the source material was rich enough and the fans loud enough that another movie based on the universe was made.. Dredd. They aimed to stick a lot closer to the source material this time around, but there was a problem with this plan. Namely, the studios weren't willing to blow nearly as high a budget on another movie based on the Judge Dredd comics, so fantastical technology, hovercraft and robots went right out the window, as well as most of the other fantastic designs.

WHY ! WHY DID IT BOMB??!! WHY did they have to hire THE WORST PR firm possible!!!
it was the BEST DREDD movie ever made! and it NEEDS a sequel!
Deus Vermiculus agreed this movie really needs a sequel
For the greater glory of the God Emperor of Mankind!
Deus Vermiculus there are only 2 dredd movies lol bit yeah this movie kicked ass & took names but unfortunatly none of them had any cash on them lol plus the 3D best 3d since avatar
Dredd tv show is in development, supposedly.
Because it is a pretty unknown property and for those who do know about it... they remember how bad the 90s film was and didn't trust this one.
John Wagner himself gave this movie his approval and said that Carl Urban made a perfect Judge Dredd.
I have no problem with Karl Urban playing Judge Dredd, I have a problem with the character, as in no character development - - people are tired of all these killing machines
@@Jeffrey314159 Well, that's how Dredd actually is, in the comics, for one. And what people?
@@Jeffrey314159
I think Dredd have a character development. Sure, it isn't big, and it is subtle, but he go from following the law to the letter to pass judge Anderson to whom justice is more important than the letter of the law.
A small recognition that justice and law doesn't nescessarily is the same thing, the circumstamces of the people who do certain things may or even should be counted as a factor.
@@MrDanAng1 Distinction with no difference. He is a sadistic merciless executioner at the beginning of them film, he is a sadistic merciless executioner at the end. All monotone, no doubts, no reflection
@@Jeffrey314159 Of course the distinction make a difference!
And Dredd is not a merciless executioner ever, just highly one sided about the law and live in a society where human lives isn't valued in the same way it is in ours.
I would not say my subjective understanding of the movie is correct, and yours is wrong, but I certainly don't agree so I will not try to change your mind, just point out why I don't agree.
I think that while the Stallone film got the visual style of the comics right, it was still a typical 90s action flick. This film properly captured the comics' tone which can be considered more important; it's not about looking right, rather it's about feeling right.
Adam Stringer The comics are a parody that don't take themselves seriously at all.
Yeah but it's gallows humor not goofball humor.
Stallone know's his audience, and he know's what money is. That being said his version took some turns for the worse (constant helmet removal, romantic elements, silly CGI). The overall branding of Stallone movies can damage them as well, a more muted ad campaign with less romance would have been more pleasing to hardcore fans.
Actually was important to the right balance between the look in the overall story. To get the overall feel just right. Only problem the first one had was they were banking on Stallone's household name. while knowing full well no one knew about the comic series until the movie. And it turned into a generic campy sci-fi Action Movie. While this one bombed because they concentrated too much on thread again the character this time instead of the actor. Where there was barely anything sci-fi about it as a result. What's the end result being a very generic buddy cop movie within a dystopian future with a little tiny bit of Sci-Fi in it.
@@Doctor_Odin Just because there are two cops in it does not make it a "Buddy" Cop film. There needs to be a comedic friendship element that this film lacks.
Dredd does explain to Anderson that they only have the manpower to responded to 6% of calls.
I have to admire that karl urban not only had enough confidence in himself but respect for the source material, that he never removed the helmet. Something other actors or studios would go out of their way to force in often times ruining the feel\flow or at least disappointing fans
Headey and thirlby did really well in it too.
You know, the presence of those four Judges on the take do a lot to explain why Dredd never got called to Peacetree earlier. They likely share jurisdiction for that area, otherwise they couldn't cover for MaMa, and went out of their way to take all the calls for that block while Dredd took more active crimes rather than investigations.
