Judge Dredd Review

Admit it. If I didn't review this one during THE SUMMER OF SYLVESTER STALLONE you'd all track me down and judge me. The same year Assassins came out, we got another much more infamous Stallone flick.. that being this one, Judge Dredd. It was based on a comic, but.. well.. what happens when Hollywood gets their hands on any established intellectual property? Make the same movie they've made 5000 times before, but with the skin of the new IP. Does it matter that it breaks just about every character? I'll be the judge of that.

Karl Urban's Dredd is legitimately excellent. I hope you've seen it by now!

[@Fenris77]

Yup I have. Urban is even a fan of the character and did Dredd full justice.

[@sudafedup]

It was an okay film, I thought it was slow and kinda boring. BUT, he did Dredd well, and did his character justice.

if you haven't checked it his video yet or wanna go from this one to it here's a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4avhmWCo7KoatE

Lmao what that movie is hated what planet are y'all on🤣

[@han3wmanwukong125]

Coming here out of nowhere to see this comment really brightened up my day.

[@mylifeisacomplexpastiche7901]

"Anakin Skywalker was harder to convince than this!" Yes. He was much harder to convince. *Two movies harder, in fact.*

[@jasonscarborough94]

To be fair, when Dredd says the rounds have an effective lethal range of 200 meters, he might mean against the judge uniforms/armor. but of course no one said that on screen.

[@MrV1r00zz]

Ya exactly what i was thinking

[@thisithis]

There is also Basic physics like when you shooting straight down the bullets tend to have a longer range, you know that thing called gravity.

[@marley7868]

@@thisithis he could have calculated that in too?

[@tbone9474]

Also Dredd always knew he had a twin. It was never a secret

[@pjomayo]

That big robot was the ABC Warrior ,a character not from the Judge Dredd comic strip but it was in 2000 AD comic.

[@anubusx]

It looks awesome.

[@demonkingbadger6689]

Poor robot, he was too cool to get taken out by rob Schneider. Although, just about everything is too cool to be taken out by schneider.

Man was Diane Lane hot back then, still is now.

[@NerfZombieHunter]

Balls in his eye holes, that whole phrase was one of my favorite quotes in Tenacious D the pick of destiny

[@xheralt]

Stallone's turn as John Spartan in _Demolition Man_ was in many ways a more valid interpretation of Dredd than his actual portrayal of Dredd. They just inverted the nature of the dystopia Spartan inhabited. And IMO the Fifth Element had a better mega-city than either Dredd movie.

[@insrtcowjoke]

That intro is spot on for this. I had no clue who Judge Dredd was either, until I saw this. And even though I was a kid, I was really excited to see this movie for some reason. I don't remember the ads for it, but whatever they were they definitely worked on me. _Edit:_ Always amused me, the idea of making suicide a crime. What're you gonna do if someone breaks that law? Arrest their corpse?

[@chaossmith3864]

You know, I used to think that and realized how horrific it actually is. Fail and get caught? Welp you just attempted to commit a felony. Get revived? Welp you just committed a felony. So basically they could technically arrest you while you're already not exactly the most thrilled about living.

[@Nico42048]

Probably Isocubes and skyhigh debt for your relatives. Y'know, as an incentive to not do it

[@Nico42048]

Oh, wait. You didn't mean the movie. I'd have to say the same as the guy above me then

[@kylobluray2302]

"I didn't break the law...I AM THE LAW ! "

[@brb-blitz4592]

I learned that Joe Pesci could have played Rob Schneider's role, but he turned it down.

[@darthroden]

Dude, I can't believe you left out the "Cursed earth pizza" line! That was (sadly) the best line in the film.

[@SnowHermit89]

That little trip up at the beginning of the video was gold. I wonder if it was planned or if Decker winged it. Either way, great review!

[@__RD14533]

You *really* need to see Dredd it was fucking awesome!

