This movie was actually really good right? It doesn't seem as if it received the praise I think it deserved.
>>63170851
it really is a good movie. people just bash because idk why.
>>63170851
I fucking loved this movie
Still don't understand whether this ripped off The Raid or vice versa
>>63170872
Does anyone have a good reason why? Can you remember what they said?
I'm not familiar with the comic series, but as an action move, it hits everything and it even gets obligatory eye candy in without turning it into a romance subplot.
The fighting scenes are great, the world and weapons are interesting without being too complex to get into, the cinematography...I don't know shit about cinematography, but it looked good.
I remember reading that the director always wanted to make this and was very passionate about the movie. I don't think he'll ever make a sequel considering how poorly it did.
>>63171073
It's a great movie, but it does lack the humor and satire the character was supposed to have
Then again, most of the comics lack it true and treat Dredd like a hero. At least the movie acknowledges he's an asshole, which is better than the Stallone version managed
>>63170872
No one bashed it.
Some mocked the fact it was originally released in theaters as Dredd 3D but then admitted it was cool as fuck.
/tv/ trolls mocked it's relatively low box office numbers but /tv/ hates everything.
>>63171068
neither, they were written at the same time
if you want to get technical, then both of them ripped off Die Hard
Almost everyone who watched like it, we don't talk about it because there's not to talk about
>>63170851
>This guy produced it
I really liked it. Also Olivia Thirlby was really cute
>>63171163
>but /tv/ hates everything
this is true senpai
>>63171145
Oh yeah this kind of shit can't be used today
>>63171123
>I don't think he'll ever make a sequel considering how poorly it did.
I NEED a reason anon.
It didn't do anything "wrong"...no, like, movie making mistakes, right?
AND the director was passionate about the project? Sure, maybe it lost the bleak comedy of the comics, but there must be something that's keeping this back.
I hate the "it failed because of poor marketing!" excuse, but in this case it really did. The advertising for "DREDD 3D" was bad enough to keep me from watching it for a long time.
I wouldn't say it was "really good," but it was good. It was well-made all around and entertaining.
Like >>63171145 says, it was missing the satiric edge of the comics. I also think they could've made Mega-City One look more the weird setting of the source material, but that's a pretty minor quibble.
>>63171209
>produced
Producers aren't real people and they don't matter to anybody.
>>63171209
i don't like him
>>63171219
>Also Olivia Thirlby was really cute
Understatement of the millenium
>>63171322
>really good
What do you think kept it from being really good?
Was it lacking in anything? Make a mistake somewhere?
>>63171068
There's controversy about this plot being similar to the one of The Raid: Redemption, but apparently, even though that came first, this one was in development first, and just took longer to get released.
It was an entertaining action film, but I don't think the film really gave the viewer enough to go on in order to get into the character of Dredd or flesh out the setting fully. It would be great if someone decided to fund a mini-series, but at this rate the film won't even get a sequel.
>>63171456
What >>63171605 said. Dredd, or at least, the future setting, it's society and legal system, needed to be expanded on. I would have liked to have seen more of the city than just one block under lockdown, and that would've helped explain why law enforcement is so ruthless.
>>63170851
Slapped on 3D on the title when people were getting tired of 3D movies.
>>63171068
>>63171540
If you honestly think this is a ripoff of The Raid you should just stop watching movies.
>Two movies take place in a building? FUCKING RIPOFF
>>63171913
I said there was some controversy but this was in development first.
>>63171833
meh, less can be more
I thought I wanted a Matrix sequel too
>>63171291
>The advertising for "DREDD 3D" was bad enough to keep me from watching it for a long time.
That's to bad
You really MISSED THE FUCK OUT.
>>63172282
Do you have her taking a hit then falling?
>>63172282
the slowmo scenes were better than they had any right to be
>>63171219
Too bad they ruined it with the nig desu
Great movie. Only movie i enjoyed more in 3d than regular. They didnt over do it, and did it in the right places, like slow mo scenes
>>63171145
There was little moments. Like the Asian bum getting squashed.
>>63170851
I love the absolute shit out of this movie
I liked that they drop the audience in an already established universe and explain it in two sentences at the beginning.
Then the ending portrays Dredd's character perfectly.when mama is threatening to blow up the building that's attached to her heartbeat, and dress doesn't believe her because he's too fixated on how many laws she broke, and gives her a hit of slo-mo and throws her out of the window
>>63176154
>gives her a hit of slo-mo
This seemed a little out of character. Kind of took me out of the moment, but the scene was good enough to draw me back.
>>63173971
Tron: Legacy was 3D eye candy. It is kinda shit without it.
>>63176252
That's when he finally became, Judge, Jury, and Executioner......man.
>>63171068
>Pre-production took about four months, which include finalization of the script (which included translation of the original English-language script into Indonesian)
I assume this means Raid ripped off Dredd
>>63171145
>but it does lack the humor and satire the character was supposed to have
Nah, it wasn't as comedic as Judge Stallone, but there was plenty of dark black humor that fits right with modern Judge Dredd comics.
Shit like how the mall will be open in 10 minutes after the shooting, or how there's an active shooter, and if people need refreshments they can go to floors 2 or 5.
Or Judge Dredd just being so straight it was funny.
"Sir, a helmet can interfere with my psychic abilities"
"I think a bullet would interfere with them more."
Shit like that fit perfectly, and didn't make it too silly like the 90s movie was.
>>63177403
>Shit like that fit perfectly, and didn't make it too silly like the 90s movie was.
I've gotta rewatch it. It's way different in comic form.
>>63171145
>>63171833
One reason Dredd might never have mass appeal to Americans is because, at it's core, Judge Dredd is a satirical take on the American idea of justice. It's pretty much taking the piss out of America, and it's going to be hard to convince people to get into something when they're ultimately the butt of the joke.
>>63177486
>bellywheel shot
Maybe we should try a relatively comic-y version again
>>63177403
Also in the shooting at the beginning, you can see the dead Fattie and next to him is his Bellywheel.
>>63177537
Team America and South Park have mass appeal and they shit on America.
Some of the greatest war movies have taken a critical lens or at least shined a dark light on our foreign policies.
I think people loved idiocracy too.
>>63177486
What's fantastic is this fattie extremist shit somewhat came true.
>>63177689
>>63170851
People all seem to agree it's pretty decent now, more of a cult following I think.
It never reached my local cinema in Australia due to poor sales in the US. I think some of our larger ones showed it.
>>63170851
Movie was pretty shit.
Terrible action choreography, wasted premise/source material, shit for actors.
>>63171068
doesn't matter since Redemption was so much better because of good choreography/action
watched this movie 20 times , the slomo scenes are amazing when you're high while watching
Top tier 10/10 movie
Plus karl urban is such an alpha
Honestly this was disappointing, especially after /tv/ personally shilled it. I went in expecting another The Raid but it didn't deliver. The best part was when he crushed that other judges throat with his billy club.
>>63178603
>Terrible action choreography, wasted premise/source material, shit for actors.
Time for you to school us anon.
What's wrong with the choreography, what was lacking in the use of the setting, and how were the actors performances lacking?
>>63177537
Yeah, because The U.S. is all about fascism. If the judicial does anything it's capitalize on it.
I was billed $45 dollars to spend the night in jail for a public intox.
>>63177537
American's in a generalized sense don't get nor appreciate subtle art of satire. It has to be flatout parody like Team America where it's very clear that it's blatantly making fun of something. Show them something like Judge Dredd and they 9/10 assume you're suppose to take him straight laced cop character and you're meant to cheer for him, when that's not really the case, at least not entirely.
>>63177403
>>63170851
I liked it. That's all that matters!
>>63170851
Agree !!!! I like this one a lot better than last one with Sly.
I liked it. It helped it had nothing to do with Hollywood, and instead was a British film.
>>63176252
From what I remember of the comics - up to the 90's, don't know about the recent ones - Dredd always had a sort of "the punishment should fit the crime" mentality (as long as said punishment was within The Law, of course).
>>63173866