Plus Dredd mentioned earlier in the film that they only had the manpower to deal with 6% or so of the calls they received. MegaCity One is massive and it seems pretty likely that jurisdiction was variable because of how often they'd need to move Judges around or replace lost Judges.
the whole society doesnt have 96% unemployment, just Peach Trees has a 96% unemployment .. she even says "in sector 13" so Peach Trees "has the highest crime rate in sector 13, (and an) unemployment of 96%" in other words its a section 8 housing project .. ...
small quip i have about your review other than that the rest was great and so is this movie
@arbereshe yes but a nerd with a huge penis .. seriously .. its like a baby's arm holding an apple ... i can barely walk with this thing ..
Ken Mabie Good news is, you get tired, you could use it as a kick stand.
@@mylifeisacomplexpastiche7901 life as a human tripod
Your wrong actually, The whole city of megacity one has an unemployment rate of 98%, telling false information is a felon with a term of five years in a iso cell.
@@Historyfan476AD no idiot you are wrong .. it clearly says that Peach Tree's has an unemployment of 98% ..
btw moron its "you're" not "your"
I think the reason people are willing to overlook the aesthetics of the setting not matching the source material is how well the characterization and tone matches it, while the other movie had the inverse - matching aesthetic, but the tone and characterization were wildly different.
You can still do both have the dark tone of the Dredd combined with the unique aesthetic of 2000AD Rogue One and the Mandalorian are great examples bring Star Wars into a more grounded and textured feel. Same with Mega city one itself the 2000AD city looked amazing and would work in the movie if don right.
I liked the look and feel of this heavenly underrated movie. The armor looks like armor, unlike the comic, and it feels like everything could exist with in our current scope of modernism.
biggest problem is it just lacks personally like the armour but everything else is forgettable they had a low budget so it explains why Mega City One and the sets don't look as close to the Comic so they went for a more realistic look. I personally prefer the Comic look its more unique and is filled with character you can make these elements feel more real for example Star Wars is a great example they have a retrofuturism look but still feel real as every elements looks used and dirty that's all you really need to do with Dredd use the comic art style and deigns but add texture and dirt to them.
@@CaptainAmercia true enough. Theres also the "must try to attract the normies" that all these movies have to submit to. Megacity 1 us just so over the top that I doubt any live action movie could truly capture it. For what we got, Dredd is a great interpretation imo.
@@AnimeSquirrel Comic book, Superheroes etc. All these are as big as ever so I can the art style actually being in more people than turning ones off. A Sin City style Dredd movie would be amazing have a very visual movie with the classic costumes and architecture just with a darker tone to it with amazing cinematography and unique shots.
I think the pass/fail criteria that Dredd used for her was his own, not rules set up by their authorities. Ultimately, he determines if she passes or not and so he is just laying out the guidelines for what he feels is acceptable behavior from her. That is why in the end, when Dredd's superior asks if she is a pass or a fail, she doesn't ask for any clarification as to why he made the decision. It wasn't necessary because the decision was his to make based on how he rated her performance by his own standards.
Yeah plus she also saved his life so I'm sure that had a huge part in it.
@@davidarbogast37 I don't think it is. If anything Dredd probably doesn't care. Just like he didn't care about Anderson's powers or the politics behind the choice that the chief was trying to point out to him. Dredd was just being himself and he was probably chosen specifically because of how impartial his choice would be/appear. And it sort of was. Not because he didn't have feelings for how things went, but because he passed her because he thinks she will be good at the job and get things done.
@@LupineShadowOmega well isn't saving lives part of the job, or should be rather? I feel like it had a little bit to do with his decision though because if he didn't care about dying or being saved he probably wouldn't have delayed the person about to shoot him and would have just let the person shoot him.
@@LupineShadowOmega Totally agree.
It was established in the movie, that Anderson has to consciously use her psychic powers, that's why they don't run constantly and she's vulnerable to ambush. Makes sense, too, imagine doing your job while a thousand voices scream in your head.
Dredd told Anderson Losing her ”primary weapon" was an automatic fail. Anderson's primary weapon was her psi powers, which she didn't lose. Plus she saved dredd's ass.
Barack Clinton In a sensible world that would hold up. But Dredd's world is a lot like Mad Max's. Logic isn't exactly abundant.
And they just killed 4 corrupt judges so the fact that she may not be good at her job but at least she's not corrupt may have made the difference.
