randombattle posted:I can't believe there is so much hate for the Stallone Dredd movie. It was great! This is nuts to me, Tank Girl is more 90's than The Fifth Element and just as entertaining. And the Lundgren Punisher is like, the definition of a crazy 80's action movie. It's like Cobra starring Dolph Lundgren.

Fish of hemp posted:What does this even mean? If I had to guess, it's that the unironic love of fascist brutality in Dredd is so pornographic that it makes the mock-right wing propaganda (Starship Troopers) look like leftist agitprop (Battleship Potemkin).

Outside of a handful of things, I wasn't taken by this at all. Nice to see Wood Harris again, though!

GreenBuckanneer posted:Maybe you're just drab and boring. That's not really a counterpoint. Cream_Filling posted:Yeah, the satire is that the justice system is based on the principle that it's more important to horribly punish criminals than it is to actually serve the public interest or protect the citizens. And this isn't satire so much as it is a premise.

Jedit posted:I used to say the quintessential Ennis book would be titled Perverted Superhero War Stories. Then he did exactly that in The Boys, and I was justified. Yep. There is a really decent thruline in the Boys but it's maybe like 18-24 issues of story.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Sure, although in that case it's worth noting that Dredd does lay a pretty vicious beating on Avon Barksdale. He does, but he's not like breaking his fingers and poo poo and getting off on killing the bad guy.

Exactly. Him looking on sternly with a dirty American flag behind him is more Dredd than him chimping out on somebody.

The first Saw is the worst one. The best one is probably the short film the first is based on. Anyway, to stay on topic, no Dredd 2 is probably a good thing.
