Dredd Review

[@atomicskull6405]

John Wagner himself gave this movie his approval and said that Carl Urban made a perfect Judge Dredd.

[@Jeffrey314159]

I have no problem with Karl Urban playing Judge Dredd, I have a problem with the character, as in no character development - - people are tired of all these killing machines

[@MrDanAng1]

@@Jeffrey314159 I think Dredd have a character development. Sure, it isn't big, and it is subtle, but he go from following the law to the letter to pass judge Anderson to whom justice is more important than the letter of the law. A small recognition that justice and law doesn't nescessarily is the same thing, the circumstamces of the people who do certain things may or even should be counted as a factor.

@@Jeffrey314159 Of course the distinction make a difference! And Dredd is not a merciless executioner ever, just highly one sided about the law and live in a society where human lives isn't valued in the same way it is in ours. I would not say my subjective understanding of the movie is correct, and yours is wrong, but I certainly don't agree so I will not try to change your mind, just point out why I don't agree.

[@adamstringer7092]

I think that while the Stallone film got the visual style of the comics right, it was still a typical 90s action flick. This film properly captured the comics' tone which can be considered more important; it's not about looking right, rather it's about feeling right.

[@SuperMicklovin]

Adam Stringer The comics are a parody that don't take themselves seriously at all.

[@atomicskull6405]

Yeah but it's gallows humor not goofball humor.

[@caseykearin6310]

Stallone know's his audience, and he know's what money is. That being said his version took some turns for the worse (constant helmet removal, romantic elements, silly CGI). The overall branding of Stallone movies can damage them as well, a more muted ad campaign with less romance would have been more pleasing to hardcore fans.

[@Doctor_Odin]

Actually was important to the right balance between the look in the overall story. To get the overall feel just right. Only problem the first one had was they were banking on Stallone's household name. while knowing full well no one knew about the comic series until the movie. And it turned into a generic campy sci-fi Action Movie. While this one bombed because they concentrated too much on thread again the character this time instead of the actor. Where there was barely anything sci-fi about it as a result. What's the end result being a very generic buddy cop movie within a dystopian future with a little tiny bit of Sci-Fi in it.

[@Kenneth_A_H]

@@Doctor_Odin Just because there are two cops in it does not make it a "Buddy" Cop film. There needs to be a comedic friendship element that this film lacks.

[@wugglesx]

I have to admire that karl urban not only had enough confidence in himself but respect for the source material, that he never removed the helmet. Something other actors or studios would go out of their way to force in often times ruining the feel\flow or at least disappointing fans

[@wugglesx]

Headey and thirlby did really well in it too.

[@grantpflum6844]

You know, the presence of those four Judges on the take do a lot to explain why Dredd never got called to Peacetree earlier. They likely share jurisdiction for that area, otherwise they couldn't cover for MaMa, and went out of their way to take all the calls for that block while Dredd took more active crimes rather than investigations.

[@LupineShadowOmega]

Plus Dredd mentioned earlier in the film that they only had the manpower to deal with 6% or so of the calls they received. MegaCity One is massive and it seems pretty likely that jurisdiction was variable because of how often they'd need to move Judges around or replace lost Judges.

[@faolan1686]

Dredd does explain to Anderson that they only have the manpower to responded to 6% of calls.

[@KenMabie]

the whole society doesnt have 96% unemployment, just Peach Trees has a 96% unemployment .. she even says "in sector 13" so Peach Trees "has the highest crime rate in sector 13, (and an) unemployment of 96%" in other words its a section 8 housing project .. ... small quip i have about your review other than that the rest was great and so is this movie

[@PhantomBones101]

Barack Clinton In a sensible world that would hold up. But Dredd's world is a lot like Mad Max's. Logic isn't exactly abundant.

[@wheatboi8255]

And they just killed 4 corrupt judges so the fact that she may not be good at her job but at least she's not corrupt may have made the difference.

[@Jeffrey314159]

As a judge, her primary weapon is her gun, the Lawgiver

[@reloadpsi]

@@Jeffrey314159 Be that as it may, that was a clever workaround.

[@jeffe8961]

I think the pass/fail criteria that Dredd used for her was his own, not rules set up by their authorities. Ultimately, he determines if she passes or not and so he is just laying out the guidelines for what he feels is acceptable behavior from her. That is why in the end, when Dredd's superior asks if she is a pass or a fail, she doesn't ask for any clarification as to why he made the decision. It wasn't necessary because the decision was his to make based on how he rated her performance by his own standards.

[@davidarbogast37]

Yeah plus she also saved his life so I'm sure that had a huge part in it.

