The sole reason this movie flopped
>>
The raid did it better
>>
>>64037265
The raid is shit
Watching half naked guys punching each other for 30 minutes long scenes is not my cup of tea.
But if you love sweaty asian hairless boys it's good for you.
>>
decent flick, good casting (Urban and the blonde chick)
>>
>>64036558
The first thing I said to my buddy after The Force Awakened ended was "Man, Dredd was a great movie"
>>
>>64037311
If the first thing a fighting movie makes you think is "gay sex" that says something about you.
>>
>>64037265
overrated, their punches lack force
>>
>>64037265

reminder the raid ripped off its script from dredd which was still in development
>>
No Stallone
>>
>>64036558

If you want the honest truth, female villain. It didn't catch on solely because of that. The acting and action scenes were good, but the face that the villain was female is why nobody really cared for it.

I believe there was actually a study done on this somewhere. Female villains just are not as interesting as male ones. Weird but that's how it is.

Didn't advertise their game of thrones meme actress hard enough

Should have plastered her face all over it
>>
>>64037498
>>64038756
These.
Movie was simply not advertised at all.
>>
Dredd flopped by not balancing the violence with more humour and satire
It was great except for that mistake

>should have had more Marvel meme tier sarcastic humor

Fuck off and die
>>
>>64037265
I don't get the love for raid. The fucking movie was shit and the fight scenes made me super mad.
>>
>>64039107
But he's right. Dredd isn't a well known character to mainstream audiences and it was rated R.
>>
>>64038896
>satire

But the entire movie felt like satire. What the hell?

It seemed like a lot of people were bashing the movie for not retaining the satirical elements of the comics, but the movie's premise, a drug that's sole purpose is to create crazy slow-mo effects for the sake of what is essentially violence porn, feels like satire already. And then you have shit like a fucking Zamboni being used to sweep up dead people at a mall.

>>64040469
Also, while Karl Urban was a good choice, he's not a big A list star that would attract uninitiated viewers.
>>
>>64037336
kek
>>
>>64038756

This is the correct answer.
>>
>>64037265
The Raid was awful, manlets screaming does not make a movie good. It lacked character development, a proper plot, and had abysmal cinematography.
>>
>>64036558
why? 3D slow motion bullets and blood were actually pretty impressive.
>>
>>64037265
>hsld operators acting like retards
>guns at hand's reach
>nah, just leave them

raid is shit
>>
>>64037498
what about the girl? she wasn't?
>>
>>64036558

Small story environment.

If I got to see more of the Dredd universe, it might of been more enticing
>>
>>64041304
it's not that it had 3D, it's just that 3D was in the fucking title. who does that? The only reason I skipped it in theaters (and regret doing so later)
>>
>>64041368
This. I thought it was named 3D because it was a remake of the previous movie and there was little to no advertisement to correct me.
>>
>>64040727
fuck off nigger

nobody gives a shit about any of that, the raid is fucking great. goat action movie
>>
>>64036558
I thought it was good. Should have upped the grimdark and the absurd satire from the comics, but normies probably wouldn't 'get' it.

A 2000AD adaption should feel more like Red Dwarf than John Wick. Richard Stanley got it right with pic related.

In case you people have forgotten, this block operates under the same rules as the rest of the city. Ma-Ma is not the law... I am the law.

That fucking delivery.

yeah man! xD that scene had me shaking of enjoyment!! could. not. believe. it.

hella f*ckin epic
>>
>>64041746
Here's your (you)
>>
>>64036558
3D in the title. And normies still don't get it
>>
>>64041631
Why "Red Dwarf" btw? Googled it and it's some kinda brit tv show
(inb4 pleb)
>>
>>64037265
The Raid 2 is the far superior film.
>>
>>64041631
should rewatch it. that PIL song
>>
>>64041844
it's just dw (don't worry) senpai
>>
>>64041844
You have missed out son.

So why did the corrupt judges ask the medic if he was 'willing to testify to that' before executing him?

Where would he fucking testify? He just testified in front of four judges. They dont have static courts, they have mobile judges/executors.

I fucking get cancer from that, they didnt even proof read the dialogues.
>>
>>64036558

100% true.

I completely skipped it because I thought it was going to be some 3d fest of shit.

>saw it years later
>realised this was the ONE movie I wish I had seen in 3D, even though I fucking hate 3d most of the time

Great movie. Knows what it's doing and does it well.
>>
>>64043048
>I completely skipped it because I thought it was going to be some 3d fest of shit.
Same, whenever I see the 3D sticker on a film I instantly assume it's gonna be obnoxious ZOOM INS on some fucking car, explosion, face because of muh 3D
>>
>>64037311
>half naked

>love sweaty asian hairless boys

bruh.. wat

thats on you
>>
>>64042256
because if he was honest enough to testify, he was a liability that needed to die.
>>
>>64036558
Pretty sure a bigger factor was Total Recall coming out recently before Dredd and being total dogshit. People just assumed if that sci-fi remake was shit so was this one.
>>
>>64041693
That
> Judgment time
was a bit cheesy, otherwise it was just fine.

> perps were..uncooperative
was GOAT, though.
>>
>>64037498
Well it's a British film shot in South Africa, so makes sense.
>>
>>64037311
>That fight between the brothers and the mad dog
I literally started laughing at how ridiculous it was.
