Exploring Dredd

[@docleo2001]

Dredd is not a good/ bad movie. Its is a genuinely good movie.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Eric Horton don't let the name fool you I do more than just good/bad stuff :)

you are right, i tend to understand the "bad movie" part as "underrated" or "with bad results in the box office". History will make justice with this movie.

[@rob5687]

+GoodBadFlicks The previous Judge Dredd(Stallone) was definitely a good < bad movie. I remember when one of my buddies found it in my DVD collection I got a verbal beating.(A lot of them yelling "I am the LAW!") Would love to watch that episode, but something tells me It's been lost because of iblip.

[@jon-ericphoenixx7823]

Eric Horton DREDD Rules!!! There must be a sequel!!! No Karl Urban... No Olivia Thirlby... No DREDD... COME THE DROKK ON!!!!

[@jon-ericphoenixx7823]

Rob 56 Stallone gave the movie a black eye, compared to Karl Urban's version. I too, want to see a sequel, & it's so deserved by The Supporters of DREDD.

[@grendelum]

*Dredd* is the kind of film that if re-released in theaters would prolly do better this time around...

[@dsandoval9396]

I admit I didn't want to see it in theaters because it came out about the time a lot of movies were pushing the whole 3D thing as a gimmick. I thought it was going to be another cash grab. Then I caught it later on DVD. Now I WANT to see it in 3D.

[@grendelum]

I’ve been reading *Dredd* (and the rest of *2000AD)* since I was a kid in the 80s... I have to see each film in the theater, even after the horror show Stallone made. It is seriously amazing with the volume and screen size in a theater...

[@blackpanthro]

@@dsandoval9396 I got the chance of seeing it in theaters in 3D. The whole slow mo drug is amplified in 3D and its actually the way it was supposed to be seen. When movies like this fail, studios play it safe.

[@Miller09095]

It came out at a very competitive time. Movies like Batman Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, Django Unchained and more to compete with. Then the general lack of knowledge of Dredd probably didn't help. I just saw Dredd in 2020 and it's absolutely incredible. I wish I had seen it back in 2012.

[@CharlieD.706]

They’d cancel it so fast... wouldn’t stand a chance in this climate.

[@savage7882]

Karl urban dredd is 110% comic book dredd. He nailed the role perfectly

[@Spolodaface]

But Dredd isn't a dweeb in the comics

[@savage7882]

@@Spolodaface How is karl urban a dweeb

[@mazza4190]

110% Dredd would have been Clint Eastwood, if someone had thrown the cash at 2000AD in the 1970's. Urban was definitely 100% Dredd.

[@spiderjerusalem100]

As a long time fan of Dredd and 2000AD this was a joyous movie to watch. They nailed the look of Mega City 1 and it's a full on balls to the wall violent action fest. I have huge respect for Karl Urban for playing Dredd so well too. It was so refreshing to see a well made hard R rated action movie and it reminded me of the 1980's and early to mid 90's when action movies were in their prime. In a world where there are 5 Twilight movies and there are so many shitty horror and comedy movies that get multiple sequels, Dredd 2 deserves to be made.

[@chrismoller5366]

+Serpico's Beard Yup agree 98% with this. i was bit disapointed when saw first shot of Mega-city 1. but who is to say this is not before the many times itv got trashed and rebuilt.

[@luckystriker7489]

If I won the lottery, I would donate everything to a sequel.

[@jessea4438]

good for you, but seriously?

[@Fire-in-the-sky]

+Jesse A I mean he would be able to get the profits of the film if he was the sole supplier of money.

[@jessea4438]

John 117 tru, but you shouldn't waste all of your money on a sequel that may or may not happen. at least if we dont get one, we still have the original. but, im not one to tell people how to spend their money so he can do what he wants.

[@Fire-in-the-sky]

Jesse A I mean if he supplied the money, the sequel for sure can be made.

[@gagecrawley6223]

LuckyStriker I highly agree. I also wanna see Judge Death in one of the sequels.

