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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
