Mini Dredd, Big Dredd
For those of you confused about who was behind the mask in the recent Dredd reboot, it was this guy, Karl Urban! Here he demonstrates that signature frown (which looks even more ridiculous outside of the helmet) with one of his youngest fans who has no business watching either Judge Dredd movie for like another ten years at least.
I really did like that film, and in late September it stands as one of the best action flicks of the year, if not the best, as few others are coming to mind right now. Definitely go see it if you haven’t. It’s not doing great at the box office, and we need it to start doing better to show that movies don’t have to rely on A-list stars or PG-13 adaptations to warrant funding.
Reading the few reviews I did, I expected to at least enjoy Dredd as a campy action flick, but I didn’t expect for it to be one of my favorite films of the year.
It really is sad that it’s low box office performance will send the wrong message to Hollywood and we’ll keep getting the same ol’ crap.
So Paul, you are meaning to tell me that this movie is better than the Avengers and TDKR? Or do you not consider those action movies? What is happening!?!?!
Oh, yeah I mean those are action flicks. But in my mind “blockbusters” are kind of their own category. But in terms of other R-rated action heavy films, it’s hard to think of many this year.
Does anybody else think that Dredd looks just like Captain Falcon?
