Product Description

From Amazon.com

Based on a retro-styled comic book hit of the '80s, this Disney film was meant to launch a whole line of Rocketeer films--but the series began and ended with this one. That's too bad, because this underrated Joe Johnston film has a certain loopy charm. The story centers on a pre-World War II stunt pilot (Bill Campbell) who accidentally comes into possession of a rocket-propelled backpack much coveted by the Nazis. With the aid of his mechanic pal (Alan Arkin), he gets it up and running, then uses it to foil a plot by a gang of vicious Nazi spies (is there any other kind?) led by Timothy Dalton. Jennifer Connelly is on hand as the love interest, but the real fun here is when the Rocketeer takes off. There's also a nifty battle atop an airborne blimp. --Marshall Fine

4.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Movie... So-So DVD, July 12 2004
By

This review is from: Rocketeer, the (DVD)
I ordered "The Rocketeer" over a year ago and finally had chance to watch it this past weekend. I haven't seen it in several years, and I must say, it's even better than I remembered it! Billy Campbell is terrific and Jennifer Connely glows. Alan Arkin is a reliable sidekick... and Timothy Dalton positively shines as the villain of the piece! The movie has a Saturday matinee feel to it, but with top-notch production values. It also has a great sense of humor. It's one of the best movies that no one saw. Too bad. I was disappointed with the picture quality of my dvd. Is this common for this particular release, or did I get a lemon? Also would have like to have seen some additional extra features. I know I saw a featurette on creating the rocket-pack scenes somewhere many years ago. Regardless... This is one movie I'm really glad to have. I'll be watching and re-watching it for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent !, Jan 18 2012
This review is from: The Rocketeer: 20th Anniversary Edition - BD [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Très bon film comportant beaucoup de clins d`oeil se rapportant à l`époque.Divertissant et amusant.Les effets spéciaux ont un peu vieilli mais pas au point de ne pas apprécier le film.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good film, Lousy DVD, Mar 1 2010
By 
R. Martin (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rocketeer, the (DVD)
Entertaining family film that had great special effects for the time and is begging to be remade for a new generation. Unfortunately Disney spent no time restoring it. The DVD looks like a poor VHS transfer and has no auto-sizing feature leaving it up to you to zoom in and find a good fit on your home theater.
