Like most SF
the star is the universe, not the characters. Dredd is not interesting in himself, but we got to see glimpses of the Mega-City and snippets of its history etc. That was the real hook I think.

Good point, in himself he really wasn't that interesting, the world he policed and all the mad shit within it was he real hook,
Seeing it that way explains why it must be fucking hard to bring it to the big screen as in the orginal strip he really isn't the main focus of most of the stories, all the robots, flying cars, belly wheels, Boing and block wars were.
He was almost a robot.
