Loved Dredd. Like you said, absolutely a no BS movie. Just goes for it and scores big time. Plus....
I think they had to go that route based on how many who would watch the movie hadn't read the novel. If they'd been faithful it would have thrown too many people for a loop. It was weird enough reading it, can't imagine what it would have been like for someone walking into the movie cold.

The further you go into those sequels the worse they get but I love B movies so it's just fine for me. I enjoyed them.

Well.. it wasn't as good, I can agree. Still, since we're comparing 2 different mediums really, I didn't mind it that much. Some things that are perfectly said in one form don't translate too good to different ones. I'm one of those people that can, for example, enjoy both the Walking Dead comics and the tv show without ranting about how they differ but instead enjoying the differences. |

Thank you so much. I always felt like I'm the only one when people try to compare the books to either films or tv shows. I'm always harping about the fact that they exist within two different mediums. I think it would have been interesting to have something related to it or a little easter egg for diehard fans. I need to re-watch it myself because maybe there is an easter egg related to the squid that was overlooked.
