Dredd went into production before The Raid.. it was actually the fact that it had to go through lots of 3D post-production which meant it was released long afterwards.

A mixture of Stallone, Lionsgate’s shoddy distribution and 3D killed this film.

I thought the plot was a bit crap - sort of Die Hard meets The Raid (hardly any specific Dredd world content) but the film was reasonably entertaining and well-made. More people should have supported it. It was never going to be a mega-hit but it deserved to do better than it's done. I doubt there will be a third Judge Dredd film but if it happens, for Grud's sake, hire someone that can deliver an imaginative storyline! Don't copy other films' plots!

While it would be great to think Blu-ray and DVD sales could bail it out I don’t think it’s very likely. Still,there’s always the chance that a flop cult movie can generate a sequel, but I hope we don’t have to wait as long as we did for “Escape From L.A.” (fifteen years) or “Tron: Legacy” (twenty eight years)!

Most critics forgot that the original version didn't the 3D effect. The movie cost more money to made. The new actor look and sound like Sly Stallone from the original movie. I will save my money and buy the DVD when it become available. I got a feeling that the DVD format will save the movie and god help me that here will be a third installment of Judge Dredd in the near future.

If that hadn't happened, this would have done great. Saw it Friday and it made me really irritable about the Stallone film. If that hadn’t happened, this would have done great.
