Knowing squat about the comic, I enjoyed the first Dredd. And I’ve always liked Karl Urban; big plus to the fact that he played in the newish Star Trek movie and I DIDNT RECOGNIZE HIM, even though I _loved_ the Bones interpretation. So…I’m looking forward to this. To me it doesn’t even look like the same movie as the first one, and I expect a completely different experience. ---

I’m another person who saw the trailer and said “didn’t I just see this in The Raid?” That said hardly anybody saw The Raid so that probably doesn’t much matter and runnin tha gauntlet is hardly an original idea. But the cut of the trailer does make it look very similar in setup. ---

[100% so far on Rotten Tomatoes](http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dredd_3d/): sounds like the low-key gritty feel is working in its favour. ---

Been kinda in the mood for some eye-candy lately, might go to the midnight screening tonight (not as an uber-fan, just that midnight screenings fit well into my unconventional personal schedule). Never saw the Stallone version, never read the comic. I do however like Karl Urban- I haven’t seen much of his work, but his performance in _Lord of the Rings_ made me want to see more of his character and he was easily my favorite part of the _Star Trek_ remake (which I even liked overall, didn’t _love_ but liked well enough). Just thought I’d check in here with fans of the Stallone version / fans of the comic / fans of the genre to see who’s into it. To see what interest there is. ---

I saw Dredd on Tuesday, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has all the mix of action, drama, humour, character moments I was hoping it would, and even a few surprises. One very pleasant surprise was how well it uses the 3D, which is usually more of an irritant to me, but actually serves a purpose here, rather than just being a gimmick. Some of the scenes are quite stunning, visually. Yes, it’s clearly been made on a low budget for an action movie of this sort, but by choosing to tell a smaller story in restricted setting, the creative team have been able to use their money to the best effect. What’s especially pleasing to me, as someone who read 2000AD from Prog 1, is that everyone involved clearly _gets_ the character of Judge Dredd and the setting of Megacity One. I’m a fan of superhero and comic book movies in general, but I can’t think of the last film adaptation I saw that was so close in feel to its source material. It is very violent, though, so if blood and body parts aren’t entirely your thing, this may not be the movie for you. In the end, I left the cinema very much wanting to see more of this Judge Dredd. ---

Hell, if JUdge Dredd co-creator [John Wagner](http://www.empireonline.com/interviews/interview.asp?IID=1530)thinks its a good adaptation that’s good enough for me. > [@](#): > > Judge Dredd creator John Wagner had been critical of the 1995 adaptation, but positively received Dredd. He said: “I liked the movie. It was, unlike the first film, a true representation of Judge Dredd… Karl Urban was a fine Dredd and I’d be more than happy to see him in the follow-up. Olivia Thirlby excelled as Anderson… The character and storyline are pure Dredd.” ---
