In other words, now that it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/24016931\/superhero-fatigue-movie-flops-2023-mcu-dceu\">isn\u2019t at its peak cultural powers<\/a>, the MCU is desperate to prove that it can be more than just shiny superheroes sarcastically saving the day. But now that <em>Dredd <\/em>is on Max, it\u2019s a great time to remind yourself of how great a truly grimy, R-rated superhero movie can be, and why Disney will never have the guts to pull it off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Dredd<\/em> became a cult classic almost immediately after its 2012 release, and it\u2019s easy to see why. The movie follows Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) as he tries to lay down the law in the futuristic hellscape known as Mega-City One. One day, Dredd gets stuck showing around a rookie Judge candidate (Olivia Thirlby), who happens to be a mutant with psychic powers, when he is suddenly tasked with investigating a homicide at the Peach Trees apartment building. The massive, 200-story building turns out to be the home of the horrific Ma-Ma Clan, and Dredd and his trainee have to wage a bloody fight to the top of the tower to take Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her drug-dealing goons out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Written and <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/alex-garland-directed-dredd-says-karl-urban\/\">apparently directed<\/a> by <em>Ex Machina<\/em>\u2019s Alex Garland (though Pete Travis gets the official director\u2019s credit), the first thing that stands out about <em>Dredd <\/em>is the effectiveness and effortlessness of its world-building. An opening voiceover gives us all the setup we need about Mega-City: Its streets are filled with horrible violence, and the Judges are the equally violent protectors of those streets. From there, the movie instantly descends into grisly B-movie action, gnarly kills, and fittingly disgusting sets, which all perfectly set the vibe for the movie\u2019s comic book world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Every part of <em>Dredd <\/em>feels finely tuned around its singular tone. The hallways of the Peach Trees are gross, the paint-chipped walls are lined with trash, and the regular civilians look the other way as soon as gang members darken their doors. The whole movie is dirty in an over-the-top way that helps perfectly set the stage for a world that asks the Judges to be ultra-violent and incredibly scary, in comical metal masks while they wander the streets, ready to shoot anyone that looks at them wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dredd-now-on-max-is-the-violent-superhero-thriller-the-mcu-wishes-it-could-make-1.jpg\" alt=\"Olivia Thirlby as a Judge walking around a corridor with a sub-machine gun while not wearing a helmet from Dredd\" title=\"Olivia Thirlby as a Judge walking around a corridor with a sub-machine gun while not wearing a helmet from Dredd\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: Joe Alblas\/Lionsgate via Everett Collection\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">It\u2019s an objectively silly and ridiculous premise, but where <em>Dredd <\/em>separates itself from the MCU\u2019s recent offerings is by never winking once at itself. Marvel movies, especially over the last few years, have seemed ashamed of the comic books they\u2019re based on, constantly joking about the costumes or the superhero names of characters in a desperate bid to seem cool rather than dorky. But <em>Dredd<\/em> isn\u2019t embarrassed to be a Judge Dredd movie \u2014 it revels in it. Garland never lets the movie sink to the level of making sarcastic jokes about itself, because it\u2019s clear he wants you to get invested in the grit and grime of the world he\u2019s creating on screen. He knows the whole premise is silly, and knows that taking that silliness seriously is part of the fun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Unsurprisingly, it\u2019s when the shooting starts that <em>Dredd <\/em>really gets great. One thing that\u2019s immediately obvious, and truly wonderful, about <em>Dredd<\/em>\u2019s gunfights is that they were clearly made in a pre-<em>John Wick<\/em> world, drawing its influences from a number of places instead of just the hot new action style on the block. You\u2019ll never catch me saying a bad word about John Wick, but his cinematic imitators are cheap and they\u2019re everywhere. Including Marvel properties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Netflix\u2019s <em>Daredevil<\/em> premiered the year after the original <em>John Wick<\/em>, and it\u2019s full of the buttery-smooth, balletic action that Keanu Reeves, Chad Stahelski, and David Leitch made famous. It\u2019s undeniably excellent when done right, but when done wrong, or used too much, it becomes frictionless and bland. The hits lose their impact and the melees lose their danger. It stops feeling like a frenzied brawl, and more like a series of guys who are scripted to be slightly less tough than our hero. Netflix\u2019s <em>Daredevil <\/em>drew way more than its fair share of action from this particular well. While we don\u2019t know just yet whether or not <em>Daredevil: Born Again<\/em> will take this same approach to its fights, it seems like a pretty safe guess, considering the legacy of the original show.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dredd-now-on-max-is-the-violent-superhero-thriller-the-mcu-wishes-it-could-make-2.jpg\" alt=\"A Judge in all black armor and a helmet walks forward with his gun raised and bodies around him in Dredd\" title=\"A Judge in all black armor and a helmet walks forward with his gun raised and bodies around him in Dredd\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: Ilze Kitshoff\/Lionsgate via Everett Collection\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Dredd<\/em>, by comparison, is more like an action buffet. There are gunfights that end in a flash because Dredd\u2019s just that good, but there are also brutal hand-to-hand fights, shootouts that drag on long enough to turn the set into Swiss cheese, and plenty of slow-motion kills of all varieties. It\u2019s not exactly fair to say that Dredd or his partner Anderson really ever feel like they\u2019re in danger, but watching them dispatch their foes in a hundred different, equally bloody ways keeps the action interesting and fresh in a way that\u2019s hard to find in comic book movies these days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">None of this is to say that every comic book movie needs to be <em>Dredd<\/em>. That absolutely shouldn\u2019t happen. But if Disney\u2019s really committed to upping the bloodshed and nastiness of the MCU and proving it can make superhero movies for the true actionheads in the audience, then it could do a whole lot worse than <em>Dredd<\/em>. And if you\u2019re anxiously awaiting<em> Daredevil: Born Again<\/em>, in hopes that it could reveal a darker, grimier corner of the MCU, do yourself a favor and watch <em>Dredd <\/em>while you wait.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Dredd <em>is streaming on Max, and is also available for digital rental\/purchase on Amazon and Apple TV.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/action\/517431\/dredd-violent-superhero-movie-thriller-max-mcu-watch-streaming\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve heard this recently, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting darker.
