Just been to see Dredd, a bit of context I am a hardcore fan who has been reading 2000AD for thirty years so I will be both easily impressed (because its Dredd) and easily offended (if they **** it up in anyway).
fantastic, loved it all, amazing 3D (and I hate 3D), super violent, full on action.
Pros-Wow they really get Dredd right, I was VERY sceptical after seeing stills and short trailers about the 'look' but after a few minutes it becomes total Dredd, Karl Urban is superb and the way it is shot gives it exactly the right feel, 3D very well used.
It is really made for the fans and I didnt see any pandering to a mainstream audience which I was dreading. Im sick of people ruining potentially good shit because most of the audience will eb too stupid to get it, **** them and do it properly.
Cons-I know they did not have as big a budget as they wanted so mega city 1 feels a bit low tech, but I think its set in early Mega city one history before it gets too built up. Also most of it is set inside a building which helps avoid the issue somewhat.
Loved it and will see it again at the cinema
