This has an appealing two-dimensional comic-book look, but lacks the vision to go with it, not to mention an interesting hero or a feeling for action.

Top CriticThis is a movie in which every frame contains some kind of artificial effect. An entire world has been built here, away from the daylight and the realism of ordinary city streets.

On the whole Dick Tracy is a lot of fun, and fans of the offbeat may embrace it as a unique film amid a sea of movies that seem cloned from each other.

A colorful and mostly entertaining little experiment.

Makes me mad just thinking about it.

Lame and tedious comic book film. Try THE SHADOW or THE ROCKETEER instead.

The movie may lack unified conception, but it's supremely entertaining due to sumptuous production, lavish imagery and opulent costumes, and some terrific cameo appearances, such as Al Pacino.

Less a comic book movie than a comic strip movie, reveling in the primary colors of the Sunday morning paper.

colorful fune attuned to the spirit of the comic strip; Pacino is lots of fun.

08/05/03
This is a unique movie experience, well conceived and executed.
