Storyline Karl Urban The no holds barred graphic violence (0 more)

What can I say about this incredible tv show.Based on the comic book series this series does not hold back on the violence and language (dont think I've ever seen the C word used so much in a TV show) and other extreme stuff that you would never associate with superheroes.

I wont give much away because people may still be watching it or havent started it yet but it's one hell of show that everybody needs to see.

I am the law!!

Forget the 1995 Sylvester Stallone film; this is how Dredd should be done.

This time around Karl Urban takes on the lead role of the eponymous Judge Dredd - even keeping his helmet on the entire way through - who gets trapped in a high rise building in Mega City One as he is assessing a Rookie with psychic abilities: a building in which Lena Headey's ruthless Ma-Ma is producing a new drug called Slo-Mo and in which she has members of her gang hunting Dredd and his Rookie.

It is fun (2 more)

The cast gets their characters so very right, especially Karl Urban as bones

Michael Giacchino delivers a good score

I just don't like the aesthetic of the reboots. It doesn't look like Star Trek to me and the new Enterprise is honestly kind of ugly (3 more)

The plot is very contrived

Shaky cam

Not much going on thematically, mostly feels like a dumb actioner

Torn on this as a lifelong Trekkie

I can certainly understand why people enjoy this, but it just doesn't feel like Trek to me. Still it is enjoyable in its own way.

It doesn't get much better than The Raid "Redemption" and its sequel, The Raid 2 in terms of non-stop action, but still an interesting plot. You will be glued to your seat from the word go as you not only try and figure out where the story is going, but also enjoy the extremely impressive, realistic choreography. Also, given the indoor, stifling sets, it makes the action that much better.

It kind of reminded me of the new "Dredd" film with Karl Urban in plot, but that is not a complaint.

Highly recommended for action film fans.
