Ahem. Saw Dredd 3D again last night. Kicked some arse.

Having said all that, I will probably end up buying it on Blu Ray and watching it again. It did have some great stuff in it, mainly Tom Hardy's performance as Bane.

We have the first two on DVD. We've watched the first a few times, but the second was a gift and remains shrink-wrapped. I think the third would be lucky to get on to the shelves. I'll strongly consider buying Dredd, though.

Did the reviewer get her wires crossed on this?
Was there a proposed Dredd and Anderson Kiss in a one version of the script?

Original Dredd creator John Wagner was on hand as consultant throughout filming for writer and producer by Alex Garland, and nixed a scene where Anderson and Dredd kiss - Judge Dredd doesn't do romance, and neither does Anderson.

I repsonded in the comments section: You must take the context of the 'kiss' into account. It wasn't a romantic kiss, even in the original script, it was the kiss-of-life. In one of the last scenes Anderson was unconscious so there was still no romatic connotation to the act, it was purely functional.
It was still cleverly written and a play on the platonic relationship between the two characters but the wound dressing in the lift worked better.

Has DREDD 3D struck a cord with the feminists?

There was a few more articles that remarked on the same theme.

It's a well made argument. Dredd is the faceless unchanging judge, his character development is virtually zero for the protagonist of a movie (in 35 years of te comic we have seen a definite progression in character, but at a glacial pace). Anderson is clearly the heart of the movie, with Ma Ma as her twisted counterpart.

He does give her the pass whereas he wouldn't have done it for anyone with Anderson's level of skill beforehand, that's a change in character, however slight.

Agreed.

[James Stacey]

That's not a change in character, it's a change of opinion about Anderson based on an increased knowledge. It wasn't the events of the film that changed him on an emotional level, just a better grasp on what Anderson could achieve. It was just a 'drug bust' to Dredd. It hardly registered on him at all as indicated at the end of the film.

[IndigoPrime]

i'd argue [spoiler]it's a shift from Dredd having made an opinion and being stoic to being able to be surprised by someone[/spoiler]. This is very similar to how he acted in the comics, although that kind of change often took a much larger amount of time.

[JOE SOAP]

That's not a change in character, it's a change of opinion about Anderson based on an increased knowledge.

which is more or less what any character arc is meant to achieve.

He's considering what the job could possibly achieve in a non-violent way, I'd say that's a big change for Dredd.
