Fantastic set design, great costumes, and nothing else. The story is just an assembly line of random events. Batman 89 was almost as sloppy but at least it gave the characters some motivations.
I wish we could see Madonna’s full and uncut dance number for More somewhere. Beatty cut her performance to ribbons ignorantly believing that everyone actually came to see the movie for him, poor dolt.
Murphy hit gold with 48 Hrs, Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, and Coming To America. But with a few exceptions ( Bowfinger, Dream Girls, Nutty Professor), he has phoned it in with lazy performances, kid friendly junk, and voice over cash grabs.
Comic book/strip movies peaked with "Dick Tracy" and none of the subsequent efforts have come close to matching its artistry. It's a pity the picture isn't more popular.
@@Shadowman4710 Just to lets you know, Flaccidus Minimus thinks that people who like the 80s in film are total idiots, simply because they don't have similar taste to his precocious Siskel and Ebert. He also missed the point on Ghostbusters, wrote it off as nothing special, writing off fans as "nostalgiacs who have the warm fuzzies of the pop culture of that period", and blocked people who are trying to explain things to him.
@@Shadowman4710 That's right, he seems to think that people like Oliver Harper, or other reviewers online who like the 80s in film are "deluded nostalgiacs". He shows no respect for other people's opinions apart from Siskel and Ebert.
No mention of Dick Tracy cynically recruiting composer Danny Elfman to produce what is basically a _sound-alike_ for his own Batman score. No mention either of the many original songs by Broadway darling Stephen Sondheim. I feel like audiences' appreciation of music in the movies (and in general) went into a steep decline around about 1970, hitting rock bottom by about the mid 1990s, when real orchestras were regularly being replaced by hokey-sounding synthesizers, and nobody seemed to complain. In the 1990s, you'd occasionally meet somebody's Dad who was fanatical about Ennio Morricone's music for Leone's spaghetti westerns, or who felt all warm and nostalgic about Nino Rota's score for The Godfather. Music seemingly used to be much more important. To the degree that in the 1960s, films like Lawrence of Arabia had both an overture and an intermezzo. As if for a good many of the audience, the film was just an excuse to hear Maurice Jarre's latest symphony. I guess the moral is that in America, anything that resists commoditization will be easily replaced by a mass-produceable substitute. And any memory of what made the pre-commoditized property good or beloved will be forcibly knocked out of the cultural memory through repetitive bombardment with banalities.
"Dick Tracy, this summer's challenger to Batman" -- makes this at least 1989, not 1988, respectfully. I thought Dick Tracy came out in 1990, actually, and Siskel mentions Batman? Confusing.
Holy smeg, John Leader from Universal Studios did the voice over for Siskel & Ebert in the beginning of each episode and on the sponsor segment? Wow, I didn't know that.
I agree. The story and dialogue was better in the first, but this one actually had better action and suspense. I thought the scene where they "attack" the bus was pretty intense.
0:00 Intro 0:53 Dick Tracy is comic underrated also colorful movie, the cars, clothes & weird looking people & gangsters. 👍⭐⭐⭐ stars 7:09 Torn Apart is Romeo and Juliet version that's too predictable & terrible acting 👎🌟🌟. 11:12 Another 48 Hrs. is a real disappointment for the audience including Nolte and Murphy 👎🌟.

The more I watch their reviews, the more I realize they don't like any of the movies I like. So now, i just look at horrible reviews to find the best movies
We watch movies for an entirely different reason than professional film critics do. Critics watch movies for the technical aspects of the films, not for purely entertainment purposes.
@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 Now we're talking. I enjoyed the first two BHC movies (disliked the 3rd) and the Lethal Weapon trilogy (4th one had sort of goofy epilogue feel to it)
