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

I hated this movie. This movie was beyond boring. The action was too scripted. It was to the point it was anti-climatic. I felt like I was watching a karate demonstration, not fights. Far too rehearsed looking.
Give be Dredd all day every day.

THATS WHAT MARTIAL ARTS MOVIES ARE: highly choreographed.im not a big martial arts fan but this movie and the raid 2 rocked my socks off..rama has to be one of the best cinematic creations of the last years the raid 2 which is roughly 2 and a half hrs went by like 90 minsnot a single boring scene/moment! the raid blew my mind.sorry im highly enthusiastic about this movieim not that way usuallybut this movie highly deserves the recognition!
dredd was also excellent! one of the better movies of the reboot/remake era

Movies are also full of acting, but ideally people in them aren't supposed to look like they are acting. The same goes for choreography in martial arts movies.
Mind you, this is more of a general statement, because the fight scenes in the raid totally rocked and were very convincing. But obvious staging and obvious choreography
can
ruin a martial arts movie for fans of the genre, the Tony Jaa movies are a good example of that. Nice acrobatics but everything looks like a stuntshow in a movie park. -

Sure
The Raid
had some great fight sequences, but for me
Dredd
was a lot more entertaining and stylish, and it was great to see an independent action sci-fi movie. I expected
The Raid
to be awesome on the level of
Kill Bill
or something in terms of awesome martial arts sequences, so I was mildly disappointing. -

I thoroughly enjoyed Dredd; we have the futuristic sci-fi premise, Karl Urban and Lena Headey, and it was in 3D. Call it racism or xenophobia if you like, but I had zero interest in a movie about an Indonesian drug bust.

I enjoyed Dredd a lot more than this movie
the action here was good, that being said, it was the only good thing about this movie
the action wasn't realistic at all though, laughable at times (the guy keeps fighting like superman with a piece of glass in his neck, really?)

I liked both Raid 1 and Dredd, imagine that.
Both had similar premises, but were different enough that you can appreciate both for their own merits. Dredd I felt like it had a bit more story, better characterization and better acting. While Raid had more intense and OMG type action scenes. Dredd also focused a bit more in introducing the audience to it's futuristic world while Raid kept it in a run down building in Indonesia.
