    The Rocketeer is as classic as they come. It saddens me that Disney doesn’t do more with it as a property. I’ve watched this movie on repeat since it came out.
  • Cool!

    I enjoyed this movie when it first came out because there wasn't much like it at the time. However, I watched it again recently and it's slow. Really slow. To make matters worse, most of the tension and suspense comes from the Rocketeer not really being able to fly very well. Billy Campbell is very likable in the role and Timothy Dalton is as menacing as an Errol Flynn-type character can be. Tiny Ron carves an imposing profile as the heavy, but his character strains suspension of disbelief by literally breaking people in half. Jennifer Connelly looks every bit the part of a starlet from the period and that plus the retro futuristic stylings somewhat makes up for Alan Arkin and the really slow pace of the film.
