Dick Tracy or Sin City?

Sin City hands down!

What also hurts Dick Tracy (and this is MY own opinion)...Warren Beatty!! He's as delightful in the role as Kevin Costner is in....pretty much EVERYTHING!

I personally love Dick Tracy much more. It's a much more entertaining and creative film, with an A++ cast, impeccable make-up and a great story.

"And" not "or". They are both honest tributes to their source material.

Sin City, I was never a fan of Dick Tracy.

Who the hell knows who freaking Dick Tracy is any more?

Who does Madonna dick? She dicks Tracy.

Two-way wrist radio? Two-way wrist TV? How quaint.

Sin City, on the other hand, is timeless.

And my friend’s big band, The White Heat Swing Orchestra, played the music for the Tracy soundtrack.

Sin City, easily. Dick Tracy has a lot going for it, but like a lot of comic-book films of its time, far too much emphasis is placed on its look and A-list cast and not enough on story. Without a mobile device on hand, can anyone give a succinct plot summary of this movie?

Sin City.

Who does Madonna dick? Madonna dicks Tracy.

Dick Tracy...

What a cast in a film that was supposed to be the next "Batman".

The blockbuster of 1990?

...Beatty
...Pacino
...Hoffman
...Dick Van Dyke
...Madonna
...James Cann
...Paul Sorvino
...Kathy Bates
...Charles Durning
...Mandy Patinkin

This was going to be the most biggest film of decade.

And long before "Sin City"...

All those weird colors, costumes and sets.

Disney took a gamble and it failed...

All those Dick Tracy toys on eBay!

But it was one of the biggest films of 1990!
