I think it's release was soiled by the original's awfulness.
For instance, I tried to persuade my dad to go see it with me. And he had zero interest. Not even for a free trip to the movies with me.

Well, it is pretty bad. But me and pops go to the movies a good bit. When I know that he has zero interest, I don't even ask (ie Master). Or if I'm just anxious about watching it, and want to go first thing Saturday morning.
Thinking about it, this might be the first time he's declined in 10+ years.

I like the original also it was horrible movie that most people wouldn't like. The comic is interesting. I think people that like heavy metal comic would also the dredd comic.

Saw it. Loved it.
Grew up reading and loving 2000AD/Dredd comics, was beyond fucking livid over that Stallone bloody, squirming, third-trimester abortion of a movie. This was simple, direct, gritty, violent, and more importantly, they nailed the character.
And yeah, having seen The Raid: Redemption, it's hard not to draw comparisons.

Just watched it again on Blu with my Dad. Even better the 2nd time around. Dad liked it also, and kept saying how different it was from other action movies.

That was a bad ass movie. I never would have guessed that from the trailers. It is one of those movies you finish and want to just start all over again.
Karl Urban is so underrated.

Just saw it. Fucking fantastic. I'd heard it was like The Raid and it was similar, but so much better. Karl Urban was spectacular. I'm sorry I missed this in the theaters. Hopefully we get a sequel because this was a great flick.

I've watched the blu ray twice already. The 3D works very well and will be watching that version from now on. I loved that scene in your spoiler as well. The look on MA-MAs face was just perfect.

The Raid comparisons are because the Dredd script leaked more than a year prior and those guys likely had read it. The similarity in scenes between the two is far too spot-on in many cases to say the writer of The Raid didn't read it, in my opinion.

Has everyone gave cunnilingus to their Dredd blu rays yet? I just ripped open the wrapping and went straight to town. I've also been beating the shit out of everyone who hasn't seen this yet.

Are you aware that the new Judge Dredd film has basically the same plot as The Raid?
Gareth Evans: Yes. It was weird, because, while we were in post on The Raid, I was telling a friend what the story was about – a bunch of guys storming a building. And he said, that’s like the new Judge Dredd movie. And I said, “What?”
He sent me a link that explained the story, and I said, “Oh God, we have to get this released very, very soon.”

Where did the idea of the assault on the building come from? It sort of reminded me a bit of Assault On Precinct 13, but in reverse.
Gareth Evans: Again, I knew nothing about Judge Dredd until post-production, but yeah, all the influences came from stuff like Die Hard. Assault On Precinct 13 was amazing – a big influence. Escape From New York as well. But the thing that pushed me to make this as a SWAT team film, was the video for Born Free by MIA. I just fell in love with that video – the way it was shot and edited was very informative to how we approached the film.
That was the video we showed to every cast and crewmember as soon as they came through the door. After about fifteen minutes, we said, have a look at this video.
