The Rocketeer Ratings & Reviews
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Steve Murray
For adventure, nostalgia and some nifty movie in-jokes, "The Rocketeer" flies.
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
It has grace, style, and dynamism inhealthy quantities. [Full review in Spanish]
Midwest Film Journal
Nick Rogers
Occasionally vrooms as if powered by voluminous vials of jet fuel and will send art-deco aficionados' eyes a-poppin' like Tex Avery's Wolf. But for anyone raised on "Raiders," its sum total is a mostly phantom memory of aesthetic, mood and momentum.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...briskly-paced and unabashedly old-fashioned...
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Momentous, thrilling, intermittently comedic (but never unintentionally), smartly paced, and uncommonly entertaining.
Hollywood Jesus
Ed Travis
The Rocketeer captures a nostalgia for the past and couples it with a retro science fiction future...
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
At the end of the day, The Rocketeer works because it's paying homage to the Saturday matinee serials.
The Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
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.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
In the quarter-century since its release, as the superhero blockbuster has become a cornerstone of mainstream moviemaking, it's become clear that 'The Rocketeer' is a model of the form - breathless, energetic, and endlessly entertaining.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Almost never takes thrilling flight.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A piece of blandly enthusiastic, B-movie pulp.
Variety
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.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The whole thing is good-natured enough, but increasingly mechanical.
Zap2it.com
Daniel Fienberg
Truer to the old school Saturday matinee spirit than any modern film this side of Indiana Jones
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Plenty of energy has gone into making this a bustling, visually clever film with an amusing late-1930's stylishness, but the purpose of such effort is uncertain.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
The film is awash in all kinds of surprises that are too juicy to reveal.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
You have to dial down, to return to an age of innocence when an eccentric inventor and a clear-eyed hero could take on the bad guys with a new gizmo they'd dreamed up overnight.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Such an idealized time never really existed, to be sure, but once in a while it's nice to think it might have.
Washington Post
Joe Brown
Based on a comic book, deliciously corny but not campy, "The Rocketeer" is the movie Dick Tracy and Batman wanted to be.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
It's a humble little item, actually, easily digested and easily forgotten.
