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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

A piece of blandly enthusiastic, B-movie pulp.

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.
