Review of film Judge Dredd


I throughly enjoyed watching the whole film of Dredd. It was full of action and excitement with a very grown up yet thrilling persecutive to the cartoon comic judge Dredd. The film had a very gripping and understandable storyline that grow on me as it went through the film, but at the start i wasn't too sure how it would end or how it would all come together as it took a while for it to really get into the story line and become full of action. When i first saw the boxing of the film i wasn't too sure weather i would enjoy it because id never heard or seen Dredd comics so didn't know if would understand what was going on, but once the film got into it, it was full of exciting action and brilliant gripping scenes. The blood and violence i felt made the film, without it it wouldn't have been Dredd or an enjoyable film. The slow motion effects made the film seem more beautiful and artistic which contrasted with all the blood and violence which for me helped make the film more bearable and exciting. Dredd himself is such a brilliant character throughout the whole film, he's all for the law and whats right but at the same time such a good badass killing machine, he's a hero but not a superhero like ones you get in comics having super powers, Dredd is a normal human fighting for whats right in the world. He makes the film and its shown just right to how he's shown in the comic books that made a brilliant success themselves. I loved the futurist effect the film went with, how the city and buildings would look in the future but also how crime would be at the top of everything and slowly the world would be falling apart but isn't due to the judges fighting against crimes and villeins. I idea of all the set was exciting but realist, you could really imagine the world looking and becoming like that in the future, brilliantly thought out, really gripped my attention. I really liked the fact that the villein was a female and the story behind her was threatening and brilliant to make her character become more scary and mad, being as she is a female made me more interested because not very often are the bad guys girls, but her character was brilliantly bad and even scary. The only fault was that it ended too quickly and quietly, needed more fight and excitement at the ending of killing 'mama' she died to easily and quickly, despite that all in all was a thrilling and brilliant film to watch full of action and excitement despite is low budget and high loss, i enjoyed the film and will be watching it again.
