inb4 the Raid is better

protip its not

Did it flop? That's a shame. Killer movie. Cinema I'd even say.

Poor marketing

Mostly blamed on lack of promotion.

Also males pirate movies more.

>Hard R-rating
>No marketing
>No big actors
>When most people think of Dredd they think of the shitty 90s Stallone movie

It's a damn shame tough, I agree it was great and would have loved a sequel

no marketing, no name recognition

this probably would have been a very successful movie 10 - 20 years ago in the rental/dvd buying era

Just kind of a hard movie to sell to the general audience unfortunately. No big action star like Stallone either.

It was grokkin awesome though, as a Dress fan I thought it delivered a lot of what I love about the comics. Would make a great Netflix show.

is Sup Forums an iso-cube

Karl Urban isn't big desu?

Dredd* fuck you autocorrect.

Same reason why Edge of Tomorrow didn't destroy the box office. No one knew it existed due to shit marketing, and it only now gets any recognition and bluray sales because of word of mouth.

Feels like a slightly higher budget of a sci fi channel movie

The part with the mind rape is top cringe.

She is supposed to be a powerful psychic and she is almost over come when she looks into the mind of a fairly run of the mill African american gentle man his brain is so full of fuck.

Its found it fairly racist and i browse Sup Forums on the regular.

He's really not. He gets leading roles but most people don't know him.

Edge of tomorrow was pretty forgettable to be honest

did you even watch the movie, she's baiting him into a false sense of security

I disagree familia. Pretty sure it has one of the larger cult followings this decade.

3D gimmicks, CGI blood in them

and if it did get tons of promotion it would called a bad thing and make it plebcore

Marketing was shit.

Why is that necessary when she is a powerful psychic. He should have no defense.

He also seems to be aware that his powerful sexuality has over powered her. It was all just awful no matter how its framed.

What cult following?

what what? i think you need to watch it again, if anything, she let him think that he was in control because right after, she totally mind fucked him to the point where he pissed himself!

Me

> He should have no defense.

you're making assumptions. Obviously the average person is not totally helpless against a psychic or she would have just mind fucked him from the beginning.

I'm with you user, but I know it from premium cable.

also this is like saying if a boxer fights an amateur fighter, the pro should immedietly knock him out. Thats retarded, no matter how untrained someone is, they can still throw their hands and carelessness will get the other person knocked out. All footage you see of a pro fighting an untrained person goes the same way, the pro dodges a few wild punches and lulls the other person in a false sense of security by being on the defensive, then deals a knockout blow or a barrage that wins them the fight

bad marketing and it was originally named DREDD 3D or DR3DD or some shit when the 3d meme was dieing so everybody figured it would suck

Love how you listed literally everything a plebeian 14 year old looks for in a film.

This is why it flopped.

It's genrefaggotry for pre-pubescant teens

Poor marketing and limited 2D release.

>im a faggot who hates fun

i bet you enjoy the films of tarkovsky

No one knew it existed. The only reason I saw it is because my friends and I were at the theater, we saw the poster, and said "fuck it let's see what this is"

>Feels like a slightly higher budget of a sci fi channel movie

This!

Was fucking disappointing, when will the fucking moron producers realize that if you are going to tell a Dredd story, it either needs to be a MASSIVE scale block war or a Judge Death storyline, this time with a hot Judge Anderson who actually looks the part.

>those psychedelic as fuck slow-mo scenes

>When most people think of Dredd they think of the shitty 90s Stallone movie
I actually thought that they made the Stallone movie in 3D because I wasn't paying attention. I have it on DVD now.

No marketing
Was called DREDD 3D

Why didn't they call a helicopter to pick them up instead of going back in?
They could've come back with backup.

>perps were uncooperative

>great visuals
It's a good movie, OP, but you don't need to make things up.
Dredd flopped because of almost no marketing and a lack of big name stars.

>attempted murder of a judge
>the sentence is DEATH

Nah It's just the film was terrible. It didn't 'feel' like it had any connection to the franchise it was based off of.

Its a British film based on a British comic, it also doesn't have any high profile stars in the leading role, which is the only reason the first one was released in the 90s because they had Stallone. People in the states still remember the original one too, which was a really weak film, they didn't want another one in the states

Sentence is death

Are you implying one can't enjoy both?

