Dredd

























4/5

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. This is EVERYTHING I wanted out of a remake of Judge Dredd. First of all, WHY WOULD YOU REMAKE JUDGE DREDD?! Are there really Dredd nuts screaming for a remake of a super silly movie? Apparently. This was exactly as gritty, as bloody, as silly, as tongue in cheek, and as self aware as a movie like this needs to be. It was like The Raid: Redemption only more predictable (in a fun way),  and a different kind of badass. He had the perfect walk, the perfect voice, and the perfect moments to let himself be corny. I loved the villain, I loved the power she had and the drug she pushed. I loved how the movie didn't try to explain the future but delved into a very graspable story to avoid becoming silly in a science way, keeping itself tongue in cheek in an action way. Sylvester Stallone, I hope you're proud.
