A bit I like about this movie is how Ma Ma and her crew have no idea who Dredd is. He's just a Judge to them, a rando. Because they wouldn't know. They run a small corner of an incomprehensible urban sprawl in a dystopian future. But the other Judges know. I enjoy that he's not some cheesy celebrity amongst this mass of decaying flesh and concrete. Only the other Judges are aware this dude is the Grim fucking Reaper. Ma Ma made an honest mistake. This movie real good.

[@jasonrustmann9876]

Karl Urban did a fantastic job as well, i believe there was an interview where he said he read a bunch of the comics to understand tge character, and one feature he noticed was Dredd never takes his helmet off, so, and i believe it was actually this scene, he was supposed to take his helmet off, but ge refused because it's not what the character would do, and actually got into an argument with the director over it, studios pay for the face, but he wanted to do the character right, and sense they were already behind schedule they just gave up and let him have his way, i learned this a good while ago and heard it all second hand so take it with a grain of salt, but i think there's at least a little truth in to it =P Real shame it didn't do better at the box office.

[@sgtpepper0spray]

Canonically he's actually very famous, because he's saved Mega-City One multiple times, has a high public profile, and is used as a propaganda figure by the Justice Department. He's still a street judge though and responds to anything and everything like any other Judge, so when he pulls up to a crime scene, the perp's reactions go from "Oh damn, a judge" to "Oh holy Grudd, it's friggen Judge Dredd"

This was a character driven film, rather than actor driven, and I have infinite respect for Karl Urban for this role, as he's not really going to get much attention for it (ie: having only his mouth exposed, doesn't make for great exposure in an actors profile when advertising themselves for future roles). People like Stallone couldn't help but need their faces shown, but not good ol Karl. He was willing to work to incorporate himself into the role, not the other way around. It's commendable, and he's what you can call a true actor, someone focused on the role, rather than personal accolades

[@TwistyMcFisty]

Karl Urban was apparently a fan of the comics, and stated that he would not have taken the role if he had to remove his helmet. it was important to him that he stay true to the character.

[@InVinoVeratas]

@@TwistyMcFisty If only more actors were as willing to integrate, as fluently in a role, and as needed, to make the movie's theming more consistent. That certainly can't be said of Stallone, in the previous Judge Dredd role. This version feels more hopeless and nihilistic, which to me, fits the theming of an apocalyptic future, one in which we're unsure of even who the heroes are, as the rookie discovers at the end, she's left questioning if the judges are even the "good guys" when in the end, there is just morally grey decisions. Did Dredd do a justice throwing that drug-dealing, ex-prostitute who was previously a victim herself? Was she a bad person given the context of her praising? The environment she grew up in, made her into the person we see in the film, so it stands to reason, so, to some degree, she herself was a product of her environment. Though not all decisions were out of her hands, and she did choose to deal drugs, so there is moral ambiguity/dilemma there.

[@fishmanfairclough7530]

@@InVinoVeratas I doubt if that is the fault of Stallone if a studio pays for a large star they want them to have exposure and that probably means them not having their face covered the whole movie. The original one is one of my guilty pleasures but the flying law cycle was ridiculous and I wanted either to touch on the fact that people walked through mega city one and prayed that muggers didn't pick them and were relived when someone else was mugged instead of them, the second one is the only one that got even close to that feeling. In the first James Remar should have being the antagonist and it should have focussed on a block war kind of story.

[@InVinoVeratas]

@@fishmanfairclough7530 Fair enough, it probably was a contractual obligation to show his face. Still, I don't think Stallone would've done it, if his face wasn't shown. I really liked the first one as well, I think it's awesome, and definitely one of my favorite actions films as a kid. It's been a while since I have last seen it to be fair, so I may be giving Stallone a harder critic than he deserves. And if I'm being honest My favorite line by him is spoken in Judgd Dredd that being _"I aM the LAW!"_

I loved this movie. Especially for keeping the helmet on. Plus, the various fun effects.

[@cameron818]

"Two Way Split", epic line

[@mubhceeb]

Love this film with a passion!!! 🔥😎🤘

[@tonybaggett1984]

This is the greatest action movie made in the last 20 years, period.

[@808ERIC808ERIC]

Even when they fall to the ground look super painful

[@frankbarron1907]

Best comic book adaptation ever.

[@tarael86]

This and Fury Road are the best action movies of the 2010s.

[@nirekin2760]

Maybe ever

[@meris8486]

They're both so good in there own ways. Along with those are: Mission Impossible Fallout, John Wick, The Raid 1 & 2, Upgrade, Edge Of Tomorrow, Skyfall and probably more I'm forgetting

[@danielvolosin6614]

The last bad judge played the part perfectly, sounded just like dredd

[@markdawson4292]

Such an outstanding film waaaaaay underrated and underappreciated . don't see films like this very often....SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A SEQUEL

[@giacomoromano8842]

I mean... imagine if you had a wounded John Wick in front of you, you are holding a gun and he said "wait". I would be shocked too.

