Disney didn't know what they had when the released the Rocketeer. It was sandwiched between Terminator 2 and Robin Hood:Prince of Theives for it's opening weekend. Too bad, because an earlier or later release would have given this movie the commercial credit it deserves. If Disney would have released it in 1999, The Rocketeer most certainly would have been considered as a syndicated series, maybe even ABC primetime. It was that fun for me. And pay attention to the soundtrack. The score has been used for dozens of Disney movie trailers since 1991.

What makes the Rocketeer so good is that it manages to capture that same Saturday-matinee serial feel that the Indian Jones films did. The one scene that still makes me cheer is when the gangsters and the FBI fight the Nazis together. Ah, American teamwork.

It's a shame this stunning film dosen't get more recogniton. It has a entertaining, almost believable story about a man who discovers a rocket that makes him fly-but men that a working for a Nazi spy want it too. The reason I love it is because it relies more on characters and a storyline than a lot a action and overloaded special effects balleyhoo. It left SUCH a big impression on me when it first came out in '91(I was ten.) I wanted to be Jennifer Connely's character so badly! Now when I look back at her, 7 years later, her character seems a bit of a pushover but the more I watch it she shows more spunk and uses her "weak femaleness" to trick Timothy Dalton(Neville Sinclair). Sure the movie can seem too "talky" at times, but thegood parts are worth waiting for. The ballroom scene, blimp scene, and Jenny's kidnapping alone a worth waiting for. One of my all time favorites. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT!!! People, type The Rocketeer in your video word search!

I thought the movie the Rocketeer combined many great themes together quite nicely. Any aviation buff will particularly enjoy this movie...it's sprinkled with bits of history in a plot that captures an old style, high energy plot with the romance of early flying and swashbuckling action. A little slow in the middle, but you'll be well-rewarded at the end of the movie. Suitable for just about all audiences.
