Dredd 3D

[wolfsfang]

Apparently this version is going to stay closer to the comics by having Dredd NOT remove his helmet to keep him mysterious



Not a fan of Judge Dredd and didn't really care for the Sly Stallone version but I have to admit this one looks like fun

Now see this is an example of a concept that was better saved for modern cinema advancements to do it proper justice (pun intended). As someone who is a pretty big fan of Dredd I'm pleased to see them finally take this series in a more serious direction as it should be- although it could just be me but does Dredd's helmet look a bit too big for his head?

Well I don't think it can be worse then the Stallone version, I am willing to give it a chance

Do I even need to see it now? The trailer was the entire movie in compressed format.

So... no Rob Schneider??? This leaps and bounds better than the last one.

I said the same thing about Prometheus after I saw the two and a half minute international trailer. Pretty much spoiled the whole movie.

Hope it's dark and violent.

I'm gonna risk my rep by saying this but I didn't at all mind the Sly Stallone version... although CLEARLY they could have done a better job.

I am looking forward to this movie absolutely. Big Dredd/2000AD comics fan. Always thought Dredd as a character does deserve to be on the Big Screen.... actually so does Rogue Trooper. Thanks for the heads up on this.

That is why I stopped watching any Prometheus (and DKR) trailers back in March.

When it gets closer to Oct, I will stop watching and reading everything on Skyfall and Django Unchained.

As for this movie, meh, it looks like crap. In fact, it looks nothing like the comic. Judge Dredd is like Punisher, he does not work in movie form, so STOP TRYING!!!

Yeah, because back when they made the Stallone version, we didn't have the technology yet to keep a helmet on somebody for the full length of an entire movie!

As bad as the Stallone Dredd is - I watch it ever time it's on TV.

This one looks good - maybe it's just me, but he comes across as Dredd on Valium. I've always pictured him as being more vocal - like a drill sergeant.

Either way, this one will get my money.

I actually didn't mind Judge Dredd, as I was unfamiliar with the comics, there were no expectations. Just a silly movie with a cool cyborg villain and some silly one liners. I rewatched it a few months back and honestly, it wasn't that bad.

Karl Urban in that costume is just walking sex for me.

Cool. This was filmed in Cape Town and Johannesburg. My brother-in-law was an on-set paramedic for the CT shoots. I had the chance to go on set but alas something else came up and I couldn't go

I meant visual effects- the helmet thing was just pure vanity on the part of Stalone.

[Heeeere's Olesker!]

I know I'm in the minoirty on this, but I absolutely loved Stallone's Dredd. Totally tongue-in-cheek and so much fun. I love it when action actors have the guts to parody themselves and poke fun at themselves as Arnold did in THE LAST ACTION HERO -- that scene when Maria tells Arnold not to plug Planet Hollywood all the time. And, of course the helmet in Stallone's Dredd was pure vanity. But it served two purposes -- satisfying Stallone's vanity and alloqing him to have some fun by poking himself with it. I think it's pretty cool when you can laugh at yourself, like when Burt Reynolds looks at himself in the mirror in SILENT MOVIE and says, "I just can't believe I'm Burt Reynolds!"

I thought Stallone's Dredd was just a fun movie that didn't take itself seriously. Yes, I like intelligent films that me think. But something I just want to kick back and enjoy my popcorn. Stallone's Dredd was like that. This new one? From the trailer it looks like another cookie-cutter action film to me. Just my opinion.

Thanks Jack! Exactly point I was trying to make and at last Stallone's movie had character's from the comics this one does not why didn't they use Judge Death in this film????? That would work this Drug Lord woman....No..

I know what you meant, it was just a joke.
