"An action/ adventure film based off a comic of the same name, when Cliff Seacord losses his plane after a car chase he comes upon a device that him and his mechanic Mac would help them buy a new plane in no time! Worth watching as you see the protagonists work to understand who made this device and those who are after it!"
"Another one from my childhood that I haven't seen since then. Holds up really well. There aren't many films out there that capture both the tone of the classic pulp comics and the sense of adventure they try to convey. The Rocketeer does both these things and does them superbly. The infectious fun the cast has with their roles, most notably Timothy Dalton and Alan Arkin, is a joy to watch and the attention to detail in the visuals and the art direction is simply stunning. I am still impressed by that unbelievable finale and by the unwavering entertainment value. If you love adventure films, watch this one. It is simply one of the best."
"A masterpiece that combines a relatable protagonist, fun, and a good story to entertain. The acting is also on point."

"Yay! It is great! Just imagine the illegitimate stepchild of a mating between "The Shadow", "Sky Captain and the world of Tomorrow", and "The Mercury Men". Hope that manages to give it the hearty endorsement it deserves with a healthy 3 extra suggestions thrown in for good measure. 😉"
