Dredd (2012)

[Misanthrope]

Half of the actor's grim-looking face is seen underneath Dredd's famous helmet.

How can we see his face if it is underneath his helmet?

The clue there being half. Most people's faces don't stop at their noses.

So shouldn't say: Half of the actor's grim-looking face is hidden underneath Dredd's famous helmet?

As Steve said the clue there is half, meaning half is seen but that half -like all his head- is still underneath the helmet, not covered, underneath.

You could say either.

Two different definitions of "underneath" at work here.  The half of Dredd's face that is underneath [inside of] the helmet is hidden.  The half of Dredd's face that is underneath [vertically below] the helmet is visible.

I've only just realised Dredd doesn't have a daystick. My precious childhood. This is like Bayformers all over again.

[JOE SOAP]

Some perp sat on it.

"How about a magic trick? I'm gonna make this daystick disappear."

That's one way to clear a room.

Sorry if it been mentions, are Dredd doing fist fights or something in the film?

[JOE SOAP]

There'll be some fisting.

Maybe it's a telescopic one!

I enjoyed Transformers.. Despite not really following what's going on in the latter two..

This is starting to sound like a good Carry On film.

Design issues aside, I do actually have a fondness for the first one after watching ROTF and DOTM, where Prime became a psychopath for whatever reason. It was kinda fun watching the whole production unfold in slow motion though.

Plus the first flick had Bumblebee playing Drive. That's hard not to like.

They won't admit it but fan rage did get Frenzy's name changed from Soundwave, which was sacrilege.
