Big budget, A-list actors, lots of marketing, great movie. Is anyone here not aware of Dredd?

I keep trying to come up with recommendations for cyberpunk movies that people might not have seen. Yet most obscure movies are obscure for a reason. It’s usually “this movie is good but ____” or “it’s a fun movie if you can ignore ____” So for most of these recommendations, I hesitate to say “this movie is awesome and you need to see it!” because I don’t want to mislead anyone. Of course, this means all the movies that I truly do think are awesome I assume everyone has already seen and I don’t need to suggest them.

But maybe enough time has passed that some people here haven’t seen Dredd? Well, if you haven’t, you should. It’s awesome. Just don’t watch the 1995 Judge Dredd movie with Sylvester Stallone and Rob Schneider because that one is not good.

Of course, I say everyone should watch Dredd but it isn’t streaming anywhere… except DirecTV I guess, if that counts. But I made a post earlier where I mentioned I’ve been avoiding recommending movies that you can’t watch online and some people said I should recommend them anyway. So here we are.

    Can’t believe the original Dredd is almost 30 years old. A guilty pleasure I hold dearly to my heart. I am the Law!

      I love both for different reasons. But when my dog is ignoring me and not doing what I asked him to do, I am guaranteed to yell that line through the side of my mouth. It’s tradition.
