‘DREDD’ takes us to the wild streets of Mega City One, the lone oasis of quasi-civilization on Cursed Earth. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is the most feared of elite Street Judges, with the power to enforce the law, sentence offenders and execute them on the spot – if necessary. The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and the frenetic vision of director Peter Travis bring ‘DREDD’ to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film that returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra’s revered comic strip.

    I still think the helmet is too big !

    As I said when I first saw the new Dredd...
    Why in holy gods name is his helmet so unbelievably disproportionate to his body? Seriously makes him look stupid.

    Also, his view must be so narrow in that lid, the side of the glass appears to just go to where his eyes stop.

    Ach stupid designers and trying to make everything look fancy!

    Rarely have I been so dubious about a film, I blame Stallone for it. I like Karl Urban. I know that I should give this the benefit of the doubt, but... it's hard!

    As much as I like Karl Urban I just don't see him as Dredd, and as others have said whats the deal with the helmet looking like it should be on the head of the hulk lol, seriously though I can't see him being any worse than Stallone.

    Hopefully this won't be as 'Dredd'ful as Karl Urban's other sci-fi flop Doom! (sorry for the terrible pun)

    CGI perps will fix up the helmet later, no doubt. Em, I hope....

    I really don't think this is going to be any good. And the helmet is pretty massive.