[@LupineShadowOmega]

@@davidarbogast37 I don't think it is. If anything Dredd probably doesn't care. Just like he didn't care about Anderson's powers or the politics behind the choice that the chief was trying to point out to him. Dredd was just being himself and he was probably chosen specifically because of how impartial his choice would be/appear. And it sort of was. Not because he didn't have feelings for how things went, but because he passed her because he thinks she will be good at the job and get things done.

[@davidarbogast37]

@@LupineShadowOmega well isn't saving lives part of the job, or should be rather? I feel like it had a little bit to do with his decision though because if he didn't care about dying or being saved he probably wouldn't have delayed the person about to shoot him and would have just let the person shoot him.

[@mmluon]

​@@LupineShadowOmega Totally agree.

[@TheFrugalVideoGamer]

I think the reason people are willing to overlook the aesthetics of the setting not matching the source material is how well the characterization and tone matches it, while the other movie had the inverse - matching aesthetic, but the tone and characterization were wildly different.

[@CaptainAmercia]

You can still do both have the dark tone of the Dredd combined with the unique aesthetic of 2000AD Rogue One and the Mandalorian are great examples bring Star Wars into a more grounded and textured feel. Same with Mega city one itself the 2000AD city looked amazing and would work in the movie if don right.

[@victorconway444]

You're right, it doesn't look like the original city. It looks better. If I were to imagine a crime ridden, somewhat futuristic shithole megacity at the outskirts of a desert wasteland, this comes pretty close.

[@Ticketman99]

A city in the 2090s - 2100s?

[@CaptainAmercia]

It looks like cape town with tower blocks not Mega City One from the 2000AD comics which had its own unique style. Its like watching Star Wars without the retrofuturism designs wouldn't feel as much like Star Wars which is my problem with the city in Dredd as a massive 2000AD fan. Dredd is the better movie its amazing but the 1995 movie pulled off the Comic book look so well it looks like they pulled it straight from the pages. My ideal sequel would be the look of the 1995 movie with the dark tone of Dredd with the over the top elements from the comics.

[@Narezaath]

It was established in the movie, that Anderson has to consciously use her psychic powers, that's why they don't run constantly and she's vulnerable to ambush. Makes sense, too, imagine doing your job while a thousand voices scream in your head.

[@monstersinc.793]

There's one thing this Judge Dredd movie never had: RICO.

[@CoolG97]

Did Decker leave out the bit where Mama says she has bombs around Peach trees and has a device that detects her heart beat and if it were to stop, the bombs would blow. This leading to Dredd shooting her, giving her Slow-Mo and throwing her out the window, because the signal (Probably) wouldn't be reached from the ground floor.

[@BigBWolf90]

He passed Anderson cuz throughout he saw her grow from just going academically to using her own judgement. Note the scene where she asks if she gave the wrong answer and he says "well you're the psychic." Plus her determination to see it through. If you want a better explanation look up the video Dredd: Anderson's Assessment

[@AnimeSquirrel]

I liked the look and feel of this heavenly underrated movie. The armor looks like armor, unlike the comic, and it feels like everything could exist with in our current scope of modernism.

[@CaptainAmercia]

biggest problem is it just lacks personally like the armour but everything else is forgettable they had a low budget so it explains why Mega City One and the sets don't look as close to the Comic so they went for a more realistic look. I personally prefer the Comic look its more unique and is filled with character you can make these elements feel more real for example Star Wars is a great example they have a retrofuturism look but still feel real as every elements looks used and dirty that's all you really need to do with Dredd use the comic art style and deigns but add texture and dirt to them.

[@AnimeSquirrel]

@@CaptainAmercia true enough. Theres also the "must try to attract the normies" that all these movies have to submit to. Megacity 1 us just so over the top that I doubt any live action movie could truly capture it. For what we got, Dredd is a great interpretation imo.

[@CaptainAmercia]

@@AnimeSquirrel Comic book, Superheroes etc. All these are as big as ever so I can the art style actually being in more people than turning ones off. A Sin City style Dredd movie would be amazing have a very visual movie with the classic costumes and architecture just with a darker tone to it with amazing cinematography and unique shots.

[@quiettimegaming3642]

Kind of missed the idea that Dredd saying Anderson was a pass is more in concept than anything else, seeing as he was already aware that Anderson had decided that she wouldn’t cut it as a judge, which is why she turned in her badge immediately after exiting the block. He’s mostly saying “she would have been a good one”... which based upon what we’ve seen is the highest praise anyone could have gotten from a guy like Dredd after a day like that.

