He could've killed the perp at any time during that hostage scene, as the creep never had his finger on the trigger.
I will never get over that  :'(

Watched Dredd with my Mum (73) last sunday, and she loved it.
She particularly liked seeing the bad guys/bent judge getting beaten up by Dredd, and thought Ma-Ma was a suitably nasty villain who got a suitably nasty ending.

When it started she said "Is he that comic you've been reading for years?"

My Mums awesome!

After watching Dredd my mum said she preferred the 'Stallone' version. I haven't put her out to pasture yet even with comments this insane!

Dredd on 8th of 30 best 3D films again.

http://www.gamesradar.com/best-3d-movies/2/

The film: 2000 AD's best-loved son had already been the subject of one film the dreadful 1995 Sylvester Stallone vehicle which took the name and the uniform but not much else. Dredd 3D, by contrast, was largely faithful and that meant violence. Lots and lots of violence.

3D enhancement: Where Avatar aimed for expansiveness, Dredd is claustrophobic, so the 3D effect was used mainly to illustrate the psychotropic effects of the Slo-Mo drug used by future criminals. Time becomes sluggish, colours swirl around and inevitably blood is shed. It leads to some curiously beautiful moments of carnage.

Most eye-popping scene: Dredd and Anderson bust into an apartment and shoot up a gang of Slo-Mo users. As Dredd shoots one bad guy in the face, his blood seems to splash out of the cinema screen.

I still love the homage to Matt Berry in this film

Well deserved!

A really imaginative use of 3D whether one appreciates the format or not.

Another Blu-Ray from another firm, no news on disc content - but I'm guessing it will just be the same discs repackaged.

About time. I've been following this on instagram.

Great to see it finally coming out after it was announced over a year ago!

Looking good!

Name?  Joe versus Joseph
Uniform?  Don't remember seeing any gold codpieces in the real comic (with apologies to those artists who worked on Lawman of the Future).

I don't know, I kinda feel like we dodged a bullet there. Fox dosen't exactly have the best track record for comic films. Besides I hate to say it, but I kinda agree with Fox's opinion at the time. I think we needed that first movie to really establish this universe before going all paranormal 'X-files/Hellraiser' on the audience.

I hope we get Judge Death in live action some day. I have a feeling the closest thing we'll get to that will be a fan film though.

watched Dredd on Spanish TV at the weekend in Mallorca. The voices were all a bit samey, Dredd and the male characters all had that generic tough-guy growl, but luckily I pretty much know everything they're saying by now so the language barrier wasn't a problem!
