I plan on checking it out and I assumed the general concensus would be that it was alot better than Stallone's travesty.But it seems there's still a bit of a backlash against it.

However, some people seemed to have hated it and some people seem to think it is just ok.
So I would recommend watching it to see if it is your cup of tea
The presence of Lena Heady should be sufficient warning.:eek:
DREDD was written and filmed before The Raid, despite being released afterwards.
In fact, IIRC, the script for DREDD leaked online before The Raid was made...
Ah right. I wasn't trying to suggest that one had copied the other; just that when I saw Dredd, I'd recently seen a film with a very similar plot.
I'll just wait till one Xmas its aired on tv. The cinema trailers didn't sell it to me and I did like the points you made about the comic, you need the basic character qualities/ feeling in there, so might be another stallone clone..
agree.mega city 1 didnt have the futuristic look of the comic or stallone version.apart from that,it was still pretty good and the better of the 2 versions.i've read theres still a chance of a sequel depending on dvd/blu ray sales.
Personally I think it lacks the vision needed to make a genuinely interesting film, so it's probably a 7 out of 10.
Plus all the violence making it an 18 in the UK meant a lot of younger viewers would not have been able to see it, they should have toned down the violence and aimed for a lower rating, I didn't think the CGI blood was all that convincing.
