Lots of fun, and plenty of action

When this movie came out it was a great comic movie to see. Based on the success of Batman, there were a number of studios trying to find the next big movie, and Dick Tracy was great one to run with. Being that he is a character that people recognize from the weekly comics (at least in the papers where it was still being run) but the reason it became so big is because of how much action there was in the movie. Most of the kids that watched the movie didn't know much about Dick Tracy and so everything that happened was a surprise. There was a lot DT merchandise being sold after the release of the movie.
Having Madonna in the movie didn't hurt its sales any, as she was still an American pop icon that had a number of years of good music ahead of her. All in all I really liked this movie when it came out.
