Dick Tracy is skillfully mounted, generating an optical wonderland for the viewer, with all sorts of details and photographic vibrancy to study when the film takes off on the wings of a tune.

So deliberately, carefully shallow, so conceptually audacious; and yes, so unearthly beautiful in every last frame.

...an impressively conceived piece of work that has just as much to offer adults as it does children...

Fails to be a compelling watch.

This has an appealing two-dimensional comic-book look, but lacks the vision to go with it, not to mention an interesting hero or a feeling for action.

"Dick Tracy" isn't in the top tier of comic-book adaptations, but ingenuous art direction and set decoration and some crazy make-up jobs create a film that's still a delight to watch.

A spectacular movie whose technical achievements -- notably the sharp editing -- will surely provide a gauge by which subsequent comic strip films are judged.

Beatty and his team of collaborators have heightened the vibrantly tawdry urban night world of Chester Gould's classic comic strip.

A waste of time and money.

Though it looks ravishing, Warren Beatty's longtime pet project is a curiously remote, uninvolving film.

Summer hasn't officially arrived yet, but it's unlikely to offer a big-budget commercial movie as thoroughly entertaining as this stylish real-life cartoon.

The film moves at a chug when it should put the pedal to the floor.
