Review of The Rocketeer (1991) by Matthew M — 17 Jan 2012

Funny enough, this movie about flying never really takes off itself. The first act sort of breezes by and it doesn't really feel like anything happens. No real character developments, or any tension or sense of danger from the villains, even when the plot of the Nazis is revealed.

However, there's a certain charm to it. It's been compared to the old action serials, but it also feels like a Saturday morning superhero cartoon too. For me, that redeems some of it's faults.

I enjoyed it for what it was.
