well there you go. PG 13 for a world that is consumed by drugs and violence is kinda hard to narrate.
They should of mated it R. That would of made it better. Way better. |
It is an R. 18 in the UK. I wasn't very clear, but I meant that it's now standard for action films to strip the blood, sex and profanity down to get a more profitable PG-13 rating, whereas Dredd didn't. So compared to the market, it's pretty all-out. Again, no idea what you think it's "holding back on".
And thanks for that detailed clarification of your thoughts on the production style. "Just normal". I sincerely hope you put more thought into films when you come to score them. |

Just wanted to share this since I mentioned it before.
Dredd's editing isn't as slow as I thought. The average shot length is 3.7 seconds, which can still be considered conventional when compared to mainstream comic book adaptations (Iron Man - 3.7, Thor - 3.2, The Dark Knight - 3.1, Superman Returns - 3.1).
The action just feels slow. Characters hardly run and there aren't any real chases. At times there is a general sense of busyness, but not of movement. Most of the dialogue is also edited relatively fast with plenty of reaction shots. The pace of the film is quite steady. |

| There are a few heavily stylised "MTV" segments - the rapid montage for the rise or Ma-Ma and the psionic duel between Anderson and Kay, not to mention the CCTV views that act almost as establishing shots - but the bulk of the action (from memory) is staged and edited in a pretty no-nonsense, retro style. |

It isn't a remake of Judge Dredd anymore than Batman Begins was a remake of Tim Burton's film. It's a separate adaptation of the comic. However, WittyHandle illustrates a basic problem with the Judge Dredd intellectual property: it isn't actually very well known, and so doesn't have the ready-made fanbase of more famous comics/graphic novels/sequential art/pretentious picture wank, thus harming its box office chances. |
There was a twitter by Tim Burton saying: I despise comics.
Then one guy replied: This is why your Batman sucked.
Some serious changes that's been made in previous heroes that's been positive: Batman and James Bond. |
