About Dick Tracy

I remember watching this as a kid and really liking it. I even had all the toys. I wore my VHS copy of it out. It's been probably 20 years since I've seen it, but in all these years I always hear people talking negative about it. Calling it cheesy and had horrible acting. I've kind of chalked it up to just childhood nostalgia and never really went and tried watching it again. Last night I saw it on Tubi and put it on.....I still love it! It feels like a comic book. The look and atmosphere is a complete throwback to comic books. Sure some of the dialogue is cheesy, but I mean nothing feels out of place for something set in the 40s. Look at all the old "I'm going to get you copper" mobster films of way back, it hit on those so well. Now I'm older and appreciate different types of things in movies, I think it's one of the best homage to older films ever made.The question I have is why has this movie gotten kind of a bad rap, when Sin City was so loved? Sin City is just a more adult style, but the styles are so similar. To me Sin City is the same concept, just more the 70s era instead of the 40s. I think both movies knocked it out of the park, but one is praised, while the other just kind of got left in time. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/BoPcEbZ
