Hi Ya Jen, as you probably realise by now Dredd is NOT a remake of the Stallone film. The 2000AD Comic is Dredds origin, there were two main artists that worked on Dredd. The Stallone version is close to the art style of John Wagner, this film represent the art style of Carlos Ezquerra. Both are good (but I'm not keen on the stallone version) if you watch both you'll get a bigger picture on the world. Judge Anderson became a character in her own right and appeared with Dredd on several occasions. This film is a masterpiece afaic, Karl IS Judge Dredd, Olivia plays Anderson beautifully. I'd love a sequel.

I loved your reaction to this, Jen, it was excellent. This film and the previous one are both based off a British comic called 2000AD, Judge Dredd is a Street Judge he's never seen without his helmet in the comics, the guns that Street Judges have are called 'Law Givers' each one is coded to a particular Judge anyone else trying to use one suffers the consequences, the guns have multiple firing modes. The Stallone film is okay, a bit more comic book like and less serious compared to this, but it's enjoyable. As you're interested in Sci-Fi, Jen, please can I recommend the film, 'Westworld' it's celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, it's quite an important film in Sci-Fi, without it many popular films would have never been made.

Judge Dredd is THE British comic book icon. He has been dispensing justice in Mega-City One, since 1977, in the comic, 2000AD. The Stallone movie has the advantage of a higher budget, and achieves the look of Mega-City One, but it's campy and commits the ultimate crime of showing Dredd's face. (His face is NEVER shown in the comic). This film is the true spirit of Dredd...

The only times you see Dredd without a helmet in the comics, they go out of the way to emphasize and remind the reader that Dredd's face has been surgically altered, so you aren't actually seeing Dredd's face. Just someone else's. Considering the plotline of the 90's movie, they could have held on until about the midpoint, then just said that, and the complaints about removing the helmet would have been meaningless. Oh well. This is still a great movie and it deserves a sequel, even though we'll never see it.

I remember when the British comic book 2000AD came out. It was totally wild and had some great storylines: going back in time to hunt dinosaurs for present day meat consumption; the worlds Disputes fought out with small platoon sized teams instead of full out war= the winner is right; Harlem Globetrotters with jet packs and of course Judge Dread. Dread was the main man: hard hitting, no nonsense, judge, jury n executioner. The stories were quite eye opening - especially for a 10 year old and critical to society… and handled some quite adult and philosophical themes. 2000AD was a massive success in the UK and brought many into the comic book pop culture world with its bleak messages of a dystopian future world and the ultimate power of both capital and corporations. Excellent review as always. Hoping you hit that 50k soon. You deserve it 😊

(Armor piercing for example is good for penetrating armor, but it might overpenetrate and cause more collateral damage, or pass clean through without stopping the perp.)

Dredd, Judge Dredd, is based on the character of the same name from the '2000 AD' comics. They're British comics that have been running since 1977. "2000 AD" sounded futuristic at the time. They didn't expect it to run this long. '2000 AD' is a comics anthology magazine. "Judge Dredd is the magazine's longest-running character, and in 1990 he got his own title, the Judge Dredd Megazine. He also appears in a number of film and video game adaptations. Judge Dredd is a law enforcement and judicial officer in the dystopian future city of Mega-City One, which covers most of the east coast of North America. He is a "street judge", empowered to summarily arrest, convict, sentence, and execute criminals. In Great Britain, the character of Dredd and his name are sometimes invoked in discussions of police states, authoritarianism, and the rule of law. Over the years, Judge Dredd has been hailed as one of the best satires of American and British culture, with an uncanny ability to predict upcoming trends and events such as mass surveillance, the rise of populist leaders, and the COVID-19 pandemic"

This movie was effectively directed by Alex Garland, even though he gets no credit for it. He wasn't SUPPOSED TO BE the director, but the guy who gets the credit was a mess and got locked out of the editing process entirely, and Garland (the writer of the movie) took over and put the movie together himself. Alex Garland is lowkey one of the best directors around, and part of why he's so unrecognized is that this was his first movie and he got nearly ZERO credit as a director for it. Again, he was a WRITER. He was never supposed to direct this. This was his FIRST thing he directed. I VERY VERY VERY strongly recommend checking out Alex Garland's movies Ex Machina and Annihilation. Garland is.....unreasonably talented.

