This is kinda awesome. It's a great send-up of gangster films while also remaining true to its comic roots, and this is pulled off by the wonderfully made-up characters, the beautiful designs, the stylish direction, and the over-the-top performances. There are... Full review

The whole film looks good enough to eat.
Indeed, there's something almost fetishistic about Dick Tracy's gorgeous visual design.
Dick Tracy is less a movie than a dazzling slide show.
Dick Tracy is an honest effort but finally a bit of a folly.

But, in scaling the heights of self- conscious Pop Art, Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy falls flat on its colorfully painted face.
Cut down to size on video, Dick Tracy is finally no more than kids' stuff: The plot's too simple-minded for anyone with an attention span, the colors are daycare-center bright, and the best performance is by a child.
