Dredd Ratings & Reviews
- carlijusticeDecember 13, 2025Action packed, but it lacks the humor and originality of the first movie. This movie was just a little too Robocopish to me.
- DankpoolNovember 14, 2025.... How is there not a sequel?
- XDragokingApril 30, 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.
- kirbysuperstarDecember 13, 2025Really good stuff, just a fun, violent movie
- EddieOctober 29, 2025Legend of a movie that I will always repeat watch. Just watch it!
- RichardOctober 19, 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 BanasAugust 16, 2025The greatest comic book movie ever created, and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.
- mayar900May 16, 2025I'm the type of person who doesn't like action movies, but this movie is very nice and the ending is nice.
- CubaneOctober 27, 2025One of the exceptionally rare examples of a reboot that thorougly invalidates the original. It's simply an improvement in every possible sense. One of my favorite movies, it stands alone as the Judge Dredd movie worth watching repeatedly.
- MrTrivetSeptember 22, 2025A trip back in time to 80s action cinema, with everything that era did best - over-the-top violence, dry humor, and the distinctive feel of a decayed vision of the future. The film acts as a generational bridge between Robocop and Cyberpunk 2077. The action is intense, and the visual design of Mega-City One impresses with its details. Karl Urban as Dredd is tough and ruthless; without the balance provided by the young rookie at his side, it would be hard to like him. The whole thing is over-the-top, bloody, and at times almost surreal, making it a pure pleasure to watch. Dredd is a fantastic homage to classic action cinema, blending nostalgia with modern style and campy excess.
- KylgraveApril 6, 2025Superb flick
- chariton.September 9, 2025Great movie. Faithful to Dredd in every way. And good fun.
- tellumAugust 17, 2025Good enough action and setting that it’s shocking there has yet to be a sequel or TV series.
- StairwaytothestarsAugust 12, 2025Atmospheric, with a spectacular ending, and no one can compete with Ma-Ma played by the amazing Lena Headey!
- lee smartJuly 17, 2025Extremely underrated. Deserves a sequel. Very verh good film
