something must keep the guy in shoulderpads

  So I went to see Judge Dredd tonight.

Things I Liked:

• An impressive performance by Karl Urban's chin.
• Equally impressive performance by Lena Headey and Olivia Thirlby. 
• Female characters wearing sensible armour. Hell, just female characters.
• Realistic and gory violence, rather than guys just falling over. There is no kill like overkill.
• Best use of 3D glasses to display said gory and realistic violence yet seen. 

Things I Disliked:

• Psychic cop's lack of helmet totally an excuse to expose face of attractive blond woman.
• Failure to display face of attractive male Karl Urban.
• Motorcycle riding position horrendously uncomfortable.
• Million dollar reward for head of Dredd, divided between four and adjusted for inflation, would purchase maybe one sandwich.
• World consists entirely of a megacity in a desert. Lack of resources and raw materials (eg food, petrol, bullets, drugs (recreational/medicinal),  cool motorbike parts, and leather for Judge outfits) problematic if not impossible*. 

You have been judged :)

* Although I'm sure pretty much any writer could handwave it, given the chance.
