I'll fight for the Stallone version any time.
Urban's version was unironic, and Dredd is always meant to be done ironically.
The greatest version of Dredd is Stallone... in Demolition Man
Interesting take.
The Urban version is damn near a complete ripoff of The Raid, which is a better movie. It’s a fun watch and Heady gives a great performance, but that’s about it.
Not a ripoff but a fucking coincidence. The movie that premiered first started recording second.
Dude, there are entire segments that are almost shot-for-shot homages. I really enjoy the Urban version of Dredd, but it's just The Raid with white people.
It's way underrated, but watch Dick Tracey with Warren Beatty and Madonna. She gives the best performance of her career and the movie makers used a lot of great tricks to make it look like an old time cartoon come to life. For instance, in the old 'four color' process, there was exactly one shade of yellow, one of green etc. No variation. If you look ,you'll see that they did the same thing in the movie.