[@TheHamsterMaster]

This movie was so underrated but one of the best action films I've ever seen. This is how Judge Dredd is supposed to be.

[@Hugh_Morris]

I fucking adore this movie

[@danielgreen6302]

i second that emotion.

[@Blowfeld20k]

Yeah Bro .... Its a fucking innovative masterpiece. Underappreciated GENIUS, destined to ascend to the highest levels of cult moviedom. Glad i found this vid i thought i was the only person who gets the movie. So sick of forcing my wrong com loving m8s to watch it and just getting blank stares at the end.

[@stevem2323]

Definitley...

[@hsatin20]

I love any praise I hear about this movie. One of the top ten action movies of all time in my opinion. Right up there with Mad Max series and Predator. And props on the Anthrax quote at the beginning.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+hsatin20 :)

[@hsatin20]

+pewol Honestly, it just seemed to me that this is one of the rare, true blood, action movies to come out in recent memory. Just pure action from start to finish. They didn't hold back on the gore but didn't over do it at the same time and the "Slomo" sequences were amazing. I like an action movie that doesn't need much dialog to get the point across but can still drive the story forward at the same time. I don't know, just appealed to me but I'm a child of the 80's. This movie reminded me of an updated version of an 80's action movie at the end of the day :). Reminded me a lot of Conan the Barbarian, another movie that moves forward, driven primarily by action.

[@satanslittleunicorn6536]

2nd favorite in the future movie-"Dredd" #1 is "A Boy And His Dog"

[@studinthemaking]

Right on.

[@foxb5974]

Anytime I bring up this movie someone says that

[@Geospasmic]

I'm a big fan of this film, and I knew most of the stuff you mentioned in the video, however I was shocked at how much of the environments were cgi. I really didn't notice it. That's the kind of digital trickery I appreciate.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Geospasmic I've seen 300 million dollar movies where the CGI stood out like a sore thumb. This cost a fraction of that and looks way better

[@Geospasmic]

***** This is just another example of how money cannot make up for lack of real artistry. Avatar was a technological achievement, but that was about it. It failed to be really immersive (in my opinion) because I was never once convinced any of it was real. Wheras with Dredd so much of the environment just isn't there, but we believe it is, we never think to question it.

[@alucard624]

***** Avatar was a tech demo more than anything. A special effects demo reel that just happened to crib story ideas from Pocahontas, Ferngully, and Dances With Wolves all in one movie.

[@guitarman0365]

static non moving and especially non living effects are the easiest to create. there is no uncanny valley to cross over into. Once you start on living things or moving things. it gets real hard to make believable.

[@joshuariser8605]

Of all the movies I saw in 2012 -- from big budget Hollywood movies to foreign air-house films -- Dredd was no doubt my favorite. Dredd is everything I wanted out of, say, a Batman movie: instead of setting up this huge situation where a city/world is in peril, just drop the character in a grounded situation and let him/her do what they do best. Not every comic book movie needs to have airships falling from the sky or lasers shooting up into the air. And Dredd proved that. And did so perfectly.

[@joshuariser8605]

Also, Karl Urban fucking rules.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Joshua Campbell You said it.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

GoodBadFlicks Yes he does, he is one of my favorite actors working today.

[@jackryan9183]

Dredd is a terrific film. The relationship between Dredd & Anderson anchors this movie and makes you care about what happens to them. Plus the story, FX, acting, writing and directing are all top notch. Just wonderful.

[@zombiesquad3339]

Beyond brilliant, I can't even think of a single criticism for this film. Karl Urban nailed it.

[@DieyoungDiefast]

+Zombie Squad Lena Heady nailed Ma-Ma. Such a nice, sweet..... psychopath

[@92ladderley]

That voice of her's was so soft and sweet...like poisoned honey

[@prince-solomon]

I can think of one: No remarkable music, no iconic theme.

[@bredfern2773]

I love the attention to detail in tis movie. you can still see the bullet hole and blood in Dredds armor at the end. Most films would have missed that.