I think surviving that means you've at least got potential.
As a judge, her primary weapon is her gun, the Lawgiver
@@Jeffrey314159 Be that as it may, that was a clever workaround.
This Dredd was way better than Stallone's version
Monsters Inc. no Stallone is okay but Karl urban was pretty dumb
"Judge Dredd" was much better than "Dredd".
"Judge Dredd" was much better at being a bad film than "Dredd".
Fixed that for you.
Monsters Inc. I know.
There's one thing this Judge Dredd movie never had: RICO.
If I may, I feel the reason Dredd passes Anderson is because unlike the 4 Judges who had power and were corrupted by temptation, Anderson has the temptation to drop the good guy act and stop helping Dredd in taking down the Ma-Ma clan. But she p much said "Screw that. I said I was gonna help make Mega City One a better place and I'm doing that, Judge or not." The other Judges fell into the temptation of money.
In essence, after seeing the corruption of 4 Judges, he knew that someone like Anderson, despite not being as technically proficient on the field yet, deserved the title of Judge more than those 4 as she never surrendered her integrity throughout the film.
plus she can think for herself
Kind of missed the idea that Dredd saying Anderson was a pass is more in concept than anything else, seeing as he was already aware that Anderson had decided that she wouldn’t cut it as a judge, which is why she turned in her badge immediately after exiting the block.
He’s mostly saying “she would have been a good one”... which based upon what we’ve seen is the highest praise anyone could have gotten from a guy like Dredd after a day like that.
You're right, it doesn't look like the original city. It looks better. If I were to imagine a crime ridden, somewhat futuristic shithole megacity at the outskirts of a desert wasteland, this comes pretty close.
A city in the 2090s - 2100s?
It looks like cape town with tower blocks not Mega City One from the 2000AD comics which had its own unique style. Its like watching Star Wars without the retrofuturism designs wouldn't feel as much like Star Wars which is my problem with the city in Dredd as a massive 2000AD fan. Dredd is the better movie its amazing but the 1995 movie pulled off the Comic book look so well it looks like they pulled it straight from the pages. My ideal sequel would be the look of the 1995 movie with the dark tone of Dredd with the over the top elements from the comics.
Dredd is such a badass film with so much potential and alot of fun moments.Dredd,Shoot em up,John Wick&Deadpool prove an R rated action film can really pay off.
I really like all of them, but both Shoot 'em up and Dredd unfortunately bombed at the box office, so they really didn't pay off at all.
I wish there would be another Dredd movie, this one really caught the tone of the comic while still maintaning a feeling of realism.
R Rated action movies aren't new or surprising....
Die Hard, Predator, Rambo, Aliens, Terminator..... All did extremely well
Jon Avenger71985 agree with you here .
People in mega city: takes "slowmo"
*you have become addicted to jet*
Dredd perfectly took the aesthetic of 70s sci-fi and updated it to modern sci-fi. Those kinds of changes are very okay in my book.
It's a good way to adapt a series based on a media decades old without alienating the identity. Like mentioned before with that Batman trilogy.
He passed Anderson cuz throughout he saw her grow from just going academically to using her own judgement. Note the scene where she asks if she gave the wrong answer and he says "well you're the psychic." Plus her determination to see it through. If you want a better explanation look up the video Dredd: Anderson's Assessment
Did Decker leave out the bit where Mama says she has bombs around Peach trees and has a device that detects her heart beat and if it were to stop, the bombs would blow. This leading to Dredd shooting her, giving her Slow-Mo and throwing her out the window, because the signal (Probably) wouldn't be reached from the ground floor.
To quote Jon and Al, WE NEED TO MAKE DREDD 2!
If you liked the feel of this movie, I think you might enjoy _The Raid: Redemption_. It has the very similar premise of a team of cops taking down an apartment of bad guys, but is set in modern Indonesia and has really kickass martial arts in it.
Yes. But hey, why not make it a summer of Iko Uwais (the protag?)
I believe there was some conflict with the two movies involving the release dates. Thy both had the same premise. I'm not sure which one, but the producers wanted to be the first in theaters. I like them both. This Dredd is way better than the disappointing Stallone one.
