Crusader Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 If this really is that good and fun I hope it somehow manages to climb over the 50 mil mark Quality needs to be supported We don't want more Total Recalls do we ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 These are mostly UK reviewers right? I wonder if it all goes south when the American reviewers start to weigh in. Hopefully not but that's what happened with Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not but that's what happened with Thor.It's definitely a possibility, but considering the enthusiastic reception at the SDCC screening, I'm not too worried.

Garland already has the sequels pretty much written, and they sound awesome. If audiences show up and the second and third movies are green-lit with decent budgets, it could be a really nifty trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the buzz like?It's getting some buzz for being unexpectedly good, but I'm not sure how much that will help at the box office. It's still a hard R film based on a second (third?) tier comic book character that already had a near-fatal big screen hack job. A $15M opening weekend seems like the best case scenario. That extra 3D revenue will certainly help! Edited September 7, 2012 by YoursTruly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 People seem to like this movie from what I'm reading online. What is the budget? Can't be the 45m I'm seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkshop36 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ah I didn't know that. I thought they were going all over the City.It's basically the same idea as that Raid:Redemption movie. Dredd and his partner have to fight their way up the floors to get to the main baddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Thats for the bigger budget sequel if this one does well. I do wish it well. Seems a lot of people are really excited for it. And then there are the geeks that complain about every little detail not being like the comics, lol. But doesn't see to be too many of those out there.

filmscholar Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm surprised by the reviews. No way it holds 100% in a few more weeks but surprising start critically. It's funny, I actually watched the original on the Big Screen in 95, I was 15. I brought a used VHS of it a few years later. I didn't think the orignal was that bad but it did have it's flaws. It looks like this one is taking a page from "The Raid" Indonesian film. But it looks pretty violent, I may give it a chance cause I like the Dredd character. But I have to be honest, the trailer didn't do it for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