[@AgentLevitar]

If I may, I feel the reason Dredd passes Anderson is because unlike the 4 Judges who had power and were corrupted by temptation, Anderson has the temptation to drop the good guy act and stop helping Dredd in taking down the Ma-Ma clan. But she p much said "Screw that. I said I was gonna help make Mega City One a better place and I'm doing that, Judge or not." The other Judges fell into the temptation of money. In essence, after seeing the corruption of 4 Judges, he knew that someone like Anderson, despite not being as technically proficient on the field yet, deserved the title of Judge more than those 4 as she never surrendered her integrity throughout the film.

[@weybye91]

plus she can think for herself

[@Fenris77]

The first movie they simply tried to add too much in the movie and the biggest blasphemy of all = Dredd removing his helmet revealing Sly Stallone with almost azure blue eyes... This movie was awesome and deserves a sequel as Carl urban was definitely better as Dredd than Stallone.

I'm kind of glad that it was more "realistic" to a point, because not all of the comic's stuff can translate too well into film (I'm glad they kept the regular swears instead of using the made up future slang swears).

[@sakanaforty-six1216]

I honestly have no idea how I found your channel, @Decker Shado, but you're pretty great

[@tobiasnexus4391]

Decker did miss that the reason Dredd gives Mama the slowmo is to keep her heartbeat going to prevent the deadman's hand she connected to her heart rate from detonating the bombs she placed around the upper section. He threw her off with that to cause the signal to disconnect rather than report a flatline and detonate

[@yoshijb9428]

Wouldn't that create the same affect? I.e. the signal was to weak to maintain a signal of the status of the heart assume flatline. Activate detonation.

[@JohnAvengerJR1985]

in the comics the unemployment rate is explained by automation . That also explains the high crime rate . People are bored and have nothing to do so enrolling either in city def units or juve gangs is something pretty normal . This leads to the various blocs having frequent brawls between their gangs and city def units etc . There are jobs that are utterly demeaning but people flock by the tens of thousands to get , foot stool , shop manikin and so on . In some cases there are riots when a job opens up . There are also thousands of channels to broadcast endless tv shows and reality tv plus bizzare games were the fatties ( people enhanced to eat up to one ton and live to tell the tale ) engage in eating contests or gladiatorial contests ( one touching story has a fatie father breaking the law to get money and enter the contests ring ) .

I actually thought the regular "modern day" look of most of the film worked to its benefit - it really added a nice contrast to the high tech equipment that the judges use, which made the wholly unrealistic aspect of two "future super-cops" vs. thousands of gang members seem more acceptable, because the gang is using archaic 21st century guns (possibly modified though) vs. the Judges' super-versatile hand-guns/cannons. But then, I never collected the comics and only had a cursory understanding of them...

[@CaptainAmercia]

The 2000AD city had a much more 1950s retrofuturism look to it like Metropolis or New New York to it which I personally could see down well in a live action movie all you'd need to do is add a textured and dirty look to it like Tim Burtons Gotham. As a fan of the comics I was disappointed with the city just looked like Cape Town with tower blocks instead of Mega City One but I loved the tower block stuff i think it was mostly the budget it limited them from really going all out so they decided to just stay with a modern look.

Carl urban is an awesome underrated actor,, how many of you remember him in the LORD OF THE RINGS ? or PATHFINDER ( good Viking-tribal movie )

[@kinagrill]

Urban don't need to remove his helmet, since that Dredd-pout is recognizable enough. :p Also Decker you really miss a lot of notable details, such as the Judges only have enough solid manpower to cover about.... if I recall correctly it's around 14% of all reported crimes each day. They cannot catch up with it... they can merely respond to what feels like the most notable of crimes. And then there's the crimes that interfer with an active judge to take him away from a potential other crime reported.

Dear Decker Since the new Ghost in the Shell movie is coming out, could you review the animated movies? Your loyal fan, Alex

[@johnnymcauliffe1289]

I saw this last night. My wife pointed out that it MUST have taken influence from "Dirty Harry." Not only does Karl Urban sound like Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan, but the plot is like a mix of the first two films...(1) stopping at nothing to track down a criminal whose been terrorizing the city, and (2) serving justice to corrupt cops.

[@HappyCynic]

The character was based on Dirty Harry.

[@nicholasgrandfield8168]

I wonder why the description says its, "3 Years ago." Even though it would have back 2017 by then.

[@Aprion]

"Your straight white ass is fired." That cracked me up way more than it should have XD

[@Twiska]

I wish to point out Anderson is telepathic and not pre-cognisant. Also, she has to actively use her powers which requires concentration. So it does make sense for her not to see things coming or get snuck up on.

[@toasega]

For a second there I thought he'd ONLY review the Stallone Dredd and never the remake.

[@GameplayandTalk]

I still haven't seen this one yet, but based on the review it seems like the setting most of the plot takes place in makes for some cool action sequences.