The first movie they simply tried to add too much in the movie and the biggest blasphemy of all = Dredd removing his helmet revealing Sly Stallone with almost azure blue eyes...
This movie was awesome and deserves a sequel as Carl urban was definitely better as Dredd than Stallone.
Yeah i honestly felt bored at the second half of the movie when his face was shown. It's like "hey it's stallone!! You love rambo guys, dont ya? Here he is!"
@@farlonmuentes6004 Indeed.
Carl urban unlike many other actors doesn't suffer from that arrogance that they need to be shown in every movie. He knows where he comes from.
Karl Urban has said he wants to do a Dredd series if someone like Netflix or Hulu would pick up the series. I would watch it.
6 people are found guilty of Code 231: Pressing the "Dislike" button for Decker Shado's video. The penalty is death. How do y'all plead?
***** I knew you'd say that. XD
George Bean is found guilty of Code 232: Using the word "y'all." The penalty is death. How do you plead?
Sh*t. Not guilty?
@@ToaTakanuva321 I was going to say exactly this!! Despite the 2 year gap 😅
I plead the 5th amigo
Decker did miss that the reason Dredd gives Mama the slowmo is to keep her heartbeat going to prevent the deadman's hand she connected to her heart rate from detonating the bombs she placed around the upper section. He threw her off with that to cause the signal to disconnect rather than report a flatline and detonate
Wouldn't that create the same affect? I.e. the signal was to weak to maintain a signal of the status of the heart assume flatline. Activate detonation.
The fact that you knew about the Judge revolver is awesome in its own right. But the fact that you knew it was the closes gun out there today to a actual Lawgiver is realy impressive. You get Mad bounes points for actually having.
Goddamn I love Dredd. I'm kind of glad that it was more "realistic" to a point, because not all of the comic's stuff can translate too well into film (I'm glad they kept the regular swears instead of using the made up future slang swears).
So sad this won't get a sequel, this movie had so many good things in it.
aint you a happy Psyche now that the movie Will get a sequel?
A supremely underrated movie.
I love that Dredd takes place in a "forsaken zone". That's so true to life. I know exactly that zone in Austin. You would find Zeus before you found a cop car.
16:08 Taurus Judge, I see what you did there Decker
i thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
So did I.
You must love HOSTEL, and SAW then
@@Jeffrey314159 Expect those are movies in different movie genres.
I want a satire Metal Gear Solid movie, and Decker plays Snake every time he hides in a box.
Dredd film: JUDGE DREDD FILM! You’re not the Law. I am the Law!
Judge Dredd film: Dredd film I can explain.
Dredd film: for having no faith in the original source material, for having Dredd remove his helmet, for an abysmal script, for getting poor critical reviews, and worst of all casting Rob Schneider as comic relief. How do you plead?!?!?!
Judge Dredd film: not guilty?
Dredd film: I knew you’d say that!
(Shoots the Judge Dredd film).
No . This flick is so off base that the Stallonr one should shoot it. Where is the parody ? Where is the dark humor ? Where is the insane charm of the comics ? None.Gone.
@@saidi7975now in fairness I have never read any of the judge dredd comics. My knowledge of it mostly second hand from people like erod the blockbuster buster, so maybe I should have acknowledged my ignorance beforehand. However the Stallone film I still don’t think is good. And this was more of a parody of angry joe’s review of the dredd film in the beginning.
Decker can you try to review "Cube" it is a very creative horror film which I think you'll enjoy!
Thumbs up for the Cube series.
Which movie would you like him to review? Ice Cube has made a lot of movies.
Word Unheard I mean "Cube" the 1997 Canadian horror film
Duffzilla12 シI シK シN シO シW シ
The first was amazing and incredibly inventive with the sets, considering they filmed in only two identical sets.
10:46 “But most importantly, we need to put these on.” Very funny. 😁
As one that still likes to watch movies in 3D, I would never want to see the slo-mo scenes without it. It ready does add to them.
Holy shit I just realized that's Cersei as Mama
This is an Underrated Masterpiece!