[@QuackersAhoy]

When this originally come out, I stayed away thinking it would wander down the same avenue as the Stallone version but word of mouth convinced me to go see it. Wow, it WAS Dredd from the comics, albeit with more realism in the certain departments. Karl Urban was born to play him. This was a tour de force of a movie that had me exhausted by the end, it was so good. I liked the fact that you mentioned the likes of Pirates Of The Caribbean and Big Momma getting sequel after sequel and Dredd getting none. I've signed every petition going to get one made and it would be a travesty of huge proportions if it doesn't go ahead giving that the tripe previously mentioned gets a new sequel spewed out every year!!!

[@CutieusMaximus]

The use of pinks, greens and yellows in the cinematography gave it a killer comic book aesthetic feel...loved this flick. Garland is a badass.

[@lasthavoc]

Dredd felt like an homage to the original Robocop, and I mean that in the best way. It was more of a Robocop reboot than the Robocop reboot. I feel like if they can't do a sequel, they should nail down a Netflix series with Karl Urban. That would be the perfect platform for it.

[@mr.sinjin-smyth]

A TV series is a much better hope for you.

[@70agrr]

If I remember Paul Verhoeven was a big fan of Judge Dredd, which influenced Robocop.

[@pietzsche]

@@70agrr Yeah Dredd was very much the starting point of Robocop, this is one of the original Robocop designs lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KFik3d91-QU/UJ-XoPk03KI/AAAAAAAABeA/W-HNI0c7uNs/s500/5842750530_68364a565f.jpg

[@Dilligff]

A lot of people brought up that 'it felt like a genuine 80's action movie' and the first thing that came to mind for me was Robocop. The grittiness, the gore, the dark humor, all brought back that original Robocop vibe for me. Loved it. As to a sequel? I'd buy that for a dollar!

[@5ynthesizerpatel]

I always felt that the original Robocop movie was a better Dredd movie than the original Dredd movie

[@Jcarroz]

This movie is criminally underrated and brings back the feeling of the visceral, hard hitting 80s action films while taking advantage of modern film make techniques. Carl Urban is outstanding as Dredd and deserves another film as the judge.

[@AitorMolina.]

The most underrated action/superhero (antihero) movie of all time?

[@31FilmTalk]

I wouldn't say anymore. The amount of people saying "have you seen Dredd? its awesome!" these days is huge. We all know its good. No one is saying its bad. We're past the poor box office run

[@benway20]

***** If anything, the film is now in danger of being over-rated/over-hyped.

[@yan008]

[@Fluffykeith]

The thing about Dredd never taking his helmet off in the film is at least part due to Karl Urban. He told Empire that, as a fan of the comics, he specified that he'd only take the role if Dredd kept his helmet on.

[@James_Bee]

Thank you, Judge. I absolutely love this movie and have signed the petition for a sequel a while back. It needs to happen. When I'm unable to decide on something on Netflix, I always click on this. It's been my go-to for a while. Great video, as always.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

James Bee thanks!

[@RobotPanda7]

Love this movie. Honestly when it came out, the trailers didn't stick out to me and I hadn't followed the comic series so it almost flew under my radar. Randomly saw it with a buddy in 3D at the theatre and it blew me away. One of my absolute favorite theatre experiences. It's one of the few movies that uses 3D perfectly. Afterwards I wouldn't shut up about it and dragged my friends and family to see it and they all loved it too. I hope they are able to follow up with another sequel or maybe a Netflix series as long as it's approached with the same passion and gritty artistic direction.

[@RyuFalchionX]

Hopefully we do get a sequel to this great film.

[@psychozulu]

[@stopthemadness99]

I first saw this film with a group of friends at their apartment and enjoyed it immensely. This must have been awesome in a proper movie theater.

