Dredd Ratings & Reviews
- Dankpool14 November 2025.... How is there not a sequel?
- staceygau72 days agoBest movie ever
- ferhdemerak15 February 2026Perfection. Acting top notch. Action killer and damn almost nothing to say about the plot. Simple and effective. I wish we would have an other one.
- XDragoking30 April 2025Ok so full disclosure, part of me REALLY liked the Stallone one more and I know that’s probably a sin, but I ranked this one higher on a lot of technical and action levels. The action was crisp, the writing was very good at times yet standard for the genre at others, it both felt like the perfect Dredd movie yet not a Dredd movie at all and I actually loved that. Karl Urban was fantastic in his role and Olivia Thirlby played a great companion to it. Urban brought character to a guy who really doesn’t have one and that’s extremely commendable work, with Wood Harris and Lena Headey as great baddies. It was a fun, action packed and very well shot film and a really nice change of pace for a comic book film to play out more like a thriller than an adventure.
- Luke10 February 2026Having been entirely unfamiliar with the comics, I found Dredd to be a great action packed experience. You don’t need to think too hard, just sit back and relax as you’re peppered with a lack of compromise, excessive gore, and brilliant slow motion shots. The cast gives a strong performance, and you never feel let down or pulled out of the film by poor performances. The film is only let down slightly by a weak plot tying together some of the early and mid action sequences. 8/10 still a great film when you just want to watch bad guys getting shot in badass slow motion.
- LivewireAdmin3 February 2026Karl Urban is criminally underrated. The people demand a sequel!
- Eddie29 October 2025Legend of a movie that I will always repeat watch. Just watch it!
- sh_cheah17 January 2026This movie is too underrated. I enjoiyed this movie thoroughly and as much as the equalizer movies. I wish they make more judge dredd movies. Karl Urban is amazing in this movie.
- Pascal Bollier3 January 2026Violent, unapologetically brutal, straight forward sci-fi actioner that deserved a sequel. good, good stuff!
- Jakeys26 December 2025Super fun movie, and Karl Urban kills in it, figuratively and literally. Great soundtrack too, but the 3D effects aged badly. I would say as well, Olivia Thirlby is solid, Lena Headey hams it up a bit but is decent, but Wood Harris (had to Google him) put in a very lazy and unconvincing performance. It's also thin on plot, but then it doesn't really need one. Go in and stop the bad guys, it's just another day for the Judge.
- carlijustice13 December 2025Action packed, but it lacks the humor and originality of the first movie. This movie was just a little too Robocopish to me.
- Richard19 October 2025Saw this one in the cinema when it came out and it hit like a sledgehammer. Gritty, stylish, and brutally efficient. It was everything a Judge Dredd movie should be and yet somehow… it didn’t become the hit it deserved. Karl Urban never takes off the helmet, never cracks a smile and never misses a beat. He is Dredd, cold, hard edged and utterly believable. Olivia Thirlby plays rookie Anderson with just the right mix of vulnerability and psychic punch and Lena Headey’s Ma-Ma is pure menace wrapped in scar tissue. The story is tight: one building, one drug lord, one long climb to justice. It’s Die Hard meets Robocop, dipped in slow motion gore and neon grime. The Slo-Mo drug sequences are hypnotic, the action is crisp and the production design makes Mega-City One feel lived in and rotting. It’s a shame this didn’t get a sequel. Poor marketing buried it, but the film itself? A masterclass in lean, mean sci-fi storytelling. Or maybe people didn’t go see it because they still remembered the 1995 version, Stallone shouting “I am the law!” while the tone veered wildly between camp and confusion. But this one? It got the tone right. I loved the visuals, the pacing and the unapologetic brutality. It felt like a comic book adaptation that actually understood its source, no winks, no fluff, just law.
- Nick Banas16 August 2025The greatest comic book movie ever created, and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.
- kirbysuperstar13 December 2025Really good stuff, just a fun, violent movie
- Rocket97628 November 2025Entertaining. Urban was great even without showing his face.