I honestly have no idea how I found your channel, @Decker Shado, but you're pretty great
I actually thought the regular "modern day" look of most of the film worked to its benefit - it really added a nice contrast to the high tech equipment that the judges use, which made the wholly unrealistic aspect of two "future super-cops" vs. thousands of gang members seem more acceptable, because the gang is using archaic 21st century guns (possibly modified though) vs. the Judges' super-versatile hand-guns/cannons.
But then, I never collected the comics and only had a cursory understanding of them...
The 2000AD city had a much more 1950s retrofuturism look to it like Metropolis or New New York to it which I personally could see down well in a live action movie all you'd need to do is add a textured and dirty look to it like Tim Burtons Gotham. As a fan of the comics I was disappointed with the city just looked like Cape Town with tower blocks instead of Mega City One but I loved the tower block stuff i think it was mostly the budget it limited them from really going all out so they decided to just stay with a modern look.
Damn, this film was criminally underrated. It was so freaking good.
(11:54) "A pointless attempt to shock me" That's me watching Versus (2000)
Had they made a sequel, I would have liked to have seen Judge Death and his undead sidekicks.
it'd help if the studio had advertised the damn movie better. I don't remember a single ad for it
The only one I remember is the one where it features the skrillex song
"Incendiary rounds" what a difficult thing to say.
The biggest injustice is not giving this movie a well deserved sequel.
The incendiary round looked more like a white phosphorus artillery round (see the white smoke trails and "cluster/airburst" effect) than a dragon's breath shell. And I do mean artillery round, there's no way to pack enough WP to produce that effect in a pistol-sized round.
Personally to me I originally guessed thermite but Yeah now that you bring that up it definitely has more of a white phosphorus affect
Because nanotechnology or some other future because reasons....
Exactly!
Wafflepudding
WP is an incendiary weapon ...
Incendiary just means burns.. fire... just like the word ... incinerate ... it doesn't mean any specific type of fire or weapon...
A flamethrower is an incendiary weapon...
Thermite is also an incendiary weapon.
Tracer rounds are also incendiary since they a a coating of red phosphorus on them and the friction of the air rushing around the bullet causes the phosphorus to ignite thud letting you see the round ...
Dragons breath is only one type of incendiary weapon..
And yea Dredd used WP so what? It's still an incendiary weapon..
You really shouldn't comment when you're as ignorant on subjects, as you are...
ALIEN On LSD
Yeah Thermite dissent behave the way Dredd's weapon did in the movie...
Are you stupid?
She's a pass because she quit. it's the gritty hero archetype. it's the brooding "being the good guy doesn't always mean it's glamorous and righteous" trope. she passed because she survived and learned this isn't her line of work.
7:43 I was getting some serious Hotline Miami vibes from this.
I love the soundtrack to this movie
the movie was actually shot in Cape Town South Africa, only the 'mega city blocks' are digitally added
in the comics the unemployment rate is explained by automation . That also explains the high crime rate . People are bored and have nothing to do so enrolling either in city def units or juve gangs is something pretty normal . This leads to the various blocs having frequent brawls between their gangs and city def units etc . There are jobs that are utterly demeaning but people flock by the tens of thousands to get , foot stool , shop manikin and so on . In some cases there are riots when a job opens up . There are also thousands of channels to broadcast endless tv shows and reality tv plus bizzare games were the fatties ( people enhanced to eat up to one ton and live to tell the tale ) engage in eating contests or gladiatorial contests ( one touching story has a fatie father breaking the law to get money and enter the contests ring ) .
This movie never disappoints every time I watch it. Although I love Sly Stallone Karl Urban was a perfect pick for the character he should have been way more moody though.
Dredd turns 10 today!!!