[@kurvos]

Dredd has become one of my favorite movies of all time. I've been a part of the "Make a Dredd Sequel" community for more than two years now, and have signed the petition and shared it with others as much as possible, recommending everyone I talk to into this type of movie to go give it a watch and buy it if they love it. If Dredd will only be one movie and not getting a sequel, then so be it. I will in that case have to accept it. But that won't stop me from hoping from the bottom of my heart they'll make it a trilogy, and do everything I can to see it happen. But since the first movie just keeps on gaining more and more fans and supporters, there really is no reason why it wouldn't happen.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

kurvos at this point, its just silly for them to not make a sequel. With all the buzz they would at the very least make their budget back theatrical

[@kurvos]

***** Even then, enough people want to see Dredd 2 for them to get money for it - fans could help sponsoring them if companies are being idiots about it. And plenty of movies that didn't go well in theaters got sequels after companies realized how much it's popularity was growing. And since the actor of Dredd AND the producer of the movie among with probably everyone else working on the Dredd movie knows about it's off-theater success and thinks it's awesome, they will keep trying to think of a way for it to be made.

[@mr.sinjin-smyth]

The sequel is not coming, deal with it. Just better hope for a TV series at best. Movie just bombed badly.

[@PK-MegaLolCaT]

7:55 actually one of the reason that i love this film , is that aside it similarities with the raid , i can watch both films at the same time and not feel tired .. because of how much world building in dredd does make the film feels unique and different from the raid .. even thought at its core they are almost telling the same story

[@Thrano]

Dredd has been everything I ever wanted from an action movie. Easily one of the best I have ever seen. Also, I like John Carter, I think it's cool.

[@dionwoollaston5717]

Ho was the guy playing john carter he looked like a James Franco clone

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thrano I'll probably do a video on John Carter, its a good movie

[@dionwoollaston5717]

Awsome after if you haven got any thing planed could you do a review of the thing

[@alucard624]

John Carter was pretty good, but was a victim of crappy advertising and lack of faith in the project from Disney. Also, the fact that it was based on a fairly obscure literary character (even though it was the same guy who created Tarzan), didn't help either. Still, it's a really good movie that I feel eventually will become a cult hit. Sort of like how Scott Pilgrim bombed at the box office but became a cult hit via DVD and Blu-Ray sales.

[@dionwoollaston5717]

scott pilgrim is bad cos of the actor they got for him

[@jeffe8961]

In my opinion, this is the best comic book adaptation ever and one of the best action movies of all time. Karl Urban is AWESOME!! Who watches Karl Urban as Dredd and then says, "You know who would make a great Batman? Ben Affleck!!" Come On, Hollywood!!! Give the fans the Dredd sequel it deserves!!!

[@madTbonez]

great film. disappointed I didnt go see in in 3d at the theater

[@MrArukimasu]

[@Gizaalkemy]

[@KnjazNazrath]

Was one of the only films I've ever deemed worthy of watching in 3d, and I was glad I did.

[@TheDive99]

I don't want to rub it in but it was AMAZING in 3d. Also the sound just went right through you. I saw it twice, had to.

[@MrNerdyBrit]

Even though I didn't like it being marketed as Dredd 3D as it's normally only really shitty films that do that, the 3D in Dredd was some of the best I've seen.

[@miker6452]

Yes, agree with you completely. When it was released I was too busy to go to the theater but then later viewed it on Movies on Demand. I instantly regretted missing this film on the big screen and envy anyone who did because of so many astonishing scenes. And I as well did like a lot of things in the 95 Dredd but honestly it was primarily a Stallone movie rather than a Dredd film, mostly a color by numbers action flick for general audiences, nothing too deep or serious. Dredd 2012 went in the opposite direction and shows it was a passion project by everyone involved, truly one of those rare gems among so much cinema slop out there. Sadly it didn't take off at the box office (like Alita), but has developed a loyal fan following. Hey, some great stuff doesn't do well and a lot of garbage sells big. And you also showed an image of John Carter, an example of another great film that didn't do big at the box office.

[@CowboyBebop262]

I actually avoided this film in theaters thinking it was probably going to suck, but my friends told me about it later and I ended up loving it. I hope they make a sequel and build on the world they established.

