I'm sorry, SOMEONE had to make that statement.

No offense, but the script for 2012's "Dredd" was written waaaay before the completion of "The Raid" (BTW, a solid 8/10 iMDB rating for me - "Dredd" has less, but for reasons which do not include the way action scenes are handed).
The fact is : they don't talk about the same thing. And no one can imagine Dredd do martial arts stuff at this rate (or you do not know "Dredd" - the comics).
Peace. -

Don't really see why I would need to pick one or the other, they're totally different flicks with way different stylesone is essentially a flashy martial arts action flick and the other is an interpretation of a futuristic comic book characterit's kind of like comparing The X-Files to Law & Order because both happen to have law enforcement involved
Both Dredd and The Raid were bloody awesome in my opinion

^^This. Both are very similar being in a locked place, people under the orders of the kingpin to take out the cops but aside from the fight scenes, they're quite different. I still enjoyed both films quite a bit. Dredd is more action film, while The Raid is more of martial arts/action film, both are very badass though, I think TRR had more "HOLY SH*T" moments especially with their fight scenes.

Dredd 3d was so much better than this film. This was unfortunately cheap looking and the cgi was so attrocious it completely ruined any cool action. Dredd had a unique style and visuals, this was just repetitive and plain with a stupid plot in which no-one gets injured even after having their head pounded into the floor 5 times in a row. It was entertaining enough, but to say it is better than Dredd 3d like it is some obvious fact is just ludicrous. This is honestly an incredibly over-rated film, 7.6 is ridiculous. Dredd had interesting characters, every character in the raid was boring, even the insane villain managed to be uninteresting.
