Judges Shoot to Kill in New 'Dredd' Movie Images

I'm... sorry but that first picture makes this movie look like it had a budget of $20 and a tootsie roll pop.

Sure the last Judge Dredd movie sucked, but hey, hopefully this will do better. In fact, maybe I should've added this to my "Must see 2012 movies" list.

needs more naked Karl Urban

Thanks for the physical proof that some stuff just works better in comic form. Any cop wearing a helmet with an X covering his eyes would get laughed out of the room, even with the sincerest of frowns. Seriously, how can he see his crosshairs so he can shoot hoodlums like a good lil' fascist?

Also, the fact that Dredd's colleague isn't wearing one just makes it look dumber. So can she deflect bullets from her brain with her psychic powers?

While there was an awful lot not to like about the Stallone film (looking at you, Rob Schneider), I actually thought that in most cases they absolutely nailed the look of the comic. Sure, Dredd didn't have big green boots, but he had a big honkin' gold eagle on his shoulder, he Lawmaster was pretty awesome, and the Angel Gang looked pretty amazing.

And can we please stop the "Dredd never takes his helmet off!" nonsense, please? In the comic Dredd takes his helmet off several times (at one point he's shot in the head, and spent several issues helmetless, his head wrapped in bandages). His face is never shown, but it's not like the helmet is nailed on or anything.

As someone who hasn't got around to reading Dredd just yet and thus has no reason to argue about things like the exact specifications of his suit..... I think this looks pretty cool.

does Judge Anderson look stoned because she's psychic?

Hahahahah. He looks like Darth Helmet.

That helmet is too round and huge, period.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was a big Dredd fan in the 70's and 80's and I recall them explicitly stating that Mega CIty 1 had no death penalty. Plenty of people got killed while resisting arrest, sure, but the Judges never straight up executed someone the way Anderson seems to be doing there.

That said, Urban certainly seems to have the facial expression down pat.
