RESULTS: What Did You Think Of DREDD?

RESULTS: What Did You Think Of DREDD?

It hasn't fared very well at the US box office - and that's an understatement - but does that reflect its quality? We asked you guys to give your verdicts on Pete Travis' Dredd, and the results are in..

Feature Opinion
By MarkCassidy - Sep 27, 2012 06:09 AM EST
Filed Under: Other



As you can see below, a huge majority of you went with the most positive option, and it continues on that way - although the jokey final one "No Rob Schneider, no blockbuster" actually picked up more votes than the previous two. But with a massive 70.98% of the votes, 1,252 of you love Dredd and think it should be doing a hell of a lot better than it is right now..



It's not too late to give the movie a bit of a life injection - if you haven't seen it, do so, and even if you have, convince a buddy or three to and join them! If any movie has some re-watch appeal it's surely the ultra-violent, action packed Dredd. We'll have a box office update over the next couple of days.

I second that best CBM of the year!

If you love Robocop and 80s Action flicks then you'll like Dredd.

Obviously DREDD is based on a comic book character but that actually isn't all that relevant...DREDD is quite simply a badass action movie.

This Judge Dredd is a force to be reckoned with,another great tough as nails role to add to films other tough guys.

People enjoy cop movie shoot em ups & this flick fits the bill with Karl as Judge Dredd & Olivia as Judge Anderson being one of cinemas best "cop" duos in my opinion.

Shameful they may not be able to re-team to showcase further assignments in Mega City One.
DREDD is good,go see it at the theater soon as possible!

Not so sure of the "Best CBM of the year!" claim. In all fairness, though, I haven't seen it yet. But I'm gonna go out on a limb here and state that I don't think "Avengers" or "Batman" (even "Spider-man") have anything to fear from "Dredd" throwing its head bucket into the ring.

Just a hunch ...

Dude I thought it was going to be another meh action flick, and my girl loves action flicks and wanted to see it more than I did. she convinced me to go solely on the fact that its based on a comic. Holy Shit was I surprised at how dope it turned out. The thumping pumping soundtrack really made those action scenes 10x more intense. When the rest of the users on this site can go to R rate films maybe they will understand how shit bats and the rest look compared to Dredd. This is how you make an adaptation! there was no fluff no "love story" no bullshit scenes wasting half the film. PURE AWESOMENESS ! Honestly if you can go see this in theaters GO AND [frick]ING SEE IT!!! do not wait for the dvd/bluray GO SEE IT NOW!!!!!!!!! I'm not one to care about films being "flops" ect but really pay to see this one! of all the CBMs this year this should be the one making a billion at the box office Because it freaking deserves it.

Makes TDKR look like Legends of the Superheroes. Superb on the big screen in 3D.

This is a film that will have a cult following .. the majority of people out there will not like it. but for any one that reads 2000ad or just loves bloody action anti-hero bad-ass-ism ... this is a WIN.

I will be seeing this several times in the theater, and owning it on 3D Blu-ray

Karl Urban is such a badass in this, makes Batman and The Avengers look like a bunch of pussies.

@Newtsy
Not gonna bash on ya pal but DREDD is a movie that's coming from a whole different place than the The Avengers,Amazing Spider-Man & Dark Knight Rises..those heroes don't kill,DREDD will put a foot & a bullet on your ass!

DREDD is an R-rated brutal,action movie not a cotton candy,rainbow & teddy bear film.
GO SEE IT NOW!

LOL, I think you're right. I saw this on opening Friday night at 8:30pm. There was less than 10 people in the theater.

Maybe the idiots who distribute this will realize they can actually re-release it in like a year or two with a proper marketing campaign. Star Wars, Titanic, and Finding Nemo were all re-released. It could work. They really [frick]ed up this release. Awesome movie!

I didn't think it was that good. Maybe I've seen way too many action shoot em up movies but to me this didn't offer anything different or new. It just ran through the motions of your typical shoot the bad guy movie.

Fantastic movie. Wish I would not have seen The Raid before it, but even though they were similar, I think it was a great first movie that warrants a sequel.

They could do so much with the second movie. It was refreshing to see what they accomplished with only a $45 million budget. More money does not equal a better movie. Keep in mind it didn't have 100 million for advertising either.

The movie Punisher:War Zone or either of those godawful Ghost Rider films should have been! If not the best CBM of the year, certainly the most hard core and one of my personal favourites of all time. Really, really needs a 'second wave' of marketing highlighting the critics responses. Please America, get it seen! you won't regret it!

rea1dea1stee1 - 9/27/2012, 8:31 AM
This movie is the dogs ballax!!! best film this year for me.. how action films should be made! just hope the studio see's they drop the ball with the marketing on this one and move ahead with a second

BEST MOVIE IVE SEEN IN A LONNNG TIME.

This will go down as the most under rated movie of the year mark my words.

the real tragedy will be the fact that studio execs will probably blame its lack luster sales on the violence and R rating...

I took my girlfriend and her brother to see it and they were speechless.

There's a new Drudge Dredd movie? They should try advertising it.

To quote my Girl Friend.

"That movie WAS [frick]ing Bad Ass! It was beautifully directed too every scene was pure art work whoever directed this movie did a really really good job"

I myself was surprised at how good it actually was. By the end of it i was at the edge of my seat cheering him on!!!

I was able to get away with that because there were only 4 of us in the whole theater.

have seen it twice now...once in 2D and once in 3D...i actually preferred it in 2D. Did i like it? i saw it twice what do you think?
gaikinger
gaikinger - 9/27/2012, 9:20 AM
...and yeah...its kinda funny but true that it makes the other CBMs look like Care Bears. Dont get me wrong, i really liked the others that came out but Dredd?...CBM of the year by far.

I really cant work out how such a well recieved film has done so badly. I thought it was best cbm this year but Ive read 2000ad for years so my opinion is probably bias, but ive had friends who dont know my comic habits tell me how good it was. my 20 year old neice posted on facebook last week that her and her friend had seen it and in her words it was 'AWESOME'. shes never read a comic book in her life but took a chance on it and loved it. Deserves so much better.

dreddhead123 - 9/27/2012, 10:18 AM
Yes, everyone loves Dredd 3D! It's the highest rated action film of the year, perhaps of all time. People have raved about it:

INCREDIBLE!

MAGNIFICENT!

AWESOME!

BAD ASS!

I FRICKIN LOVED IT!

Yes, it's the hot ticket in town. And it's so exclusive when you see it you will have the theater all to yourself. Yes, it's so hot no-one else wants to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:P :P :P :P :P
