Just kidding. I'll probably see it even if it's terrible. Hell, especially if it's terrible, because even terrible action and horror movies are fun. Unless they're Dungeon Siege.
One good thing is that I believe John Wagner has come out and said "It's alright" and "true to the source material". While that might not sound like a ringing endorsement, the guy has a reputation for speaking his mind. I believe he said something along the lines of "what a pile of crap" when the Stallone vehicle was released, which didn't go down to well with the studio people
It must be a generational thing. When I was 16 this might have been promising. I did see the Stallone one.
Now, movies like this seem like a waste of valuable movie/series time. It just doesn't look good. Doesn't look well acted. Doesn't look like it has a good plot or writing.
But for you who see it, I hope its fun. Everyone needs popcorn movies and I've sure seen my share of them.

Long time Dredd fan here and while it seems they have lost allot of the MC1 character (cartoonyness?) that I thought the Stallone film conveyed well, they seem to have Dredd down well.
I'm not sue why a manta prowl tank wasn't bringing justice to a block full of Spugs but I'm sure there is a good reason.
When does this hit cinemas?

It's hard to believe we're looking at the same trailer. There's a lot to be said for different eyes, I guess. When I look at this trailer, I see a very elemental story about law and chaos.

I'm really surprised by the negative reaction this film is getting, here and elsewhere. I had no idea a Dredd movie would be up against this much ... well, I don't know what to call it.

Indeed, very pleased. To be fair, I also thought of The Raid as well. I just wanted to share that it takes place on Earth in the future, not on another planet.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
Ignorance. But that's not the audience's problem. When you make a picture, it's not just for people who are fans or will pay attention.
Again taste. This ain't gonna be no goddamn Shakespeare.

Again ignorance. It's not supposed to be.
Its not ignorance if people don't want to see what looks like a 'meh' B movie. Your high handedness on whats good or not is...just so cute.
Its ok to say this is going to be a meh popcorn movie and that you like meh popcorn movies. I liked Lilo and Stitch enough to have a L and S themed birthday party (complete with lots mai tais!) but I'm perfectly fine admitting its just a kids movie.
Now the similarities to Stitch and TBone the weiner dog terror or Texas are indeed striking, but thats another thread.
on the other hand, i ncan't seeing anyone screaming " I AM THE LAW" other than Stallone, or maybe Dr. Ruth.

People who are actually familiar with the comic are in a better position than people who are not to say whether or not this looks like a good interpretation of the comic. Well, I suppose that depends on what you mean by "position." If all you mean is "can post on the internet" then yeah we all have the same capacity. As to this being a B-Film, I don't really object. Lots of great movies are B-films. Many B-Films are much better than "A-Films."

Urban is on board. He compared it to The Good The Bad And The Ugly. You don't say at the end: "man, I know nothing about that guy 'cause I never knew his name."

Ever. In fact they need to show him sleeping, replete with Three Stooges sleeping sound effects, in bed with a teddy bear (also in uniform) and his helmet.

See there you go. Once we get to "I'm a comic guy who likes comic action movies" we're cool.
I do like the female as a bad guy.

For me, the most exciting thing is Olivia Thirlby as Judge Anderson. Cassandra Anderson is my favorite fictional character across every genre. I'm nervous that people might not "get" the character because she was put in as a counter-measure for how people responded to Joe Dredd with pro-fascist cheering. Anderson is a reminder that the whole thing is absurd, maybe downright evil, but we should try our best anyhow. Over the years, Dredd has come to embody some of that, too. But Anderson, who has always been ready with a witty retort, is the original.
