I just don't understand the point of it: someone bumps the thread with some news they are clearly excited about - why then feel the need to blunder in yet again with the exact same criticisms just to pour cold water all over them, and additionally insult anyone who might also like an entirely different film into the bargain.

 

It's a really joy sapping activity, specifically considering the same criticisms have long since been brought up already so it can't achieve anything else except put people off from posting. Which if that's the intention it's pretty much just trolling at this point.

It’s important to notice that the stream of negative posts are all actually from the same person, in case anyone is just scanning down the thread and thinks that popular opinion on this film has changed.

 

I don’t buy that there will be a sequel though. What is it now, 10 years after the original? We’ll be lucky to get the odd cameo in the TV project if that ever gets off the ground.

It’s also important to note that the stream of negative posts are actually the only ones in the thread worth reading, and popular opinion on this flick has always and will always be wrong.

See Spider-man No Way Home and Ghostbusters: Afterlife recently.

 

The constant need to tell people for the umpteenth time that they don't like something when the threads are bumped is just weird.

There once was a poster name ZOK

Who saw the film Dredd and said "Drokk!

Karl Urban's weak chin

Has ruined this thing

I'll moan all the time on the 'muk"

 

I don't care that the rhyming isn't perfect so don't even bother.

Not as weird as impotently crying about it every time though, is it? If you’re going to weep, at least try and be creative with it.

Stallone as Dredd (until the helmet came off of course), Hammerstein, Angel Gang, Lawmasters etc all looked great in that film. Design was one of the few things they got spot on with it.


This guy gets it.

He wasn't awful, but he's got a voice that sounds like someone with a high voice trying to make it sound like a low voice...Daniel Craig suffers from the same lack of manliness (especially in Layer Cake, god that film is terrible). You spend the whole film thinking it's going to turn into a squeak.

 

Plus, his lack of a proper chin really adds to the 'not Dredd' effect, for me. That guy who plays Don Draper would probably have been better.


It’s been so long since I’ve seen it that I forgot Urban’s weedy voice as well…man alive, he was such rotten casting from the get go - the prospect of him resurrecting this ‘portrayal’ is just another nail in the coffin of the prospect of there ever being a decent Judge Dredd brought to screens.

He's changed a lot over the years:

God he looks like such a dweeb there doesn't he? Fresh out of the academy with his idealistic Defence of the Law bullshit.

 

Just one month later, after being out on the streets wading through the thick of Mega City One's chaotic human gumbo, he considered himself the law and his chin was four and a half foot long

The helmet is a tricky one to translate to live action. The way they made it huge, with huge 'eyes' somewhere around Urban's forehead, does his chin no favours whatsoever.

 

(I've always thought Dread's helmet confusingly iconic and shit looking at the same time)

But presumably not when it came to casting Dredd 3D.


Ah, but did you ever consider that they deliberately cast someone who was chin neutral to avoid Dredd’s jaw jutting out of the screen in magnificent 3D and making the audience duck when he turned his head ?

I think you could be right. Sadly they went too far in the other direction, and seeing Urban’s face and Dredd helmet in 3D was like watching someone shrink from view, like Homer Simpson receding into a bush.

Not happening. All has gone quiet at Rebellion Film Studios, as well as on the Mega City One TV series and Rogue Trooper film. Funding issues I guess?

 

I reckon so, yes. Covid put paid to a lot of productions and this has been way too quiet to be an active production.

I think it Mike McMahon who really nailed the massive chin look we all knew and loved

It's Bolland, but thanks for playing. All the other ridiculous caricatures that followed many years after can get fucked. That guy above, that's Dredd, was always Dredd, will always be Dredd. I read progs sporadically from number 2 up to somewhere sub 100 and I later picked up again from prog 116 and read it religiously to 700+. I always favoured Brian Bolland for Dredd, followed by Ron Smith and the rest varied with me. I know this is the film thread but Dredd always had a very strong but entirely human chin, before they let idiots draw him.
