DREDD reviews. (SPOILERS!)

[shaolin_monkey]

I really like the fact that the film is quotable without having a catchphrase rammed down your throat 'I noo you'd say that'

The new one is not without it's cheese though, is it?  'As for you Ma-Ma - Judgement Time!'   

Lemme know when, and I'll tag along..

Will do!  Let's get some beers in after too!

[Michaelvk]

Hells yeah..

[James Stacey]

If its an open invite I could sit through it again

[Michaelvk]

We could get a group together and send it out of the theatre on a high..

[Proudhuff]

Well I saw this last night and its...just ok.

AH NEW YOU WEREGONNA SAY THAT!

[PsychoGoatee]

And as Cosh says; no memorable action sequences.  No "Lobby from The Matrix", no "Building Site chase from Casino Royale", no "Lightsabre fight from Phantom Menace" - basically no stand out action sequence that people will rave about. NB: Not counting gore here.

A couple things, earlier I was pointing out I consider this more of a crime thriller, playing mostly on tension, and didn't think it's a straight action movie as some call it. Think, say, Escape from New York or Assault on Precinct 13. (Assault on Sector 13?  ) Those movies have action and lots of violence yes, but they're mostly known for having character and tension. That's more the kind of movie I think Dredd is.

And that said, personally I find the whole climax from Anderson escaping on to be much more enjoyable scenes than say the light saber fight from Phantom Menace.

"Climax from Anderson"

Where was this scene, and how did I miss it?

Well played, well played. After the credits I believe.

[Zanti Misfit]

Wow! Must have been more interesting than the post-credit Marvel film scenes

(And apologies for making light of the points you were making, but the words 'climax' and 'Anderson' in the same sentence, well,... I'll be in my bunk..)

Yeah, that would be cool!  JudgeFett is a Cardiff lad too, so that could be four of us!  Go see Dredd and a piss-up at the Pen and Wig after.  I'd have to see it in Cineworld mind - are you both cool with that?  Could do tomorrow night, possibly, or the following Thursday (if it's still showing then!!).

[TordelBack]

It's not much of a leap to think Max Rockatansky is driving around an incinerated Australia in a stripped-down V8 at the same time.

Ho-yeah, there's something I can buy into.  Maybe we could have a Beyond Thunderdome remake where he feeds those whiny kids to Satanus?

[JOE SOAP]

OZ Judge Rockatansky.

[Michaelvk]

Tomorrow's a bit sudden for my planning, I'm afraid. Next thursday works groovy.. Fingers crossed Dredd's still knocking around..

[Spikes]

Ah yes, think this is one of my fave shots from the film. Just lovely.

Ferk, I should have looked at my calendar first - I have something planned for that Thursday already.  Bollocks.

Um... Weds? It would have to be a 9pm showing though...
