Dredd. Karl Urban absolutely nailed that role, and all without ever showing the top half of his face.

Sadly Dredd didn’t make enough money to recoup their production costs, while it was in theaters. It’s been estimated that Dredd made around $20 million in the Home Market. This means how many DVD and Blu-ray sales they made. I wasn’t able to find any info on streaming numbers unfortunately.

I still hold out hope that a sequel is made and released before the end of the decade.

If Dredd is the movie I’m thinking of, I would assume VHS sales outpaced both Bluray and dvd sales combined! Didn’t that movie come out in 1995?

That was Judge Dredd. They’re talking about the remake, I think.

I might be in the minority but Chappie was a really good movie. It’s a real bummer Die Antword were so horrible to work with that the director kinda gave up on it.

I never understood why they thought it would be a good idea to have them in it. It’s not like they are known well enough to have a huge pull

I actually watched the movie because of them.
Stumbled upon the band on youtube, and I’d never heard anything like it before.

Plus, their music videos are fucking sick!

I saw Chappie for the first time last week and was moderately devastated to find out there isn’t going to be sequels. It had so much style, humor and personality!

Yeah, but before the director made several more movies that were all bad. I don’t know how he keeps getting work.

It became a parody of Godzilla movies for no real reason. And it came out of nowhere. I call it the movies 4th act.

Jurassic World is a guilty pleasure of mine.
It’s good enough to grip you and at the same time so predictable and full of clichés it’s also funny.
Plus, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are both hot as hell.

I really don’t get the hate for the second two.

There was a bit more to the story and required paying attention. The second two had more action that’s wasn’t directly related to the story but was still good.

As much as I tried to like 4 it was crap.

You call it a trilogy because you reject the fourth one

I call it trilogy because I reject the first one

We are not the same

Jokes aside, I would call 2&3 a long movie, which makes it a trilogy again. One mistake is to see them as separate

The thing is that “excellent” is something they are not… Look I enjoyed the movies too, they can be quite fun. Some aspects are great, the action and stunt work is in my opinion flawless for the time. Some other things were great too and some others not so much. But in general, really they are not good movies if we try to be a bit neutral, and at the very least they can’t follow the complexity of the theme from the first movie while making it look so simple like that one did. It may just be the case of standing too close to the sun, the movies as part of the trilogy just can’t compare. So people have a feeling of rejection to them. And probably the one thing people find it tough to come to grips with is the fact that the first movie had great action, that helped the movie go forward, while the others just seem to have random action scenes that are just not part of the story. It’s just about how they are added into the story.

But don’t let that bother you, enjoy the movies, I still do, they are just not the masterpieces the first one was.

And no, its not about wanting the first one again, in essence, I wish the movies would have managed to expand the story in a refreshing way like the Animatrix did. But they just fall flat instead, simple mindless fun that kinda finish the storyline quite OK for me.

Now the fourth part… That was brilliant, a brilliant crap, but brilliant nonetheless. If my guess is not wrong, it was a great middle finger to the movie execs that wanted to squeeze more money out of the movies.

There was a script for one but Alan Rickman passed away (😭😭😭) and it got shelved. There are always rumors circling about still but nothing concrete.