Sadly it bombed at the box office being overshadowed by The Raid: Redemption but received better reviews and gained a cult status over time
It was far better than the Stallone version which had so many action cliches and over-the-top-performances
Karl Urban plays a more restrained version of Judge Dredd; he has the belief that harsh sentences and swift executions are not only morally defensible, but imperative for the shaky stability
He depicts a dark and disturbing anti-hero presenting a faceless critique of American law enforcement with enough of a dichotomy
Plus the filmmakers make this comic book world of Mega-City One believable with a smaller scale plot
A crime-infested city run by drugs and guns
Amazing bloody violence and stylish action
Love Lena Headey as the villain Ma-Ma and this was my first introduction to Olivia Thirlby
Poor marketing may have hurt the movies theatrical run as well as being too familiar with the 1995 version
Good is news that Karl Urban is open to making a sequel and the first film didn't have to concern itself with a larger mythology
I saw this last night. My wife pointed out that it MUST have taken influence from "Dirty Harry." Not only does Karl Urban sound like Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan, but the plot is like a mix of the first two films...(1) stopping at nothing to track down a criminal whose been terrorizing the city, and (2) serving justice to corrupt cops.
The character was based on Dirty Harry.
This movie is in my top 10.
Never gets old for me, and watched it many times as I've watched Demolition man, which is a quite a bit.
I absolutely loved this film, the fact they never expanded on it, really made me sad :(
reason she passes, she can think for herself, and uses the law as a guide line, not a rule book, just like dredd
If they came out with a sequel starring Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby I'd go to the theatre to see it like my parents did for Star Wars in the 70s. Which'd be at least five times.
I wish to point out Anderson is telepathic and not pre-cognisant. Also, she has to actively use her powers which requires concentration. So it does make sense for her not to see things coming or get snuck up on.
We need dread 2
DetlaPrime350 It's comin.
actually no its not the carl urban said he would love to return as Dredd but the director said their won't be a sequel
no sequel but talks of a 13 part netflix series.... apparently, so i read, but can't find the source to be filmed in/about the cursed earth..
www.pocket-lint.com/news/138047-dredd-tv-show-for-netflix-amazon-or-hbo-exciting-stuff-happening-in-the-background
its not coming
I'd just be happy for more Anderson. Always my personal favourite from the comics.
"Your straight white ass is fired." That cracked me up way more than it should have XD
I picked up the blu-ray used and found out that I got a double sided version with one side in 3d. This is one of those movies that is best shown in 3d. The cinematography is incredible!
Now, it does look more contemporary than the comic and the comic's satire is gone; but considering how they fumbled the first attempt I'm okay with it.
One of my favorite (non horror) sci fi action flicks.
Urban don't need to remove his helmet, since that Dredd-pout is recognizable enough. :p
Also Decker you really miss a lot of notable details, such as the Judges only have enough solid manpower to cover about.... if I recall correctly it's around 14% of all reported crimes each day. They cannot catch up with it... they can merely respond to what feels like the most notable of crimes.
And then there's the crimes that interfer with an active judge to take him away from a potential other crime reported.
I remember seeing this in theaters, I went in thinking it was gonna be pretty shit like the Stallone one but I ended up really enjoying tf out of it.
I'm not even familiar with the comics I just thought this was a better movie than the older one.
Easily one of my favorite movies in the last few years.
The hero we need now more than ever...Not all hero’s wear capes, some just have really amazing hair!!
i think this movie is great
Great vid! It's actually true that zones with the highest crime rate most typically have the lowest police deployment. The primary purpose of an american police force is to deter crime from already safe areas,not to drive crime from it's hive spaces. The hives are just forsaken. I know the exact forsaken zone for Austin. Street with no patrol cars ever.
Love your videos. Thus Dredd movie was fantastic. I grew up with 2000ad/Dredd. For me, the movie lacked robots, which were an integral part, but I overlooked that because Karl Urban done a great job portraying Dredd. The Slow Mo scenes capture and are most probably a tribute to the artwork from the conics .... This movie is great ... It's a 9 no shedding Dredd helmets out of 10 to me ... And remember ... If you're gonna make a Dredd movie, never remove the helmet ...
Most underrated UA-camr? That's my boy decker, keep up the great work ! Also the moustache is excellent
I don’t care what anyone says I loved this movie, by no means perfect but Karl Urban owned that Dredd. I’m glad they toned down the futuristic stuff and kept it low key and believable. If this got re released I bet it would be a hit.
The tone down was mostly because of budgets. I personally prefer the CyberPunk mixed with retro futuristic look Mega City one has it just looked more unique. The look of the first movie could be explained as a earlier version of Mega City One Dredd himself seems to be unknown by the gangs unlike the comic and we get to see the first mutant Judge in this movie in the comics there’s a whole division of mutant Judges so this movie seems to be set early on sequels or shows would’ve developed the city to a more faithful comic book look where we see an older Dredd. I would also love to see the more weird side of the 2000AD universe in a sequel.
