What a way to bring comics to the big screen! "Dick Tracy" low-key might be one of the best comic book adaptaions of all time. The atmosphere of the original visual novel was preserved to the utmost degree - it truly felt like reading a noir comic book. The makeup alone is on legendary level.
However, the movie is still just an adaptaion of a comic book. Perhaps, the director went a little too far with making the movie as close to the source material as possible. It lacks the depth a good movie should have and sometimes feels too silly. Nonetheless, I think it should be considered a classic because it paved the way for many more great comic book adaptations that would come in the future.
