Which otherwise would never happen as a result of taking a film class, right?

U.S.A != Nazi Germany

You're giving the U.S too much credit

This is the most diverse country on earth, white people are a minority are you kidding? We need a nazi party over here....only joking

The nazis still have South America!! Ftw.

I can guarantee nobody likes hanging out with you. That's why you have to hang out with fatties.

Seen the movie yesterday it was badass. I liked it more that the original with. Awesome how Dredd never took off his helmet.

Karl Urban is cool i wanted to see his face atleast once since he's badass.

Hanging with fatties is cool. On many levels!

GOOD FLICK. I liked when Dredd told that homeless guy to fuck off and then he got squashed cause he wouldn't fuck off.

If fatties are cool, why do they sweat so much?

Jesus christ you're an idiot.

And you are an ugly, pathetic little dweeb who's never had an original thought in your whole life. What exactly is your point?

That you're an idiot. Wasn't that obvious?

Nah. It looked more like you were calling Jesus an idiot, really.

Oh, Stephen. You're back to posting that picture, again? Yawn.

What the hell is your problem, like really? Have I ever done anything to you, unprovoked? Since day one you've been coming with these lame ass wannabe insults, and I'm just wondering why? I don't really mind it, better man than you have tried and failed. I'm just a bit perplexed. Did I say something mean to you and now you're exacting your 'revenge'? Anyways, I wish you a very nice weekend. Be sure to rest up for next week I totally haven't got something planned for you

lol

So this is what happens when two power bottoms fight for the good pillow.

"lol", indeed.

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J This film is an unashamedly adolescent science fiction action romp, but in recent years we've grown accustomed to that meaning dumbed-down, contrived Michael Bay shit. Dredd is a throwback to the '80s - it is pure pulp material, but executed with a level of uncompromising artistic intensity. Combine the wanton carnage of Robocop with the stunning production design of Bladerunner and you have an idea of what this film feels like. You might not enjoy the subject matter, but it would be extremely ignorant to deny that this is a superbly well made film on just about every level.

This. This. This.

Out of all the recent sci-fi action flicks I've seen (Prometheus & Looper, mainly) I enjoyed Dredd waaaay more. The story is dirt-simple, but it's executed so well. There is literally not a dull moment in the movie. It's fast, it's beautiful, it's fun, and it does all this without trying to come off as something more than it is.

Excellent movie, excellent music. Brutality!

+1 I was definitely reminded of some 80s flicks like Escape from LA/NY, especially some of the indoor shots. They did a really good job of establishing the outside world a la Blade Runner as well.

Finally saw it. It truly is fucking awesome.

I loved how deliberate it was - on many levels it is a "slow" movie.

1. the most obvious are the slow-motion scenes motivated by effects of the drug, which are just gorgeous

2. the plot is very simple and the film slowly gives us bits of new information

3. the average shot length is noticeably higher than what's a current norm for action movies like this - I don't have the exact number (will measure it during my next viewing), but no way it is around 2 or 3 ASL like most action films today. I'd say this is also because of the 3D which pushes filmmakers to make more clearly arranged scenes.

4. also the characters mostly move quite slowly, especially Dredd. With the exception of the opening motorcycle-car chase there is no such a fast paced action sequence later on (some of them are even in slow motion). The final showdown could be seen as almost anti-climatic.

5. the soundtrack's bpm is low most of the time, despite it being quite energetic electronic music.

Like the latest Universal Soldier, this is almost an arthouse B-movie; apart from the clever and beautiful use of slow-mo, Dredd also relies on subjective dream-like visions in terms of its plot and is quite atypical by having two main protagonists. Such a badass and in a way subversive film.

I caught this a couple days ago for the first time as well.
I also rejoiced at the dearth of frenetically-paced action scenes. I was initially turned off by the obvious similarities to The Raid, but this was something else entirely. I thought the gore was all very well done - sometimes they didn't leave a whole lot to the imagination, but it was worked into the scenes in a way that made me more tense than squeamish (and I'm usually the 'that's fucking gross...' type).
