Many story and character elements that are seemingly significant are brought up repeatedly but never followed through. Particularly, there are points made about Judge Anderson and her "gifts", which I won't spoil here, that I thought were meant to be important in one way or another, but are never followed through, even though it's suggested that other people like her are outcast from society. Similarly, there seems to be a recurring motif of the two judges running into children, though it's unclear why this is ever important or if it means anything at all.

I cant stop grinning today! Most of those reviews are absolutely excellent! Of course there are quibbles but the do seem relatively minor.

At last, the Dredd movie we've been hoping for!

From various comments I've read, it looks like a lot of people who were sceptical following the trailer are either now fully converted or willing to give this a go; the overwhelmingly positive reviews seem to be working wonders.  Word of mouth and the general buzz surrounding Dredd will hopefully go a long way to putting bums on seats come September.

And I predict that the press coverage will reach critical mass once CF hits Shrewsbury.

It's all the reviewers griping about the vehicles that I can't stand.  Oh, wait...

Oh wow, I  have been smiling uncontrollably with excitement reading through the reveiws! So fucking stoked now, bring on September!

It turns out the 'vintage' vehicles are entirely in keeping with early Dredd (more or less).  When the film hits, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a Ford Cortina.

Yes, but there better not be more than ten, or I will be voicing my displeasure at this continuity error on the internet.

Some guy on twitter posted that DREDD was

'Hands Down the most violent film I have seen in my life'

[radiator]

Lena Headey gives either the best or worst performance in the film, depending on who you listen to...

[Michaelvk]

I reckon (going on the reviews..), it's, as I predicted, going back to the 80's levels of gore and violence that's indeed been missing for so long in the movies these days. A proper hard film for a change.. I can't wait..

"Karl Urban is a fantastic Dredd, never removing his helmet and never letting lawbreakers get away with it. Relentless, unforgiving and compelling, he encapsulates all the complexity of Mega-city One's foremost fascist lawman with an economy and rugged authority that's a delight to behold. "

Exactly what I wanted. Efficiency. Not endless martial art repetition. God, I could cry I'm so happy.