[@tmriddle]

These should be called film summaries or speed run commentaries because the only time an actually review comes into play is in the last minute of it.

when decker started going crazy about putting his eyes where his balls are made me spit ice cream on my laptop im dead LMAO

[@liamearly4883]

Hey Decker have you ever thought of reviewing The Universal Soldier films? The ones with JCVD

[@gabrielmazuca8256]

Im really enjoying your reviews Decker, really awesome work,great job! :)

[@VeganJustToAnnoyYou]

11:14 I recognize that hand gesture from somewhere...

[@DUARTE99]

I remember watching this movie in theaters in the summer of 1995 after watching Batman Forever. Later I watched WaterWorld. Dear God, that was the worst summer ever. And I haven’t got rid of this eye twitch since.

[@Brainhorn]

Rock-paper-scissors? No. Roshambo? Nah. Janken? The one literally nobody has ever heard of? That's the one.

The full expression is also: "Ja~Ken; Pon!" ;-) .

[@Cenzurat]

@@jimtaylor294 but it still means rock paper scissors.

[@ZigealFaust]

@@Cenzurat No, it means "See (relating to poking eyes ala scissors), Fist (relating to a closed fist ala rock) and Slap (referring to flat hand ala paper). It means the same game yes, but def not the same words.

[@alexandriasanders9499]

Chia Pets of JUSTICE! I like it

[@GriffinPilgrim]

I'd recommend giving Dredd a watch but judging from the comment section half the internet just did that for me... A great review and all the more so for being a different flavour to the Nostalgia Critic one (hey, you brought him up). I'd find it odd that anyone would have an issue with you reviewing it too, especially since A: You beat him to Demolition Man and Tim Burton's Planet Of The Apes and B: Mr Walker himself has said that he sees no reason why two people can't review the same film, so long as they're not copying each other. Which you didn't.

[@DeckerShado]

GriffinPilgrim Yep.. it looks like that's one more movie I'm going to have to pick up a lot sooner than I had originally intended! ;)

[@BigBrother169]

+Decker Shado I am looking forward to that review. Karl Urban's portrayal of Judge Dredd was much better than Stallone's in my opinion.

[@DashingPunkSamurai]

@@BigBrother169 I’m curious if there is anyone in the entire world who doesn’t share the same opinion that Urban was better.

Good review and I liked how different it was from the Nostalgia Critic's one (plus he did that 'Law!!!' joke too many times, making it not funny). Plus I cannot believe I missed the point of Rico swapping the DNA samples even though they are the same. :) You should review Dredd 3D now, it is a far superior film.

[@BigBWolf90]

Not to mention the fucktard cracking a joke about about the facial damage done to Stallone as an infant with a crass "all that advanced cloning technology and they still couldn't fix Stallone's jaw."

[@FischerFilmStudio]

Oh my god Decker! You have to see Dredd! You'll love that badass action fest!

Joan Chen? Oh hi there Josie Packard.

I have been binging the fu** outta ur channel decker shado!! The internet personality with the best hair!!! Btw decker, try nexus brand shampoo. 😎

[@shitmandood]

Just another note: Block War at the start of the movie IS caused by boredom as most people in the megacities have nothing to do, so they start building rivals with other buildings and then attack each other. I think they made a board game about it but it was common in the early comic series...block wars were routine.

[@davidkennedy1077]

Although I'm (incredibly) late to the party I just thought I'd admit that I really enjoyed Judge Dredd. I had read a several of the comics (2000AD) when I was a kid, so was already a big fan of Judge Dredd, and thought the film was a fun, action packed story. The film got panned bigtime on release, but theres plenty of films the critics have praised that on watching have been boring crap. A massively underrated film due to bad publicity, but definitely worth a watch and in a different league to constant terrible Transformers or constant mind numbing Marvel movies!!!

[@Hunne2303]

I´ve seen a lot of reviews by Decker, but this one is one of the best if not THE best.

