But really I agree that Anderson's powers, despite being prevalent in the comics, were kinda unnecessary in the movie. I won't say it felt shoehorned in but I will say that when the hot blonde said she didn't wear a helmet like Dredd because it "messed with her psychic abilities" and then he didn't go "that's pretty stupid" I rolled my eyes.

Her psychic powers played a key role in their escaping to live another day. I disagree - it was a mcguffin that didn't need to be in the film.

Don't get me wrong either, Dredd is an excellent action movie. I really had no idea why they threw in the psychic stuff though - why not just have her be a rookie and let the movie play out the same, mostly?

It was really cool how it was basically practical effect done with a special high frame rate camera.

Also do the unpredictable nature of the camera they often had to do piles of extra takes just to get the scene they wanted.

He did say "Bullet might mess with it more", sarcasm is Dredd's thing.

Oh, I guess I forgot that. It's been a while since I watched it. To the John Wick naysayers though:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-HSoOFdJ3s

I don't know how anyone can watch this scene and not think this movie is great. I especially like their use of color in the early parts of the scene/when Wick exits onto the dance floor. Although I was a tiny bit bothered by Wick being able to hit basically anyone with pinpoint accuracy except the one person he's trying to kill who has the magical power of ducking and weaving on his side.

im just kinda bored of fight scenes that are *mook waits politely for hero to finish with other mook before he runs towards hero with his arms held out rigid in front of him at waist level so the hero can grab his hands and do sweet kung fu moves* and john wick was kinda a repeat offender.
