This movie made Dredd (2012) look like CRAP!!!


I'm sorry, SOMEONE had to make that statement.

Hardly. Both movies were awesome, each for different reasons.

APOLOGY accepted!

Agreed . the raid has better action scenes and storyline than Dredd.

reply

Both are good but I actually like Dredd better

I hated this movie. This movie was beyond boring. The action was too scripted. It was to the point it was anti-climatic. I felt like I was watching a karate demonstration, not fights. Far too rehearsed looking.

Give be Dredd all day every day.

THATS WHAT MARTIAL ARTS MOVIES ARE: highly choreographed....im not a big martial arts fan but this movie and the raid 2 rocked my socks off.....rama has to be one of the best cinematic creations of the last years... the raid 2 which is roughly 2 and a half hrs went by like 90 mins...not a single boring scene/moment! the raid blew my mind....sorry im highly enthusiastic about this movie...im not that way usually...but this movie highly deserves the recognition!


dredd was also excellent! one of the better movies of the reboot/remake era...

Movies are also full of acting, but ideally people in them aren't supposed to look like they are acting. The same goes for choreography in martial arts movies.

Mind you, this is more of a general statement, because the fight scenes in the raid totally rocked and were very convincing. But obvious staging and obvious choreography can ruin a martial arts movie for fans of the genre, the Tony Jaa movies are a good example of that. Nice acrobatics but everything looks like a stuntshow in a movie park.

Sure The Raid had some great fight sequences, but for me Dredd was a lot more entertaining and stylish, and it was great to see an independent action sci-fi movie. I expected The Raid to be awesome on the level of Kill Bill or something in terms of awesome martial arts sequences, so I was mildly disappointing.