[@Blackhawk19892]

I saw this the night it opened in the UK. One of those films that did everything right. Perfect casting, excellent design, wonderful cinematography, and embraced its lower budget instead of being ashamed of it (I love 'Riddick' for the same reason). It really deserves a sequel, and Karl Urban really deserves a franchise dammit!

[@Ssalamanderr]

The day after I first watched Dredd, I watched it again. I really love this movie. The script is great- it's a tight plot with no bullshit, and avoids cliches in clever and awesome ways. Hopefully we get a sequel at some point.

[@jamesanthony8438]

We really do need more comic book movies where the actual creators have more active parts in the productions.

[@mammamiaculpa]

This is what I look for in a good action film. A prime example in my opinion. Lean and stripped back, just pure action that isn't weighed down and doesn't detract from the action. Imagine if this was Transformers: Age Of Extinction length? I doubt it would be as good

[@TonyBingGaming]

Loved this! The soundtrack was awesome as well and the fact they managed to do it and keep his helmet on the full time was great.

[@Snagprophet]

For me it felt like another proper 80s action movie again, more so than the Expandables, kind of like a spiritual successor to films like Total Recall or maybe Die Hard. I would love a sequel. I think a lot of people know a bit more about it, I missed it for the cinema but saw it at home. Had never read the comics. So I hope a sequel does better. Having seen Game of Thrones since seeing Dredd originally, I now recognise Lena Hedley and she did a great job in both. Pure evil. There's not a lot of female villains and she is a very good one in this.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

***** looks like Dredd 2 isn't happening :(

[@MJRslayer]

GoodBadFlicks Oh why? What have you heard? :( BTW you are the reason I bought this on DVD and spreading the word. Maybe the new Mad Max Movie made the cultural impact classic 80s style movies need.

+Snag Prophet A terribly underrated action film. If I had to find one thing to complain about, it would be a constant reminder than we never see Dreed taking his helmet off, but WE KNOW WHAT K. Urban looks like so whats the point? They might off hired an unknown actor and would save a cople hundret thousand dollars on Urbans pay check. Otherwise, if we take in consideration what kinde of a movie it is, a good movie is a good movie, 9/10. Bravo.

Fast-paced with all killer, no filler in a short running time. It's a perfect little action flick and the movie that made me have to get a 3D TV!

[@RagDollSam]

I was so lucky when I went to go see this movie. Me and a friend decided to go to the movies at like 10pm to the latest showing and Dredd was there and I wanted to see it. My buddy wanted to watch it cause like you said in the video he thought it was going to be a sequel to Sly's version and he didn't see any of the trailers for it so he didn't like it afterwards because of that. (which is really sad) But when we went in we were the only ones in the theater, so we got to put our feet on the seats, and yell, and react to parts in the movie without being yelled at or shushed it was awesome. This is definitely one of my favorite comic book movies I've ever seen.

[@Chris-ci8vs]

A sequel to this should be just like this in the sense that it is like reading a stock standard Dredd comic book story. That was the strength of this film. It never tried to have a story or ending addressing the problem of the world they live in, he merely did his job, day in, day out.

[@juhanator7943]

This movie was amazing...i loved comic books and they did it right here!

[@50jakecs]

Definitely one of the best adaptations of a comic book. They got the gritty, dismal world of Judge Dredd down with the bad-assness of Dredd the character. This is up there with Deadpool in terms of being a quality adaptation.

[@itsthatoneguy5]

My brother in law worked on the film and was in the marketing dept. and was able to get me to the premier when we went to SDCC in 2012. We were in the back area with mostly people who were worked on film. About ten minutes into the movie I get my arm bumped into and I look at the seat next to me and it’s Karl Urban. It was great and it is honestly the last decent comic book movie I’ve seen that was different I truly hope they do something sooner or later or do something that’s not a sequel, remake or reboot to a marvel movie. Dredd was a breath of fresh air and it was a well needed one!

