Dredd
- 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.
- Richard19 oktober 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.
- Zokkiie7 april 2026Really solid all around. It’s got a smooth, confident vibe and never feels like it’s scrambling to keep your attention. The action stands out in a good way—clean, punchy, and actually fun to watch without going overboard. Everything just feels dialed in, like it knows what it’s doing and sticks to it. Easy to get into, easy to stay with, and way more memorable than I expected.
- svei3 april 2026Its great on many levels. The satire of american violence culture is a bit more subtle than the comics, but it’s there. The violence is over the top, the aesthetic flourishes abound, long stretches of the movie have this hyperpop feel, and as usual Karl Urban looks like he’s sh*tt*ng his pants (or recently did) for most of the movie. This is the second filming of dredd, I think the UK authors of the comic character wanted to get some brits to redo it, the first version with Sly Stallone was probably too unabashedly pro violence, this one makes the violence ugly and stupid (but also a bit funny), in the vein of other satirical action flicks like the terrific Starship Troopers.
