Basically, Dredd is an unofficial remake. It has the same plot and pretty much the same devices (the first scene with the main character gearing up before the mission, the big bad executing his competitors in cold blood, the twist involving corrupt cops), and both of them involve creative use of slo-mo.
I liked The Raid better, I found it to be better written and it was really suspenseful since you could feel the cops in this one were low on ammo, cut off from civilization and desperate to survive. -

I saw Dredd first and liked it. I saw this second and LOVED it.

I thought Dredd was just another action film with very little I have seen before. I actually cared about the lead in The Raid. whereas the character of Judge Dredd I found way over the top. I honestly couldn't care about him

Both are great movies. There is no way that either is the rip off of the other (as many idiots keep claiming)
This is an AMAZING martial arts movie, where Dredd is an amazing comic book adaptation. Dredd isn't much for h2h, except when he has to. That said, Dredd could have solo'd this building himself, he's just that badass
Though the main character in this movie was beep incredible, his brother was pretty good as well and the guy who played the bad guy at the end (or his brother? beep can't remember) ONE of them is a former bodyguard for the president of their country. The equivilent of ex special forces/current Secret Service, that type of beep He also trained some of the best of the best for their military so we got to see some really amazin fight choreography.
The Raid was definitely the more suspenseful movie. As I was positive Judge Dredd wouldn't die and pretty sure his partner wouldn't die. In this it felt more like an "all bets are off" type of movie.
I think a fan of one would definitely love the other, all this to say. -

I personally loved both films. The basic concept is the same, but aside from that, they are both very different films. I would say that yes, you would like this movie. But I must recommend that you watch the original indonesian version with the english subtitles instead of watching the dubbed over version, since the indonesian actors gave in great performances.