For a second there I thought he'd ONLY review the Stallone Dredd and never the remake.
I wish they at least showed the Dark Judges for a short moment so we would know if a sequel was coming.
Fun fact, the incendiary round, is a white phosphorous round, so really I'd have called it 'nam
The incendiary shell is White Phosphorous. It makes Napalm look humane.
This movie is more along the lines of what I would imagine from that Universe whereas the other film is basically just a Stallone movie.
I hope they make Dredd 2
Why doesn't this man have more subscribers he deserves it he got the looks the hair and the video quality of a star
I'm just glad dredd kept his damn helmet on for the whole movie mate
Finally you have watched and reviewed Dredd I have been waiting for you to do this review for so long =D
Carl urban is an awesome underrated actor,, how many of you remember him in the LORD OF THE RINGS ? or PATHFINDER ( good Viking-tribal movie )
Decker, to be fair, by lore of the film itself, the Hall of Justice can only respond to about... what... 14 percent of all emergency calls and each judge gets to evaluate the value of a call before going there.
17:57 remember earlier in the film when Judge Kaplan said something along the lines of "I have an edge, she'll think I with her and that's when I'll take the shot" again, not accurate but pretty close to what she said. Well, you had the edge AND the shot, TAKE IT
the scene always bugged me
I must have watched this episode a dozen times and it just now dawned on me that the revolver Decker was holding was the Taurus Judge. I see what you did there...
We need dredd 2
Dredd is basically The Raid, except with Judge Dredd in it.
The Raid was Dredd filmed in a country with liberal copyright laws,.
6:50 Basically Mama went all Cercei Lannister...
"Did you play too much Cs:Go?"
*CYKA BLYAT*
YES! I'm glad you commented on Dredd never removing his helmet. Much closer to the source material. I think it IS a much better dredd film.
I always assumed the low employment rate in the movie was due to crime being so rampant, essentially meaning that the majority of people ARE employed, but as or by criminals.
So you would have people who work as muscle for the crime groups, like Mama's. Or those who are essentially forced into the labour of producing FOR the crime groups, like the manufacturers of Slowmo as shown in the movie.
This would explain why crime is such a big issue, it probably makes up for the largest sector in employment, even though it's technically illegitimate.
That criminal groups being biggest employer might apply in Peach Trees which was very much lawless slum. Movie does not show less derelict blocks, which might have less serious crimes happening. Boredom and large scale cabin fever does create demand for stuff like Slomo and harsh work also gives lots of opportunities for judges to become corrupt. Especially when Anderson mentions that she grew up in similar block and that implies judges are not as rigorously conditioned as they are in comic. Joe Dredd started his training at biological age of five and it takes 15 years to graduate from very harsh training.
Love your reviews, Papa Decker.
She let the hacker go because when she read his mind for the door code they needed, she saw that he'd essentially been forced into it. Ma-Ma even gouged out his eyes to have them replaced with cybernetic ones. He was a victim. It's also the moment a lot of people point to as to why Dredd gave her a pass.
Compassion and empathy, something that the whole jurisdiction of Mega City One seemed to lack. Then again, the comics steered more into Dredd "reforming" the Justice Department, fighting soldiers from East Meg and even Death Judges too. But that'll be too ambitious for sequels.
This movie alone redefined gun violence for me for modern movies... and I've seen messy shit too.
This movie EARNS a sequel STILL.
I find it funny people say the Stallone movie is silly when I've just read a Judge Dredd story involving a talking horse and him and other judges fighting a massive amount of mutant spiders.
Also the entire concept of Judge Death, while cool is a bit silly as well. Don't get me wrong. I think Dredd is a great movie but I don't see how it's any closer to the source material than the Stallone one
It's not silly. It's just crap.

2:42 If you look at the bag on the left, it has 'Drokk' written on it which is believe was a line judge dress said often in the comics.
This movie was badass. I wish there was a sequel.
