Dick Tracy or Sin City?
Dick Tracy or Sin City?
shareSin City, easily.
shareDepends on what you're looking for. Sin City if you want excessively stylized violence that was made entirely by green screens. Dick Tracy if you want an old-fashioned style comic movie with a lot of creative sets and good props.
I would say Sin City has the edge by dialouge, but it's overpowered by the fact that almost no effort was put in besides the usual green screen shlick. Dick Tracy didn't overpower itself by CGI, and thank god for it, but it still needs work on some characters being developed. Nevertheless, I love them the way they are.
I wonder how 300 is gonna look like.

I couldn't agree more. I am not particaly into all of these dark versions of comic books today, for they simply aren't any fun. I know I most likely reflect a minority here, but it's how I feel. This goes for the movie counterparts as well. I'd take Dick Tracy any day of the week over Sin City.

OK, so what's the speed of dark?
Sin City is a dark comic, hence the dark film.
shareI think I might pick Sin City cause I like the fact that it's pretty much three stories, but Dick Tracy is very good too, and I put them both in my top 10 comic book movies of all time.

shareI actually like dark versions of comic books BUT it gets tiring after a while & just OLD! Still, Spiderman was never really dark you know, & the Burton Dark Batman, still had a very light-hearted feel to it. Superman, as well as Superman Returns didn't embody this darkness as well.

This.
Personally I prefer Dick Tracy but that's just me. share
Honestly, I would like to see Robert Rodriguez and Sin City creator, Frank Miller do their own graphic, colorful version of Dick Tracy, possibly with Clive Owen as the lead.

i agree this is the way dick tracy shood have been made in the first place.
shareNO WAY! I like this version just fine & Pacino was a HOOT to watch! This should never be made, stands up just fine as it is! It will last longer than most of these CGI movies we have nowadays!

I agree, the Warren Beatty, Al Pacino version was great, but it was too colorful and it was Disney, so the mob violence was at a bare minimum. Besides, Warren Beatty was Warren Beatty, Dick Tracy was one gruff-looking/acting detective with a bad attitude. Beatty played him too calm and Richard Gere-like. Pacino was great as always, but he was offered the chance to do his own make-up, therefore, creating a Big Boy of his own image. In the comics, Big Boy was a Tony Soprano-looking dude: Fat and always chomping a cigar. Pacino looked like a cross between an old prune and a rat. Madonna as the Blank was a good twist to THAT plot of THAT movie, but once again, in the comics, the Blank was a MAN who in a conflict with the mob, had his whole face taken off, becoming much like a one man vigilante killer. Of course, Madonna's character could've possibly known about this man's existence after he was possibly KILLED, and decided to pass herself off as him. That's cool, i guess. Don't get me wrong, i liked this version as a kid and even now, but if Tarantino or Rodriguez did it Sin City style, it would be a flawless, violent gangster movie with a lot of shoot em' up gore. I'd love to see THEIR take on creating a Dick Tracy character, as well as a Big Boy, Flattop or Pruneface.
