Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Absolutely the worst movie.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The Rocketeer is an amazing action packed superhero adventure and as amazing as Indiana Jones. It's about a man named Cliff who started out as a racing pilot and then becomes a superhero when he finds a rocket which was stolen from a factory by a gang of crooks led by Nazi agent named Neville Sinclair. It also has a really good love story in it and like in all superhero movies the good guy always gets the girl. In the end of this film Cliff aka the Rockteer saves the world from the Nazi's and gets the woman of his dreams Jenny Blake. This film was worth watching and this came out the year I was born just like Terminator 2 and Beauty and the Beast. The Rocketeer also reminds me of Iron Man cause the Rocketeer and Iron Man both wear iron helmets and use rockets to fly. Amazing and thrilling here. 10 out of 10.

In addition to this very intelligent question, i can write some more lines… The story is interesting, the production is awesome, the score is symphonic, the action sequences are thrilling, there is a bunch of great performances (Jenny, 007, Sorvino,…) and at the end, i felt bored however ! I can't exactly pinpoint what's wrong but here some ideas : first, it's totally serious and it's unexpected from a Californian super-hero ! It happens in the 30s so it's a bit faraway for a modern geek ! Then, the lead actor is maybe not the best choice… So i don't have great fun with it and the definitive fact is that i don't read the comics either !

Typical Disney Fluff. If you are a Disney Fan - go for it. I - however - would much rather watch King of the Rocket Men (1949) - because despite all of these years I still find it enjoyable. Special Effects - Nazi Zeppelins and Exploding Rocket Packs - don't always make for a superior movie. The plot was not too technical - because - I suspect that if one were to use one's head as a rudder - (rudder built into helmet) - while zooming along at 100 miles an hour - one would snap one's head off. But - it is what it is and probably would be a nice film for kids. The acting was understandably restrained with the actors holding back - probably due to its PG-13 rating. A nice family film - but - give King of the Rocket Men a try some rainy Saturday Afternoon.

Formulaic and mostly dull. Pretty much your standard action-adventure story. Has a few interesting / odd diversions here and there but mostly fairly standard stuff. Plot, while seemingly sci fi, is actually pretty much a conventional boys-own action-adventure story.Action sequences are OK, but, once again, nothing special. The final scenes are decent though.Kids will probably like it: it has the don't-worry-about-the-plot holes- and-implausibilities thing going for it that children like.For adults, well adult males, the only reason to watch this is Jennifer Connelly...
