The only bad guy around here is you! (hides in corner). I personally found it one of the best action flicks of the summer (yes summer, I am from the UK and it came out 2 weeks ago).

I Can never take this guys reviews serious. He always seems to go against the grain for some publicity.

Oh, are you not familiar with ACTION MOVIES?

I hate bashing movie reviewers as much as anyone but when Kyle Smith tells you its 'rotten'. That usually means you should go see it.

who the hell comes to see Dredd for the narrative or story? I went and saw it to witness bad guys getting annihilated in the dozens with some of the most badass one liners.

So you're another of those eggheads who goes into every single movie, regardless of whatever genre it may be, expecting some grandiose character study, something with outrageously political undertones, or social satire. Then you end up disappointed when it turns not all movies are going to be like that.

I'm pretty sure I've enjoyed every movie he's ever given a "rotten" rating to. He's a hipster reviewer in my opinion.

I normally don't comment on this type of stuff, but I found it interesting that this film was basically being recommended universally by critics until the release of all the 'top critics' reviews today. Now maybe the film isn't very good-I have yet to see it-but it is interesting that there's such a huge split between those considered to be the higher tier-if that's what top critic is supposed to mean-critics and the rest of the bunch. Is it because they are going into it with a preconceived notion that the film is going to be poor? Not criticizing, but truly asking if this may be the case, since there is such a wide split in particular among the reviewers on this film.

And? I don't see a problem.

Apparently NPR gave it 95% and that's good enough for me. As a lifelong Dredd fan, I give it 100%

Ultimately, it comes down to taste, something in which I am convinced that this "reviewer" has none of, as well as, any real understanding of film; a deduction I came to while reading his past reviews on this site. Why do you think they rarely let him review the larger films, most of what they place him on are second tier titles? He's a throw-away.

Kyle...you know there is a difference between a film and movie right?

This must have been your first job out of the small town you're originally from.

"YES!! "Dredd" opens with a Thudd, grosses $6.3 mil, rendering sequel unlikely."

This is a direct quote from his Twitter account. He really is just a piece of shit, isn't he?

Smith's website uses the quote:
?There?s little point in writing if you can?t annoy somebody.?- Kingsley Amis

So essentially, good old Kyle is always writing his negative reviews just to annoy us, rather than actually critique movies. Thus, the drop in Dredd ratings from d#$C's like him.

Hey Kyle, I'm sure that Amis would have also told you that annoying someone is not the only thing writing should do. It says a lot that you get paid to do so...by the NY Post no less. Get a life.
