Worst comic book movie

It was great until then (which downgraded it to just being good/decent.)
Does anyone know what happened? Did they run out of budget?

They actually added stuff. The chase on the lawmaster bikes for instance was beefed up considerably late in the game. They added to the budget in the end! But it was a troublesome shoot... Danny Cannon allegedly had a much harder "R" rated cut (the shoot out with the "clones" was supposedly more messy) but that was lost.

Considering the cult of Dredd, I am surprised that Disney (Buena Vista) haven't released a slightly better DVD version in all these years (at least a version that was 16x9 enhanced!).

I have a soft spot for the 1995 movie. Dredd for me, as a real interpretation on the comic books (and I remember the 2000 AD days when I was a kid...) hasn't happened, but this'll do until someone has the balls to do it properly.