Surprisingly, I think this came out when people were getting tired of "slow mo action shots", but Dredd incorporated them cleverly by putting them only in scenes where people were taking the slomo drug. Yes, Dredd is based of a comic and like in the comic Dredd never takes off his helmet or the reader never sees his face if he does. Dredd (2012) is closer in tone to the original comic, but is more muted in terms of style. Judge Dredd (1995) is more accurate in terms of aesthetics of the world, but Stallone isn't really playing a character and is just himself in a scifi action movie. There are points fans like and dislike of both. I would recommend the Judge Dredd (1995) film, because it is fun and entertaining.

Judge Dredd first appeared in the comic, 2000 AD, in 1977, before getting his own book in 1990. As far as I know, he’s never taken his helmet off. This is such an underrated film. Karl Urban really captured the Dredd of the comic. This is one film that totally deserved a sequel. The 1995 Sly Stallone version just pales in comparison.

Judge Dredd is an interesting comic. The story is ongoing, so Dredd is getting older and the world is changing. While at its core it's a beat cop story of a dude patrolling his city, there's politics, other cities, wars and cataclysms, off-world colonies, aliens, alternative dimensions, magic, etc. Sometimes other 2000AD characters would make appearances. Judge Anderson got her own spin-off series, focusing more on paranormal stuff. There's also stuff like the Dead World series, which chronicles the the rise of the Dark Judges (undead judges from an alternative universe where life itself is a crime), and Jack Point the "Simping Detective" ("simp" in the series is short for simpleton or an idiot, as he dresses up like a clown), a member of the Wally Squad (undercover judges) working as a private investigator.

In the beginning, when a Judge offers you a deal it's like a plea bargain. Only they don't mess around if you don't take it. Also another fun thing is that this is just another day for him.

Hi Jen, glad you enjoyed the film. I remember when the weekly comic first came out, it launched in early 1977. It was the 2000 A.D. British kids comic & Dredd was one of the main characters along with Dan Dare (Space Pilot). As well as those two my other favourite characters were Strontium Dog (Mutant Bounty Hunter) & Rogue Trooper (Genetic Soldier).

I LOVE that they went with a "day in the life" setup, instead of Dredd trying to save the whole city/universe/etc. I would love for this to become a Netflix/HBO type show, where we get 10 episodes a season, and only 1-2 deal with Dredd personally, but have much more development to surrounding cast etc. Save the "mega" events until at least season 3.

Dredd is based on a long-running UK comic. Judge Dredd's face is never shown. The Stallone movie was panned for showing Dredd's face. It's rare for studios to hire big stars and not show their face. In this movie, Karl Urban plays Dredd. He also played Dr. McCoy in the newer J.J. Abrams Star Trek movies and Butcher in The Boys.

26:57 Armor piercing bullets can have the unfortunate tendency to over penetrate - i.e. hit who/what you want to shoot, pass right through and keep going to hit someone/something you don't want to shoot especially in a densely populated urban environment.

Yay! Jen watches Dredd. She is da lawww! (Wait, that's more like the Stallone version). 🙌💥🤯☺️ I wish this had been successful enough for a sequel with Judge Death and more Psi Judge Anderson. Edit: Ma-Ma fell for a looooong time before she blew. Reference for people who know 80s music, Karl Urban's mouth looks like Ian McCulloch from Echo and the Bunnymen pouting in his Judge helmet.