Shit screenplay and writing, vanilla directing and overall dull cinematography, horrible 'actors' like Urban or Lena.

>which was a really weak film,
Britfag here, I just want to say that I enjoyed it, that is all.

It was barely advertised, I was the one of only 5 people in the screening when I saw it

everyone i know saw it once it was on netflix and loved it

i asked them why they didn't see it at the theater and they said they didn't know about it

I actually got a rental copy once it came out on DVD, that was the only time I watched it.

It was simply too good for the usual capeshit. People were looking for more Emo Batman nonsense and SJW, so the authoritarian, fascist-dystopic figure of Dredd was not of their liking

I love that line. To most people, what Dredd and Anderson experienced would have been hellish. To Dredd, it's just another day on the job.

terrible, terrible marketing
like the fact that it was exclusively promoted as "Dredd 3D" and it was extremely hard to find 2D showings

Stallones film was a parody of the source material bub

>horrible 'actors' like Urban

>rookie will never mindrape you
;_;

>why did it flop?

cos it's good

i hated that the green screen was so apparent in this sequence as you can see the green reflection of almost everythomg

thats a funny way to say "Dumbed down for Americunts so badly it removed it completely from the source material in the hopes of selling toys and tee shirts"

>making a parody of a satirical comic

Never go full retard.

agreed

probably marketing and the R rating.

would have been nice if they had stuck closer to the source material, probably would have cost too much for CG and props etc.

Exactly

Why does nobody ever mention how most of it looked like a cheap internet movie.

That's the whole point. It wasn't a Massive block war or humanity wasn't on the line. It was just a average day for Dredd.

Why did they drag along the nigger for so long? They should've just shot him when mama sealed the building

but was it autocorrect?
dress fan...

Because he helped flesh out rookie's ESPer powers and introduce us to the failsafe on lawgivers.

Really stupid thing to complain about.

I agree, I really enjoyed the interracial porn too, really made me think

disagreed

I think "Day in the life of" when concerning action stars is hard for most audiences. You think about most action films, we fucking know the protagonist inside and out before that 80 minute movie is up. We know the why, who and how in short constructed ways so we can easily pass off then next 60 minutes as "oh he can do that because THIS."

Dredd didnt have that, we took what we could from what they gave us, and to an audience expecting a "no think" action movie, that's a lot to ask for.

Also Karl is my husbano.

Marketing was shit but I was still planning on seeing it. 2 weeks after release it was pulled from my local theatre. Didn't end up watching Dredd until it came out on DVD.

>you will never take a massive hit of slo-mo while shitposting, making the time between each bump seem like decades

Why even live

Because Dredd is the LAW, not some vigilante. He always tries to bring the perps in alive if possible.

They pushed 3D too hard in the marketing and everyone thought it was just an effects spectacle.

Loved the interracial sex scene, very progressive, just wished it was longer

youtube.com/watch?v=EKtad9DGxrw

the one where dredd raids the room with the two stoners is 10/10

the cuck meme was a mistake - louis ck

Damn why is she so cute

>no lexi belle porn parody
why live

I was talking about the Urban Dredd, not Stallones JD. The Stallone film was really good,

>lexi belle
Pffft.
Look up Lily Labeau and happy fapping.

>Lily Labeau
jeez thanks!
not that guy btw.

know any that looks like mama?

a combination of superhero and grimdark fatigue on top of it not being a big property

(i know he's not really a superhero, but that's the impression you get from the advertising)

Came here to post this.

I liked it.

Crappy marketing, and people thought it would be like that shit Stallone movie.

I liked the stallone movie.
maybe you gay?

Just watch Game of Thrones

>dress fan
Fucking tranny degenerate

...

>Trying this hard to deny your fondness for dresses

Degenerate pls

It's a sad state of affairs when you have to spend money to the advertisement industry Jews in order to make money back. I still remember the utter disappointment I felt about Avatar . I expected something more after the extensive marketing brainwash we suffered for months

Yet you ignore
>grokkin awsome

>Backup
>Judges on Mom's payroll

These.

>as a Dress fan

>Implying Urban had to do anything than grunt lines and shoot things
Dredd in movies should really just be an emotionless puppet. That's kind of the character, you never know what he's feeling, you just have to watch his actions.

>Lena is bad
Meh I didn't really notice. She's just a setpiece anyway

it's because women can't into technology
