Critic Reviews

  • Claudia Puig, USA Today

    While not for the squeamish, Dredd 3D is an effectively gritty B movie accentuated by stylish visuals and irreverent humor.

  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

    We have seen this future. And not only does it not work - it no longer even surprises.

  • Frank Lovece, Newsday

    Proves a surprisingly unimaginative cops vs. drug lord story, complete with the weathered veteran forced to take a rookie under his wing.

  • Kyle Smith, New York Post

    My notes are as follows: "Shoot bad guy." "Shoot bad guy." "Shoot bad guy."

  • Sean O'Connell, Washington Post

    This, finally, is the Dredd movie comic book readers have been anticipating.

    Hollywood takes a second stab at bringing the faceless, fascistic law giver to the big screen after Sylvester Stallone's badly misjudged outing in 1995. In fact the previous attempt wasn't a complete failure; it captured the feel of the comic strip quite well, with some… More

    I can barely remember the first Dredd film with Stallone in it. This felt more violent and gritty, which is what they aimed for. The action is ok and it has a slick visual style to it, it just felt a bit too simple in terms of plot for a big film. It's very similar to The Raid in… More

    "Dredd" was a pleasant surprise. The plot is a rip off of "Raid: Redemption," but I still loved every second of it. Travis directs a fast-paced, fun action movie, which doesn't require much thinking on the part of the viewer. You know what you're getting… More