A decade before Robocop. There was Dredd, Judge Dredd. Based on the comic series from U.K. publisher, 2000s A.D. This cinematic masterpiece was released in theaters during it's 35th anniversary. Karl Urban as Dredd was phenomenal, Olivia Thirlby as C. Anderson with her power was real cool (had a spin-off series too) and Lena Headey as Ma-Ma is fiendishly good, so scary with her stare. It was in the 3D format. Making the Slo-Mo scenes look crystal clear and colorful, weather you like it or not. Pete Travis was credited as director. But dued to creative differences, screenwriter Alex Garland became the main director. The 1995 version with Sly Stallone was a big-budget summer blockbuster and took some liberties with the material. This 2012 version is extremely close to the material and perfectly done. Never removing his helmet, among other things. Despite the Box Office, this truly deserves more sequels. So much about Dredd's saga that needs to be seen. CASE CLOSED. COURT'S ADJOURNED!!!!!

Judge Dredd comics were a key part of my teenage years. You are exactly right that the comics (and the movie) purposefully cut across the expected trope (in this authoritarian dystopia the judges are the heros). But that gave space to explore a bunch of standard sci-fi themes from a different angle. The story arc of Judge Dredd suppressing pro-democracy protests in Mega City One was great. Where does the legitimacy of the law that Judge Dredd embodies come from? The people or necessity? Had a fun twist or two as you would expect.

The Stallone version had the look of the comics and that's about it, but Dredd absolutely nails the soul and feel of the MegaCity One universe. This movie is hands down my favourite comic adaptation. You should check out "The Raid" if you liked this. It's an Indonesian action movie with a similar premise (cops trapped in a high rise and hunted by the gang members) with some incredible fight scenes. Definately worth a watch imo.

Judge Dredd first appeared in the British Scifi comic 2000AD, back in 1977. The character and the comic are both still going. In the comic, Dredd ages in realtime, so is now in his mid 80's (although he had used rejuvenation machines to keep himself in shape). We also never see Dredd's face, because he is supposed to be the faceless embodiment of the Law. Judge Anderson is also a major character in the Dredd universe. There have been a number of comic crossovers between Dredd and Batman, Alien and Predator.

One reason this film is so good is because it stayed true to its source. It wasn't sanitised so it could screen to a wider audience (looking at you Disney), it didn't have a forced romance sub-plot, it didn't try and pack too many clever things in to try and disguise a poor plot and poor dialogue. What we did get was great characters, cohesive and well executed style and of course, awesome action.

This was one of only 2 movies I ever saw in 3D. The format never impressed me until this film due to its "Slo-Mo" sequences. You thought they were trippy in 2D? 3D was on another level. I love Karl Urban in just about anything and Lena Headey is always a fantastic villain. This is a much more serious and comic-accurate version of Judge Dredd vs. the Stallone Dredd from the 90s. That's still a fun film, though, which felt tonally similar to something like another Sly film: "Demolition Man."

Thanks for your reaction, this is a really great movie! 27:00 The reason why you wouldn't want all bullets to be armor piercing is because (depending on your goal, of course), they are not what you want against unarmored targets. Standard rounds (in today's technology) are made from lead, which is heavy but malleable, usually designed to mushroom against fleshy targets, making sure all the energy of the round is dispersed into the target, shredding muscle and sinews while shattering bone. An armor piercing round is made out of much harder materials, so it can pass through the armor and still hit the target. It's not going to transfer as much energy into the flesh, though, it's going to pass right through, dealing less internal damage than a standard lead round. Basically it's the difference between a bullet going straight through an apple and another one liquifying it.

This movie is great. The characters are awesome. You can see Anderson learning. When you suggest she scans people at the beginning and doesnt do it and get taken, she learns and does it when she meets the corrupt judge. I love it. This world is crazy. There is so much crime everybody has to live in fear or barely make it. The law can't catch up ever to even make it even, so you need super strong people to be judges, people who don't falter because you know they could spend tehir whole life (if they survive) while wondering if what they do actually matters. As far as the old Dredd, its a fun movie but its very 90s actions so a lot more boom pow pow cheese than this contained story.
