DREDD reviews. (SPOILERS!)

[junox]

The biggest quibble mentioned, was how Dredd managed to carry on after being shot, but they seemed happy with my explanation that its 'special future medicine' that allowed him to do that, 

Please, please, please let there be sequels!

just a flesh wound

[The Sherman Kid]

They certainly missed a trick not putting a pythonesque 'tis but a scatch' line in there

[The Sherman Kid]

scratch!-Damn missing edit function.

[JayzusB.Christ]

I prefer 'scatch'.

Just watched the film last night - not much more to be said than has been said already, but it was very cool indeed.  Karl Urban has totally cracked the Dredd persona - roll on more people reading 2000ad, and some sequels!

[mygrimmbrother]

My girlfriend (Grud bless her) loved the bit where JD got shot. She said afterward that he was so tightly wound that for his only reaction to be that long, low exhale while slumping slowly down the wall was just spot on. She didn't have a problem with him patching himself up and carrying on either, because she just got how friggin' hard Dredd is (and again, she doesn't read the comic)

[radiator]

Yeah and I love his expression when you get that close up of his face while he patches himself up. You can tell how painful it is, but he controls it.

[shaolin_monkey]

The biggest complain she had was 'there was no joy in it'.

Women.

But there was, and my date commented on it!  There were the kids on the skate ramp, who were clearly having a blast, chilling out with the girls watching and cheering them on. She really liked the fact the kids were still finding fun, despite their grim surroundings.

Quick question about the techies eyes, did Ma Ma gouge out his original peepers and replace them with bionics or something?

Watched it twice now and still can't quite work it out.

[Danbo]

Thats what I thought.

[James Stacey]

she's shown twice gouging his eyes out with her thumbs isnt she?

That's the way I understood it - didn't realise it was the same guy the first time it was shown, but when Anderson read his mind that did seem to be very much the case.

Yes..

[Pioneer]

And the purpose was he could do the techie shizzle better? (for want of a better term, I'm busy!)

Aaaand yes.. Or it's the standard replacement for anyone who can afford them (most likely done by Ma-Ma clan on the cheap, hence the red inflammation..)

[JayzusB.Christ]

Suppose so, yeah, though I don't think it was explained in detail.  He was very much Ma Ma's bitch though, and seemed to have been bullied into the role of criminal techmaster.
