Dredd [3D Blu-ray/Blu-ray + Digital Copy + UltraViolet]
D**3
A violently underrated cult classic.
Given the maligned reputation of Sylvester Stallone film Judg Dredd back in the 1995. It's no surprise that this film had no chance of success at the box office. That is the tragedy of this because the film is amazing. It took a basic plot and found a way to make it work perfectly by cranking the violence to an 11. The performance by everyone including Karl Urban as Dredd was amazing. Dredd that I know of in the graphic novel never takes off his helmet. Sylvester Stallone in the 95 film claimed he wanted to humanize the character by showing his face. I call B.S I think ego was involved here and he didn't like the idea of his face being covered the whole time. Karl Urban the true professional he is knew the character he knew that Dredd is the faceless symbol of the law. By leaving the mask on he's the boogeyman the criminals fear because they don't have a face to look at and his feats make him look mythological. The violence here is definitely not something certain younger audience should see so be warned. It definitely got popular a few years later after it's release back in 2012. But the studio definitely dropped the ball not taking advantage that the film was more successful in its physical release than theatrical. A sequel would've become successful and I believe it still would. Check this film out you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Horrific in a good way
Man is this a unique movie. Really a cult following kind of thing. Gorgeous slow motion 3D violence, all with a scrappy low-budget feel, and a movie where (deliberately) Dredd himself is only there for the story to play around so it's pretty unusual in its structure.It won't be to everyone's taste but it's definitely interesting to see.

A fun movie to rewatch every few years
Dredd is one of the best movies of its kind. The twists are modest but compelling. The heroes put a lot of humanity into their acting. The worldbuilding makes you wish this was a whole series. And the action scenes pull no punches.

Karl Urban hits a homerun here
That man is Dredd, grimace and all.People hate on the Stallone movie, probably because he takes the helmet off, but I think they're being unfair about it. There's no reason to hate on this version - the director and actors involved get it right. I was really worried that the female lead would be eye candy and nothing else, but they don't treat her as such she acts appropriately for who she's playing and I totally believed her role. The villian is the same - brutal, callous, cold-blooded. Dredd is perfect - brutal, cold-blooded, callous (notice the pattern here?).Definitely get it right - no sermonizing, no "message", just an engaging story.

Hundreds of one star reviewers don't know that Judge Dredd is -not- based on a horrible Stalone film.
I like Sly. He's done some good work in his years. I don't think he's a good actor per say, but a lot of his films are fun to watch.Judge Dredd, is not one of those films. It's one of the worst, if not the worst, film he's ever made. This is -not- a remake or reboot of that film. It intentionally had nothing to do with it and was made to correct the offense that film was for fans of Judge Dredd, which is a comic book.It get's everything right. The bad one liners, the hyper violent gore, and everything about this film is exactly what it should be. This was made by a fan of the character who knows the source material and did a wonderful job bringing it to life. The absence of the SF cuss "Drokk" is notable, but easily ignored. It doesn't appear in every issue of the comic, so it's not out of place that he doesn't say it in the film. Would have been a nice nod to fans to put it in there though, but this film does enough right that it's easily forgiven.It's perfectly okay to not like the film, but people should understand that the film is exactly what it supposed to be, what it should be, in every way. This is what Judge Dredd is and how he should be portrayed. If you didn't like it, it's not because there's something wrong with the film. It's because you're not a fan of this character, because this movie gets everything right.Judge Dredd is a comic book that was published in the British Anthology series 2000 AD and was first in it's pages in 1977 in the second issue of the anthology. He was written as an even more extreme and futuristic version of Harry Callahan from the Dirty Harry series, and his character was modeled after the leather clad biker on the Deathrace 2000 movie poster. He's essentially the Punisher with a badge and legal authority, and not the nice Thomas Jane version.He's not Sylvester Stallone, was never intended to be, and does not ever take his helmet off. In the original comic even when he's shown at home in his off time he's wearing it. He did remove it in one issue, but the reader never sees his face, and the people in the comic that do are horrified and disgusted, to the point of being violently sick.He's essentially a political satire from the 1970s. An extreme example pointing out the perceived flaws of the British justice system in the period. The comic became popular in the 80s and has been going strong ever since. Dredd is probably the most famous comic British comic book character in the world.This film was made by a fan of that comic with a deep love and understanding of the source. They knew what they were doing, got so many details right, and this is without doubt one of the best comic book adaptions ever made. Sin City is possibly the only film I can think of that does better, and that's because it's word for word and frame for frame the same as the comic. Every panel in Sin City is a frame in the film version.Reviewers that don't like it because it's violent, gory, brutish, and crude are making valid criticisms. If you're not into that sort of thing you're not going to like this film. Avoid it. Though, why someone who doesn't like those things is watching an R rated action film is beyond me. I'm left wondering what they were expecting it to be exactly.However, the hundreds of people who seem to think this is a bad remake of a Sly Stallone film are simply ignorant and should be ignored. This was intentionally made to have nothing to do with that film and was created to make up for everything that movie got wrong for fans of the character. It accomplished that amazingly well.This movie gets five stars from me. It's exactly what a comic book adaption should be. It's extremely true to the source material, and gets the details right. As a fan of the original comic, this film blew me away. It's a better comic adaption than anything put out by Marvel or DC in the last ten years. Not necessarily a better movie and certainly not a more popular one, but as an adaption that isn't word for word and frame for frame the same as the original comic, it's as true to the source as a comic book movie adaption can possible to be.

Great Movie and looks even better in 4K
Great movie, almost as good as the original. But solid for a reboot. I wish it would have started something but as a stand-alone, it was a solid action movie. The slow motion in the movie was great and looks even better on a 4K projector. The digital codes have expired so you won't be able to use those, but Amazon offered a partial refund for the inconvenience. I was just looking to have the description of the movie updated.
