BENGHAZI 2 posted:Dredd was in production for a while before that, it's literally two movies coming to the same idea independently Turns out residential high rises are incredibly similar anywhere you go, and it's not really "ripping them off" when you have guys shooting down at each other from other floors.

They have obvious similarities as films, and Dredd has a lot of action scenes, but I think most of the appeal of Dredd comes from the construction of the recognizable yet dystopian world of MegaCity One and the various characters who inhabit that world. It's more like Robocop in that sense - yeah there are fun moments of gore and violence, but this is mediated by the satirical presentation of the larger society. I think that The Raid is less ambitious. It's more like a hokey musical whose plot and characters are mostly a contrivance for song and dance numbers, except instead of songs and dances you have elaborate martial arts set pieces.

The Raid has a very similar theme of government & police corruption, but there's never a question that the protagonist is in the right and doing what needs to be done.

I think part of that is that he spends the entire move on the backfoot in a way that dredd never does, hes constantly being stripped of his tools and armor until he's just shy of an animal Also you know the whole thing where he got fuckin swindled into doing this in the first place

i cant hate thirty rock that much because it was at least liberalism with jokes and self awareness even at its very worst thirty rock never gets close to modern family and late parks and recreation in terms of pretending like its characters arent repugnant shitheads because they have passable political opinions