>Paid for by Americans

I'm from that pale-faced weather beaten isle and even I think that's daft!
>>63182937
It's a British film shot in South Africa, even one of the production companies is British - DNA Films.
>Country
>United Kingdom

>>63182937

>British studio DNA Films produced the film
>>63172282
>>63183024
it was done this way so they could make more money otherwise taxes would take alot
>>63182937
What the fuck has where it's filmed and who it stars got to do with the country of origin? Many American produced films star British or non-American actors, and aren't always filmed in America.
>>63171068
Because fighting through a building filled with baddies to get to the boss is such a revolutionary story idea.
>>63183084
>British director
>British producer
>British writer
>British composer
>British cinematographer
>British production company
>based on a British comic
>Country of origin - the United Kingdom and South Africa
It's safe to say it's primarily a British film.
Like the movie a lot but why the fuck did he use that fire ammo at the beginning? The guy lived for like another 10 seconds. He could have panicked while dying and just pull the trigger, spraying all around.
>>63183159
thanks FAMily i assumed due to the premise that it was a Jew company
>>63183178
It was for cinematic gore and eye candy
>>63183214
There is still a coalburner scene, even if it's a dream.
>>63183272
what a qt
The more I watch it, the more I notice it's flaws.
I still really enjoy it though.
favorite line of the movie, right at the end, when the chief asks him what happened here;
"..Drug bust, perps were . . . uncooperative"
just another routine day
>>63170851
>no massive gang rape of the rookie
what a waste of time...
>>63183384
much cuter with the dyed hair
>>63174031
>0,2% above accepted failure rate, that's not marginal
It was definetely there, just more subtile and rare it was just not in your face. Apropos he never took off the helmet which made me so happy.
Not mainstream enough for the hollywood crowd though...what a fucking shame. Let's do capeshit episode 9 instead of Dredd II...makes me cry.
One of my favorite action flics of all time.
>>63174031
Yeah it was pretty downplayed but so were a lot of the comics, sometimes Dredd is a straight-up hero.
