While The Rocketeer never crashes, it's a bumpy ride of cartoonish characters, a flimsy plot and an overall sense of letdown.

This $40 million adventure fantasy puts a shiny polish on familiar elements: airborne hero, damsel in distress, Nazi villains, 1930s Hollywood glamor, and dazzling special effects.

A charming adventure tale, in the spirit of 1930's serials, The Rocketeer is a fun ride.

It's not as dark or as edgy as Tim Burton's Batman films, but it's still cleaner and more digestible. It's not a deep story, but it's full of fun nostalgia and action.

One of Disney's most underrated films, and I can't for the life of me figure out why, unless it's the absence of a big-name star.

A piece of blandly enthusiastic, B-movie pulp.

The whole thing is good-natured enough, but increasingly mechanical.

A charmer in its gee-whiz, irony-light resuscitation of the movie serials of the '30s. [Blu-ray]

In the quarter-century since its release, as the superhero blockbuster has become a cornerstone of mainstream moviemaking, it's become clear that 'The Rocketeer' is a model of the form - breathless, energetic, and endlessly entertaining.

Neat idea, peachy visuals, but there ain't much else to grip the imagination.
