Dredd

The best thing about watching Dredd today was the coffee I got from the bagel shop.

Why can't anyone do any justice to Judge Dredd? (see what I just did?) This flick was not faithful to the comics. The Lawgiver, Lawmaster and even the Judge's uniforms weren't true to spec. Sure, they were reminiscent of the real deal, but even in Stallone's abortion of a movie they had more authentic looking costume etc.

I can't really say anything good about this movie at all. The music was uninspired. The plot didn't really bring in any characters you wanted to see other than Judge Anderson. And even then, Anderson should have been hotter and a bit stronger as a person. The acting wasn't anything to write home about. MegaCity One didn't feel as futuristic as it should have. It just looked like a third world slum. Where were the mutants and bizarre fashion? No fatties? No nods to other 2000AD characters or fanboy shit? It was shallow.

The visual treatment they created for the "slow-mo" drug was kinda cool, and there was violence aplenty. That's about it.

I started watching the DVD extras and so far THAT'S way better than the film.

So there you have it. I love Judge Dredd, but this movie isn't worth your time. I'd like to suggest a new law: if your name isn't Robert Rodriguez and you're not collaborating with the content creators then you're not allowed to do a comic book movie. The end.
