'Dredd (2012)' is much better than the Stallone version. This gritty and true-to-the-comics adaptation has plenty of brutal action and sharp dialogue. The characters are relatable, the world is excellently painted and Urban's performance is on-point. The taut pace keeps you on the edge-of-your-seat throughout, and it's this that is perhaps the piece's greatest strength. That, and the fact it is a proper adult science-fiction aimed at the same audience as its source-material. It doesn't compromise and feels almost like a pulpy 80s move in the best way possible, stripped-back and blood-thirsty. It's a remarkable achievement considering its budget. 7/10

One of the most underrated movies in the last few years, Dredd provides an action filled escape from reality by taking you inside the walls of Mega City One, to the ruthless streets & blocks policed the men & women of the halls of justice... The Judges!Directed by Pete Travis, this is a superb film showing how action films can and should be done. Unfortunately, the film tries to make use of 3D technology with the aim of giving a more immersive experience for the viewer and although 3D technology (in film) is now defunct, this doesn't detract from the action sequences in anyway.Karl Urbans performance as Dredd is spot on and fans of Judge Dredd will not be let down.. a calm, resolute, stern and weary character that accurately portrays what years of bringing justice to the streets of Mega City One would feel like.The storyline is relatively simple too, and closely resembles the Indonesian film The Raid (another excellent film). Detractors of Dredd might feel it stole the plot, but Dredd was conceived first and all similarities are most likely down to pure coincidence. If you haven't seen this film, then add it to the top of your list as it's a must!!Here's hoping they eventually make a much deserved sequel with Karl Urban reprising the role.

I have watched Dredd five times now and i like it more every time. Perfect actors, perfect soundtrack, perfect CGI, perfect Dredd. I just dont understand the 7.1 rating here. its a 8.5 at least. Give it a try, you will love this masterpiece. Its a welcome change to the general stupidity which plagues blockbuster movies now a days.

I know this wasn't a box office hit, but this movie was pretty damn creative and awesome. I know a sequel is questionable, but it has potential. Maybe they should step up the marketing department here :(