[@backwoodsbrooksknives4625]

That is a very nice judge as well. Is it the 3" chamber model, I get them confused when they have the long barrels.

[@dayaninikhaton]

I must have watched this episode a dozen times and it just now dawned on me that the revolver Decker was holding was the Taurus Judge. I see what you did there...

[@charliemills6235]

Great review, here are some suggestions for the future: - Any Bruce Lee film - The Chucky films - A Serbian Film - The Exorcist

[@AbrorAkh]

Charlie Mills Michael Myers?

[@justgween7573]

and here I am, waiting for the '82 Thing

[@ck552]

Pretty sure he won't review A Serbian Film.

[@justgween7573]

+Tupac Spock I second that notion.

[@lessthanwilliam7152]

Aw hell no, ain't no way in hell he is gonna do A Serbian Film

[@gambitoandrews6022]

absolutely love this movie and your style fella. watched so many of your vids since subscribing on Friday. keep em coming cause I'm gonna run out👍✌👍

[@TheOneTrueStAN]

I remember seeing this in theaters, I went in thinking it was gonna be pretty shit like the Stallone one but I ended up really enjoying tf out of it. I'm not even familiar with the comics I just thought this was a better movie than the older one.

[@cone3969]

I wish they at least showed the Dark Judges for a short moment so we would know if a sequel was coming.

[@Jeffrey314159]

You've heard of torture porn, this whole movie is murder porn! 4:48 Lena Heady's name is pronounced 'Leena Heedy'. 6:10 In the comic book the unemployment rate for Megacity One stood at ~50% 12:19 Those are not Gatling Guns, they are Vulcan Machine Guns 14:33 They crow-barred in this scene to show that Dredd is not a mindless killing machine 20:42 In the commentaries for this flick on DVD they claimed the budget was 45 million dollars Science Fiction is the most unAmerican of genres in its obsessive love affair with bleak visions of our world and our future. The late Ray Bradbury agreed with me on this point 17 years ago!

[@davekp6773]

Jeffrey314159 Got that right. Dredd is a British film based on British characters. Us Brits love dystopia. Check out the thriller High Rise, another dystopian film based in a Tower block. In a different medium, a novel, check out Half Head by Stuart Macbride. Another dystopian sci fi tale more or less based in or around, you got it, a tower block.

[@Jeffrey314159]

Dai Kil I just watched an impassioned description of this novel of which you speak at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mICynZiIhLCJqtk Very lurid description of this means of futuristic punishment by a guy whose accent is so thick you can cut it with a knife

[@Agelis]

I absolutely loved this film, the fact they never expanded on it, really made me sad :(

[@willieryder3872]

Great vid! It's actually true that zones with the highest crime rate most typically have the lowest police deployment. The primary purpose of an american police force is to deter crime from already safe areas,not to drive crime from it's hive spaces. The hives are just forsaken. I know the exact forsaken zone for Austin. Street with no patrol cars ever.

[@deinosuchus2003]

Here in Brisbane city, Queensland Australia, peach trees is a camping site. Huh.

[@That_Revenant_Guy]

This movie is in my top 10. Never gets old for me, and watched it many times as I've watched Demolition man, which is a quite a bit.

[@TVHecdirt]

Why doesn't this man have more subscribers he deserves it he got the looks the hair and the video quality of a star

[@kinagrill]

Decker, to be fair, by lore of the film itself, the Hall of Justice can only respond to about... what... 14 percent of all emergency calls and each judge gets to evaluate the value of a call before going there.

[@CodGodess]

I don’t care what anyone says I loved this movie, by no means perfect but Karl Urban owned that Dredd. I’m glad they toned down the futuristic stuff and kept it low key and believable. If this got re released I bet it would be a hit.

[@CaptainAmercia]

The tone down was mostly because of budgets. I personally prefer the CyberPunk mixed with retro futuristic look Mega City one has it just looked more unique. The look of the first movie could be explained as a earlier version of Mega City One Dredd himself seems to be unknown by the gangs unlike the comic and we get to see the first mutant Judge in this movie in the comics there’s a whole division of mutant Judges so this movie seems to be set early on sequels or shows would’ve developed the city to a more faithful comic book look where we see an older Dredd. I would also love to see the more weird side of the 2000AD universe in a sequel.

[@user-wg3gc5uz1g]

The hero we need now more than ever...Not all hero’s wear capes, some just have really amazing hair!!

[@Darkpara1]

Tragic this never became a franchise

[@Sirrizz]

The biggest injustice is not giving this movie a well deserved sequel.

[@McLeanAmy]

Really engaging review!

[@l33fox]

This movie never disappoints every time I watch it. Although I love Sly Stallone Karl Urban was a perfect pick for the character he should have been way more moody though.
