Hes very attractive tho and I think he puts in a lot of energy to immersing himself in the material even if the end result comes across as a little corny or over the top.

I didn't realize that he was like half a dozen distinct, memorable characters over the years, so he's at least that good.

Dredd should have had a couple sequels...

Also, this.

He's a kinda important character in Lord of the Rings, Riddick, Thor, a major one in the Star Trek reboot, and is always solid

He was so good at channeling DeForest Kelley that Nimoy was reduced to tears when he saw the film, being reminded of his friend.

Can someone for the life of me explain why people loved Dredd so much? I liked the movie and Karkl Urban, but people act like it's some unappreciated masterpiece. I'm not really sure if it even beats Fury Road.

I think you might be overstating that. People like Dredd because its a great action film that adapted the comic really well. The slow mo stuff was cool and Dredd was a bad ass the whole time.

It was a great movie that deserved more success than it got. I've never seen anyone call it a masterpiece but it was a definitely a great action movie.

No one's saying it's better than Fury Road, which by the way, also deserved some sequels.

Dredd was a great film and would have had some sequels with great potential and higher budgets had it been more financially successful. Unfortunately, it did not receive the attention it deserved

I mean, Fury Road is amazing so that's an odd comparison. It was nominated for movie of the year even. But Dredd was an underdog and surprisingly good so it was kinda a shock.

There's the reasons several other people have already stated + the fact that we already had one terrible Dredd movie that the Urban film more than made up for.

The only thing of his I've seen that I didn't like was this movie called Hangman, and it wasn't even so much his acting. It was Al Pacino hamming it up next to him and making bad writing worse.

Also surprised no one mention Caesar in Xena

he's better in some roles than others, but he certainly isn't anything amazing and he's definitely not nearly as charismatic as the stars around him

but, he's also not bad and his filmography is pretty nice so far so i think he's still doing it. he might get one of those crazy good oscar roles in the future and change everything, i still think it's possible, but he'll have to keep working hard at it imo.

Urban is pretty decent as an actor. Not amazing but decent. He's definitely not a bad actor and I think he is definitely above average but I wouldn't put him in my top 10.

Star Trek is the movie I first noticed he cant act.

He doesnt feel like hes in the same movie as the other actors. Hes so fucking bad.