[@beardedmovieguy322]

That was an amazing, thanks so much for all the effort you put into these. Dredd came out in theaters and I was hyped to see it, but opening weekend I was busy, so I figured I would get it the second weekend. Unfortuantly they pulled it at my local theather after only one week! When I finally got to see it I loved it, I think I have watched it around 6 times now, and learning all the stuff you shared just makes me love it more. Awesome movie, Awesome video.

I absolutely loved Dredd!! They don't make movies like this anymore...

Awesome, awesome movie. Perfect lines, perfect character depiction. I love when the psychic girl "reads" Dredd. Beautiful lines when he talks through the comms to all the people in the building, great measured words that define the character. Everything works in this movie.

[@TheLuisberg]

Once I knew that they were Gonna release another Dredd. I knew it was gonna be good. I enjoyed the old one because of Sly. But this is awesome. I would definitely go see a sequel if they ever plan getting to it

[@Awoken_Remmuz]

Still pop in my dvd from time to watch it, such a solid movie.

[@Siderite]

Great video! There is such a huge mismatch between what makes a movie commercially successful and what makes it a good film. John Carter, for example, was a decent film considering the source material. I remember thinking at the time that they could have gone any number of ways away from the book and made another faceless modern reboot, but they didn't and I appreciated that. Filled it with useless special effects, though. Thinking about that, I wonder if box office success is truly a reason for studios to make sequels. I mean, if a studio has confidence in a movie, they promote the hell out of it, they make a lot of money anyway because people go and see it before they have a chance to hear how good it really is, and they can make any number of sequels even if the first film tanks, just because they believe in the concept. If they don't have confidence, you get something like Dredd, that people didn't really hear about until it was off the big screen. Isn't that like a self fulfilling prophecy rather than a cool management decision? It would be interesting to graph the profit margin of films together with the occurrence of them getting a sequel.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Siderite Zackwehdex I really liked John Carter but the studio majorly dropped the ball on the marketing.

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

I'm tired of films that take characters and plot, but forget the major themes of the source material. You can't make a John Carter film where the characters are clothed. The pulp-nude-titulation is central to the material. The books are brutal and visceral, and very misogynistic, total dick-waving. Hollywood keeps taking tame family-friendly scripts, and buying well known material simply for the title and name recognition. I Robot, The Puppet Masters, etc. Luckily Netflix is still in a place where they don't think every film has to be dumbed down and sanitized for the lowest common denominator.

[@Schlachthaus999]

It's a mortal sin how underrated this masterpiece is.

[@Bob_Beaky]

Make a drokkin' sequel, creeps!

[@shadowcelltheory-band-4925]

The trailer killed it for me....which was a shame after I realize how awesome the movie is lol. Fun fact: They're now making a TV show (supposedly still with Karl Urban).

[@trumpet3125]

Dude, I love your movie breakdowns. I hope in the future you do more “main stream “movies

[@cabbyb111]

absolutely incredible action film!

[@matthewjames3637]

This is one of my favorite action movies EVER, and I'm dying for a sequel. Great video as always!

[@JeddtheJedi]

While I didn't like the film as much as many others did, I totally see the appeal. I think to me, this was more a "laying the foundations"-type movie than anything else that was just begging to be built upon with the world further explored in a sequel. Karl Urban is perfect but the "Die Hard in an X" plot didn't quite do it for me...definitely want a sequel!

[@goliathprime]

I really love these videos that focus on the production and development of films. They are informative and very well done. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into them.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

goliathprime Thank you! It makes it worth the time that they are appreciated :)

[@Sabrowsky]

I'm sorry, its not a good but bad film, Dredd is an amazing flick

[@narcissus79]

watch the video bro... he doesn't say it's bad

[@NickMichalak]

Excellent work, Cecil! Nice summation of everything. Creating more exposure for Dredd is always a great thing!

[@DoctorGallow]

Quoting Anthrax to open a video: + 10 xp

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+Bricky Steamboat :)

[@christianmccann7884]

Dredd was awesome .. Even better in cinema in 3D with that beautiful slow mo .. Plz make a sequel !

