Dredd
September. 21,2012 RIn the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.

Must See Movie...
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO. I'm one of the few people who did liked the 1995 Stallone driven Judge Dredd film and to me this film was kind of an insult. I did liked the girl and Lena's perfomance as Ma-ma but i think that Karl tried way hard to get into the shoes of that character. I mean at one point he acts like Stallone's Dredd and the next as Bale's Batman and a combination of different faces. The plot was also unoriginal and the Rated R at times a bit goofy it's basically like Conan in 3D but a bit better and still bad. (4/10)
In my opinion this movie was a great follow-up to the old movies with Sylvester Stallone and Carl Urban did a great job as well as Olivia Thirlby and Lena Headey.
Going into this film I knew nothing about Dredd except for the fact Stallone played in the first one. The action sequences are top notch and the chemistry between Dredd and Anderson is really the heart of this film and makes for an great classic story of the unlikely duo. Would recommend this film and watch it again if I saw it on television.
It is relatively known that most reboots don't always hit their mark. Dredd is not one of those reboots. A gritty, modern take on the classic Judge, Jury, and Executioner. Dredd presents and simple plot that feels original. It is able to feel more like a continuation. It doesn't try to tell the same story as the original, just the same bleak dystopian world and the same Judge Dredd. The action is very good and the visuals were amazing. The violence is over the top and it works so well. If you're a fan of the original or a newcomer, this movie is definitely worth a watch.
