“If you were a fan of previous incarnations of Dick Tracy, then this is the film for you. If not, find another film to watch…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWarren Beatty does a decent enough job as Dick Tracy who battles the underworld. Warren also directed this film and did a good job.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enDick Tracy was always a great character complete with an unrivalled rogues gallery of villains (except for Batman). The villains are all here and kudos to the make-up department who made the bad guys totally hateful. The plot is also quite good as well and the colour is good too. I believe the film was shot in only six (or maybe seven) colours and the sets of the city are totally faithful to the original Dick Tracy comic strips.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eObviously, this film tried to emulate Batman but immitation is the sincerest form of flattery. This film is almost as good as Batman and certainly not deserving of the criticism it had when it first came out.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne more thing-Madonna as Breathless Mahoney. I donu0026#39;t know if a film like this suited Madonna but it was great to see her in it because she is beautiful and improves with age.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, a cracker of a film which I urge youngsters to see because they will enjoy it.”