[@qasperr994]

This movie is amazing.

[@eval_is_evil]

This movie was so good. Seriously it blew my mind and was disappointed there's no sequel planned.

[@Dreez76]

Dredd 3D was FKing awesome.. I would go see a sequel .

[@ufox77]

I don’t usually go for violent action movies but really liked this film. The catch-22 seems to be if a film flies under a studio’s radar it stands a chance of being left alone and turning out good, but will get no marketing support and flop. If it looks like there’s big money to be made, the studio will pour resources into it but won’t be able to resist the temptation to interfere, and it will turn out compromised and bad. If there was enough studio interest to fund a sequel, I wouldn’t hold out too much hope for it keeping the spirit of this one.

[@Lildoc911]

Speaking of reboots can we please get another fucking spawn movie?

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Lildoc911 YES!

[@alucard624]

I agree. And make it dark and R-rated this time around. Something more along the lines of the HBO animated series, which was brilliant and fit the tone of the original comic more than the movie did.

[@omegarugal9283]

Karl Uban is such an underrated actor, he deserves to star more action movies

[@jeremiahkipp]

Thanks for writing about it -- a cult classic that is probably going to get rediscovered 20 years from now. Wish it didn't have to suffer the same fate as John Carpenter's THE THING. It's a great movie, right up there near ROBOCOP and DIE HARD.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Jeremiah Kipp Its got a pretty solid fanbase now, a shame the studio doesn't see that.

[@cvdevol]

Dredd was as close to perfect as any film I've ever seen. I especially liked the total lack of emotional involvement between the lead characters. That was sooooo refreshing. The movie didn't waste any time. I can watch it again and again without fast forwarding through any scenes.

[@santosesquivel8669]

It’s 2019. And still no sequel. We ARE getting The Boys Season 2, though. So Urban’s got that going for him.

[@dsandoval9396]

Fuck that! I'm getting a plan ready to kidnap Karl Urban and filming his scenes anyway, gorilla style. Put him in the shit! I just need some accomplice... I mean, I just need helpers. You in?

[@VETRIS84]

Nice Anthrax reference 10/10

[@GoodBadFlicks]

VETRIS84 Mandatory :)

[@5ynthesizerpatel]

The first Judge Dredd movie was amazing - most people missed the tie in though because it was titled RoboCop

[@stlouisrocker100]

Perfect example of how CGI needs to work. If a film maker uses it they really need to work at it. Always go back to double check it.

[@phibeslives4048]

DREDD's a great movie, I can't watch a clip of it without a big grin stretching over my face. It was the best theatrical surprise of 2012.

[@JDarkley]

Anthrax reference in opening the vid? Here, have a like and subscribe.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thank you!

[@rexfellis]

I paused the video to come post that. Of course, I'm already subbed. Having a blast watching your older videos man. You do a lot of research.

[@bromodragone8405]

GoodBadFlicks Can you review the Power Rangers movies?

[@ZarathustrasCrown]

lol he has a bit in the Mortal Kombat review I think a lot of people missed where Shao Khan comes at the end and says "bow to me" and very quickly a text pops up with "faithfully" at the bottom...got my like, not many people would think of a Morbid Angel reference in an internet review show these days, would go over almost everyone's head...

[@TheRiehlThing42]

Loved that! And the end, DROK IT! Just saw them again last month in April in Portland. And to reference your Dante's Peak video about living by dormant volcano, love living by these mountains!

[@SPARTANTROOPER]

There is now work for a Dredd series called Mega City One and Karl Urban has said how much he wants to be in it, but will just be happy to have more Dredd adaptations even if he isn't involved. No idea who is actually running the show at this point in time though, so I'm going to hold off on any excitement.

[@melikeskalico3812]

Mega City One looks A LOT like Mexico D.F. :)

[@Ikusabe]

The Lawgiver. One of the most awesome and memorable sci-fi tech.
