It’s all wishful thinking, so go crazy.

    Dredd (2012) was a techically proficient, but ultimately mediocre piece of uncritical copraganda action schlock, and a vastly inferior film to Judge Dredd (1995). i will die on this hill.

      Now that is a SPICY take, and I applaud your bravery.

      I mean the nostalgia runs deep for the 1995 one cause I was a child, but I highly recommend posting this on unpopular opinion.

      I’ll give you this, the old one felt more comic bookish. But if they do go back to the campy, please give me some dark judges!

      I don’t know if I’d go as far as to call it copaganda, but it’s definitely true that it downplayed the anti-fascist satire of the original source material

      I don’t remember watching either of these two movies so I have no skin in the game, but I love it when someone is this passionate about a controversial opinion like this.
