Great pic, but I'm disappointed Goaty doesn't put each of these in a new thread. ;)

This one's for Burdis: the man in the video considers dressing up like Judge Dredd is a bad thing.

Another feature in Empire;

When Is A Remake Not A Remake?
Dredd (2012)
Call it:
The first proper make

Our friends in the US are guiltier of dubbing this a "remake" than we are here in the UK, largely down to a lack of familiarity with the very British source material. To many, Judge Dredd is simply a character from a bad Stallone movie (although that film does have some strengths, mostly in the production design). To the rest of us, the satirical dystopian fascist lawman is a mainstay of 2000AD, a comic we grew up with, and the new film was an opportunity to get the material right. "It's irritating," growled Dredd's creator John Wagner to Empire last year. "It's not a remake, it's a proper make!" And if anyone feels like trying to be a smartarse, it's not a remake of The Raid either. Dredd was in production first, and the similarities are coincidence.

Spikes

Even better if we could all 'call it' the first part of the Dredd trilogy....

Even better had these UK mags now banging on about how good Dredd was had actually given it more than a mildly positive review.

Yep. Can't believe they get in such a lather over very mediocre and clearly flawed blockbuster fare like Star Trek Into Darkness, Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel, when the homegrown (sort of) Dredd is so clearly a superior film that people will actually still care about after the hype has died down. Three stars indeed!

It's good to keep in mind that more than one person reviews films or writes articles/features in these mags. One particular reviewer may like the film you like or may not; luck of the draw.

Empire gave Dredd some massive coverage. It wasn't their fault that people did not go and see it.

Anyone see if DREDD was stocked in Tesco, haven't seen it in there.

Well not Tesco Ireland but that's kind of self-explanatory. UK stores have plenty, I believe.

Yup, millions of them.

I gave it a positive review!

No one read it almost... but it was positive!
