It's not really an appropriate comparison though, because the Stallone film was ****ing terrible - it BEGGED for a remake.
This?
Nah..

Also DREDD is very HQ in it's simplicity and didn't tried to mutate the character into something completely different.
On the contrary, it did source material justice through modern vision.

Judging by the responses in this thread, this film could be pure gold and it still wouldn't make a difference. Tough crowd.
Good or bad, it's not going to take away from the original. The first was/is a classic and one of my favorite films. I just find it odd how jaded and ugly people are being about this remake that spins the story in a different light. I thought the recent Dredd was going to suck *****, if you look back in the thread, I think I'm knocking it for the "3D" in it's title alone. After I saw it though, I loved it. I guess I just don't get predetermined hate, even from the folks that feel "it shouldn't be made". If anything, atleast this movie makes this year a Robocop year and lets the original bask in the limelight with new stuff, especially merchandising..
Nice to see someone other than the usual suspects hating on an upcoming movie for ****s and giggles

I'm not a hater - I think the Blu-Rays will make excellent drink coasters.

Not comparing it in terms of "original" vs. "remake". I'm comparing it in terms of expectations and out come. I thought Dredd was going to blow, not because of the Stallone movie, but because of how it looked, 3D and other superficial things.
Look, I'm against the whole remaking mentality as much as the next guy, but today, remakes are inevitable. If it's going to happen and it's going to happen to one of my favorite films of all time, why not have something positive come out of it. If it's bad and that typical Hollywood schlock, I'll rip it to no end. But so far? Two weeks before it's released? I'm seeing and hearing good things. Great things? No, but enough to see that some of the decisions behind this are more than a cash grab. Sounds to me like this guy is making a sincere attempt at expanding on the things Verhoeven saw almost 27 years ago and applying them to real world situations (the drone problem). Sure, we could say the original delves into that, it does but I don't see what's wrong with a nice compliment that maybe gives the original a couple more exclamation points or at the very least, gets people into the original that wouldn't have normally seen it other wise.

Christ DiFabio, even your weaker arguments/debate make perfect sense.

Yeah, fair enough dude.
I should've also mentioned in my previous post, that apart from initially thinking that Karl Urban was a stupid choice for Dredd, I was liking what was being revealed - as things to do with that film progressed. It looked like it was going to be pretty solid - & intense. I was on board regardless of my reservations with Urban, & typically.. it didn't quite get the fanfare it DESERVED in the end.
I guess - while remakes are of course inevitable, RubberSchlepp just takes the cake. The first one said it all - it was a stand alone - one off, slab of gold. Them doing it at all, just seems like their whole selling point is - "..but this is a new one.."
So what.
People WILL forget this movie.

This would have been a better movie than RubberCop.

I own my house.You should try it. You'll love it better than your mom's basement.
Your house would fit in my garage. And my car is worth more than your house

I dunno about that; property goes up in value. I rather have a house than a fancy car that I'm going to stress about and then will eventually get vandalized by haters.

Try again. I live in Cali, you live in Cannuckleheadland. My property's likely worth more than the entirety of your possessions.
Besides, isn't there a Sideshow product thread you should be in whining about how much you hate their products, their customer service and how someone should burn their business down?

That's an Irish gypsy horse race, and by the looks of it they're getting busted. I hate that I know that from having watched some of that crap on cable. lol
