This relatively low key but very effective film might be a way of opening a door for the more fantastical and satirical aspects of Judge Dredd.<br /><br />Mind you, the last time someone suggested that the apparent moderation was being used as a way of opening the door for something else, it was my Grandad, an NUM member, telling me in 1996 that Blair's 'moderation' was cover for socialism.

I'll wait to see it on DVD, assuming they release a 2D version.<br /><br />Even those who've loved the film -- and there have been more than a few -- have said that Mega City One is wrong, but I think that was clear from the trailers, so I'm not expecting it. People seem united in saying that Karl Urban is a good Dredd though; what did you think?<br /><br />I've often thought that the any Dredd film has an uphill struggle because they already made an excellent Dredd movie in <i>Robocop</i>.<br />thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
