I rather hate the final boss battle trope. And in Dredd I think it's realistic; without henchmen to do their bidding, villains are not much of a problem.
Was there anything epic about the end of Hitler, Saddam or Bin Laden? No, they're all tragic stories of the downfall of once powerful people who resort to hiding before their pathetic demise.
Also the final lack of closure is in line with the universe: just another shitty day in a pointless battle against the rising chaos of a collapsing society.
I like this movie precisely because it dares to do its own thing and it's not yet another by-the-numbers hollywood action blockbuster.
Dredd's second job as a drag queen.

Are you familiar with Google though?
They were busy rehearsing their growls and learning that shitty language of theirs; gotta take a lot of time I guess.
That's not what suspension of disbelief is. It means you as a viewer accept the movie's premise; that there's such a thing as vampires, or magic or other dimensions. The following details though, have to believably fit into the rest. Such as there's no way a newcomer into a small town, unwashed and unlikable, somehow manages to sneak around people and steal a whole pile of phones.
