Dredd (2012)

[Frank]

Do we have any idea how the DVD/BD sales are breaking down? When the film was on release we were obsessively counting over every single pound spent and were on tenterhooks as it painfully inched towards (and fell short of...) the magical "made back budget" figure, so the extra augment to this from home sales will be important in judging Dredd's final success.

Perfect. Better even than bodies air-dumped in pits beyond the wall.

Plus critics who gave it a negative review. If such methods is good enough for Willow...

Maybe they didn't like it. That's OK. People have opinions.

Ok, maybe just Tookey then.

Maybe you should add me to your hate mail. I haven't bought the film. I may never get around to it.

I'm with Trout on this one. It seems to me that the definition of a good review here seems to be one from someone who likes the movie. Which is, of course, not the case at all.

Yup. It's not criticism if you slavishly follow the views of others. In my opinion, the fact there was a new Dredd film - great though it was - has at times had a negative effect on 2000AD fandom and this board. I expect it will be good for the comic in the long run, so that's all that matters to me.

Knowing the criticisms emanating from this board were being monitored and considered by the film-makers during the production itself; it's a good thing to remind ourselves that nothing is perfect.

Just created Alternate poster of Dredd.

Ohh that's lovely Goaty but it's huge (on my little monitor).
in reply to some stuff earlier;

I don't understand; on a six-hundred and eighty-six page long thread, that spans a period of almost two years and that chronicles the hopes, fears, wishes, trepidation, exultation and eventual philisophical resignation of a myriad of enthusiastic fans (of all forms) ... now you complain that people here, on this thread, aren't being objective?

Grudammit, how on earth would you expect them to be?
