Rating: 3/4 --
A charmer in its gee-whiz, irony-light resuscitation of the movie serials of the '30s. [Blu-ray]

Groucho Reviews
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.

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

Time Out
Undeniably, Rocketeer's overall trajectory is pleasing and winning, but it lacks the quirky charms and personal idiosyncracies that endeared other big-effects films to tot and sophisticate alike.

At the end of the day, The Rocketeer works because it's paying homage to the Saturday matinee serials.