[@TheWPhilosopher]

No I'd be pumping the trigger. That guy asking me to wait? I'm just waiting for death. A fookin pencil who knows what that dude can do. Well actually I'd hope not to be on the wrong side of Wick to be honest.

[@ianw5663]

Is this the most underrated action movie of all time? Underrated in the sense that it's not universally known. Literally everyone who took the time to watch this immediately loved it.

[@giontesla2311]

This is the most badass scene ever badassed in a badass movie.

[@jonathanguzman3044]

This film was absolutely perfect

[@Mr.Doodlebob]

never noticed when dredd says two way split the lawmaker registers it as a command to switch to splitshot and tells him it's out

[@casualblickfan]

The music just adds to the hardcore futuristic feel that makes this movie so unique

[@Kinos141]

Love how the rookie just killed a Judge in cold blood (lowered gun and all), and just kept moving. Also, loved how the life left the bad Judge's body. That was harrowing.

[@Balletcalvero]

If this wasn't marketed as a kitschy 3d flick, Dredd would have been huge. Loved everything about this movie.

[@optimisticnihilist3417]

This was such a good film

[@DenerWitt]

everybody in the production of this movie did a great job. The directing was so on point

[@slobiden.2593]

The only time Dredd was in danger was when he ran out of ammo.

[@centralscrutinizer6108]

This movie was ultimate bad assery. Karl Urban was perfect for this part.

[@heywhat7816]

When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk-Tuco

[@tarynwatson8971]

One of the best Sci Fi films of the last few decades. We ALL MUST demand a sequel....

[@boss12]

He could just as soon be Batman with that voice.

[@craigunshallach4951]

Just such a great movie. He was, no, he IS the dreddiest Dredds of all.

[@uncleesmentalhealthnetwork6339]

I need to go get this movie.

[@natkingcol909]

I'll never get bored of this movie.

[@OpenBiolabsGuy]

Man, if they make another Dredd, I’d like to see him go up against the mutants from the comics.

[@swolldobby3940]

I cant believe this didnt get a sequel.

[@phoenixblack1220]

Was there ever any consideration for a sequel? This movie was flat out awesome.

[@mattsmith3750]

I heard Netflix were in talks to make a sequel but there's been no news for a while.

[@Hunt8rJob]

There was a TV series due, Judge Dredd: Mega City One. But that was 4 years ago so I doubt it'll turn into anything.

[@TheJimmcv]

Urban was up for it - no money though. Epically good film.

[@PopCultureCat]

Lifelong fan of the comic here! I LOVED this adaptation. They got the sheer grittiness of the character and the Dredd Universe right and this lifted Karl Urban to one of my most respected actors, along with Henry Cavil. “Perps were … uncooperative” is such an absolute nugget of a Dredd quote.

[@RandomAmerican3000]

I saw a clip of this before I saw the movie. I originally thought he was asking for another ammo type when he said "two way split". And though it will likely fall on deaf ears, I too will say we need a sequel to this. Assuming they do as good of a job the second time.

[@star-army]

@KoPHuLLloH "Double whammy!"

[@someguy7564]

I always thought this, it was only on a repeat viewing that it made sense to me. Two way split would have been a cool round though

[@chartypeplays2396]

Dredd is such a smooth badass in this scene. He lets the other guy talk and waste time but he himself says only what he needs to buy time, not even crying out when he gets shot, which would give away his position. He only reveals his plan after the other guy is already dead.

[@smirkingdevil]

I just realized the rookie was probably mentally telling Dredd she was on her way.

[@thebighurt2495]

Man, that body armor really is worth it's weight. Also, it's amazing how much work these actors are getting out of a chin, nose and mouth.

[@DarkhorseSJ]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, Dredd was a fucking great movie. Absolutely criminal that Marvel shit is getting endless movies and this can't get a solid sequel. Karl Urban best Dredd.

CRIMINALLY underrated.

[@robbbyyy25]

Its even crazy that both Judge Dredd and Dredd are massive successes in my book, im glad that they have diffeent tones and ways of narrating the same character, too bad neither had much box office success. smh

[@cristianmatyus6682]

I always thought Lex' reaction to Dredd saying "wait" was the funniest shit in the world.

[@Ephisus]

This film was better than it had any right to be.

[@ChronicDreamer1st]

This is how you make a proper R-Rated comic book movie.

[@quakegott]

we have the fucking right for a sequel!

[@uncleterb7128]

Man this scene... like a nostalgic nod to the immortal westerns of old... 'wait for her to shoot you' I saw this as a brilliant mash of clint Eastwood and Karl urban.. bravo 👏🏼 👏🏼

[@gatorscoops3861]

kurt Russel would have killed as one of these characters

[@Shiirow]

Kurt Russel as Judge Death.
