They seem to be quite positive over at AICN's about the poster which is as rare as rocking horse shit.

They have said in the past they didnt really "get" nor like Dredd. Lets hope this has converted them.

Just clocked these beauties on Facebook ... By Grud they're awesome!  Love the developing skyline of a growing Meg not quite big yet. The poster is awesome minus any shitey photoshoppery and lens flares. Its just pure noir lighting and looks amazing.  One thing ... DREDD holding gun with his left hand in the poster.  He is expert enough to shoot with both with equal accuracy but l thought his firing arm was right handed?

'Sternhammer Block' - lovin' it! Getting a real bit excited about this and not just because 'Real 3-D' means I can save £1 with my 'Avatar' glasses!

Seems like it's more of a design choice, they want the badge to be readable, so it's got to be viewed from that side, although the eagle pad side is probably more interesting visually.

The poster seems to be getting an overwhelmingly positive reception around the web - very heartening to see this movie finally getting some positive buzz!

That and the other side is a bit bland in comparison..

I'm sort of shocked there isn't more reaction to the wheeled vehicles in that Mega-City 1 shot. Contemporary trucks do not strike me as 'post-atomic war cyberpunk dystopia nightmare'

Also the skyline doesn't look nearly choked out by buildings that can hold the population of a small city enough.

Now I'm not saying it looks BAD, I'm just saying my first impression for the presentation of Mega-City 1 doesn't feel nearly overwhelming enough. At the very least Stallone Dredd got that right.

I hope 'boring looking wheeled trucks' was Wagner's 'minor complaint at the beginning' when he got to watch the film.

This looks much more awesome than I ever dared to hope.  Truly, truly excited now!

We've all known about the use of modern day vehicles for a long time - that's why it hasn't really been remarked upon.

And yes, the vehicles were Wagner's only remaining 'quibble' - but everything else he didn't like has been addressed.

So, the 'Judgment is coming' tag line confirms that the leaked badge/blood splatter teaser poster was indeed genuine, though it was probably a mockup.
