Jaron Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Just finished watching Dick Tracy on digital cable. I enjoy this movie and think it is comparable or even better than many of the comic book movies coming out each year. Just wondering what some fellow Extremers think about this movie...

Larry Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 It had my favorite vocalist, Mandy Patinkin, as a barroom piano player named 88 Keys. He sang in the movie. It was a duet with Madonna. :puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burger35 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 If your talking about Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy, I loved it. Madonna was great. :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaron Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 If your talking about Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy, I loved it. Madonna was great. :applause: Yeah, thats the one I'm talking about. I hadn't seen it since around the time it first came out, so I was surprised at all the big names that were in it. Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, James Caan (although he was in it for all of 2 minutes), and obviously Beatty and Madonna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 It was pretty good. Nothing spectacular imho, but having read the comic growing up, felt the look and feel of the movie did it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 i agree i thought it was pretty good. i remember there was a HUUUUUUGE hypefest when it came out and probably turned alot of people off or made them expect so much more. when i saw it a few months ago i was expecting nothing (and procrastinating) and i thought it was pretty entertaining.

Just that it's comparable, if not better, than most of the comic book style movies that have been made since it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rictus58 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 This all just reminds me of one of the best scenes from the simpsons. The episode is called "hurricane neddy." They have a flashback to Ned Flanders as an angry little boy.... Little Ned: [barging in] "Whee! I'm Dick Tracy! [hitting the other kids] Bang! Take that Pruneface! Now I'm Pruneface, take that Dick Tracy! Now I'm Prune Tracy, take that Dick..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 It was a very underrated and entertaining movie. People did not "get" it at the time. I think people have forgetten how bizarre, revolutionary and totally badass the early Dick Tracy comic strip was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It entertained me when I was a kid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I always have enjoyed that one. One interesting note, they used the four colors used in comic book coloring from the old days. Meaning, every shade of red in the movie is the exact same shade, etc.. if the color couldn't be made thru the original four color process, it was discarded. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
