Just saw this movie yesterday. I went in thinking it wasn’t gonna be great, and man was I wrong. I honestly had no problem with the movie taking place in one location. Rather than a weak story spread out over too much space, they kept it tight, and made sure everything was right. A 200 story apartment complex is plenty of space for an action movie, and they explored it perfectly. The space felt big, and having an open atrium made it feel epic. You could feel the scale of the fight that Dredd was walking into.

LOVED it, too bad its box office isn’t doing so hot.

Wow, I actually thought the movie was going to be horrible, I am sure many other people did also which is why it only grossed $6 million this weekend. Maybe it will discourage the studio from making more reboots and rehashes

Funny thing: Dredd script was started in 2006 and in 2010 was available on the Web. The Raid production started in 2010)

Holy crap, this review was difficult to read. The unnecessary adverbs, confusing structure (referencing Die Hard a paragraph later was pointless; also BadAcid confused what you were saying probably due to bad reading comp, if not odd sentence structure), and the bothersome op-ed interjections (again, what BadAcid is referring to) are all unbecoming. Sure, they seem like minor issues. But it’s difficult to trust the opinion of someone who seems sloppy in their prose (not saying you are, but you might wanna tidy up).
An editor could fix a good portion of these issues. Just saying.

I agree I was pleasantly surprised when I was finished watching this movie. I definitely deserves a potential sequel. I too was a little bummed to see it take place in one setting so hopefully is there is a sequel, they will visit some other locations of the city next time. Great movie!

I hope this movie gets a sequel with the same director. The execution of the first movie proves that this franchise has some serious potential.

When I first saw the teaser for this I rolled my eyes and thought of the barrel Hollywood has thoroughly scraped to the bottom of.

Then I saw the trailer and I had to admit it looked pretty cool, but trailers can make anything look good.
So to see all these positive reviews is a surprise but to be honest it’s nice to see a film that was predicted to be a crapbox turn out to be more than just its concept or title.

I doubt I’ll see it in the cinema but I’ll definitely check it out on dvd.