[@Newvibe85]

love the reviews man !! very funny and entertaining not like bruno entertaining, like rocky 1 entertaining ,what im trying to say is the reviews are fukken awsome !!!!

[@dancumbe]

Enjoyed that Joan Chen was given a really efficient push up bra.

[@marktoms5371]

Glad to see im not the only one to of noticed that:-P

[@shitmandood]

Man I knew who he was in 1984! This one kid at middle school had an older brother studying in college and he was reading 2000AD and the Judge Death series at the time! I was blown away and spent a lot of time seeking out the graphic novels and such that would make it to America. In the 00s, I had a sub to 2000AD but due to space concerns I had to quit. I just subscribe online these days for the digital version

[@khyrodon]

I'm in the minority here in that I'm a huge fan of the comics but I also enjoy this movie. It's not good, but I enjoy it. Then again I haven't seen it since Dredd came out so I don't think I can watch it the same way again after that masterpiece.

[@tullyDT]

this movie perfectly captured the cheesey pop culture of the comics but was unfortunately lacking when it came to the grittiness

[@JudgeENZA]

It's still fun to watch

[@kylemendoza8860]

I get you. A movie is made for a film audience. There has to be some changes. like Dread takes his helmet off and walks around like a normal human. But I can understand butchery of plots and characters.

[@Briaaanz]

The original Robocop is the best Dredd movie.

I think it looks like that gun to

***** About twice the size but yeah.

[@adamstringer7092]

The 10mm pistol's design is based on the Lawgiver.

[@boyssouls5689]

Thankfully these guns are actually accurate when compared to the shite models in that abominable game.

[@awesomeshot]

Great show. I always thought of this as more of an accidental comedy flick than an action film. Still it is ok to watch if it happens to come on tv.

[@cgraham6]

Damn, that false start was hilarious!

[@robogreek3157]

i cant stop rewatching @ 2:40 LMAOOOO THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING IV SEEN FROM ANY KZbin REVIEWER. LMAO Im sorry, it just keeps cracking me up LOL

[@bronykingamethystrain5676]

"There's an Iso-Cube with your name on it, Schneider". of all the quotes that are in this movie, did they mention the Cubes? That alone would be a crime. But I digress. this review is good.

[@daverobson3084]

In the opening, the Judges are sent into the gang battle in order to end it and rescue any innocent civilians caught in the middle of said battle. Then they steadfastly refuse to believe that Snyder's character could possibly be an innocent civilian caught on the middle of the battle. Even though he just got out of prison shortly before the battle and ( apparently) has no gang affiliations on record.

[@B-Dad]

Rob: I bring you luck! Dredd: LUCK? Woman: Well, you are still alive Dredd! Dredd: *grumble grumble*

"Mr. 'I am the laaaoowww'!" Was hilarious. I must give this point to Robert.

[@187mrsmith]

I feel stupid I always thought the demolition man novie was judge dredd i never realized they was 2 different movies smh lol I think its because Rob Schneider is in both 9f them for some reason I Thought Sandra Bullock was in judge dred to but it was some other brunette

Metrócity 1! Where's Megamind?!?

[@nickpapadakis557]

What's going on with that copyright issue ?????? To Decker Shado

[@DeckerShado]

Nick Papadakis Well, the claim on First Blood is in dispute and "waiting a response by August 12th." At which point it will either be lifted, or they'll double down and I'll have to appeal the rejected dispute. That will have a month of sit on it time to see if they accept, or they might hit my channel with a strike. Then it's the 2 week waiting period while I tell them "Fine, sue me." where they either fully release their claims on the video, or sue me.

[@kizunadragon9]

The only redeeming scene in this movie is when Chief Justice Fargo lay dying he looks up and notices The statue of Justice and says "It's her, the blind lady. We never should have taken Justice out of her hands"

[@MrRjhyt]

The original template for Judge Dredd was Clint Eastwood, his man with no name. His own block was 'Rowdy Yates', a role eastwood played in Rawhide...
