Great to hear it's going down well - I expect they'd want to release a red-band trailer off the back of the ultra-violence buzz...

This is just perfect news all round. Well done to Team DREDD

Funny how the one consistent negative point being made is that Dredd lacks scale, or looks a bit low budget.

I wonder - do the people making these comments actually know how much it cost to make? Are they directly comparing it to the likes of Battleship/The Avengers?

It's a positive sign that so far no one is saying the special effects themselves look cheap.

These early reviews - especially the Total Film one - are better than I could have dreamed. I actually just punched the air reading through them!

I can't believe they poured that much money into such a waste of time.. I'd watch it only for an alien being shot in the face with an 80mm cannon and the odd minigun, but that's it..

...me too, I went to get my brekkie and suddenly did something similar, right out of character...made a fist, bared teeth, kicked foot forward and whispered a foul oath!...not sure what possessed me. But this news has made my day.

Also worth pointing out that by the sounds of it a few of the more cautious/negative tweets are by people who haven't actually seem the film - they're just surprised that it's been week-received...

Beautiful,just beautiful!

LET'S GET PISSED EVERYONE(even though it's 9.43 in the morning!)!!

Looks extremely promising! SDCC can be a real gamble, a movie can die before launch if the buzz goes bad over there. The only (semi-) negatives are non-issues. Similar to The Raid. So what? Lower budget than The Avengers. So what?

It's DREDD done right!!

..has anyone got Blackmocco's number to wake him up?

There have been some comments that it may be played too straight, without the satire - like Starship Troopers before Verhoeven skewered it as a satire on fascism.

Obviously I haven't seen it, but that sounds like a more considered opinion than most.

Did he get a ticket?....It's not too far from him.
