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.

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.

rocketeer,des effets spéciaux grandioses aussi trépidant et plein de suspense que(les aventuriers de l'arche perdue).a hollywood à la fin des années 30,cliff un jeune pilote de meetings d'aviation trouve par hasard un objet mysterieux une invention top secréte,qui lui permet de se fransformer en homme fusée et qui va bouleverser sa vie.

The Rocketeer is real blast! It's a fun, truly action-packed adventure that should have been much more successful in the theaters. It's funny how some real stinkers make it big, and some great movies just go nowhere. The Rocketeer is definitely in the latter group. Bill Campbell is perfect as Cliff Secord, and I loved Alan Arkin as his pal/mentor 'Peevy.' It's a little jarring to see James Bond playing the bad guy, but Timothy Dalton works wonderfully as the movie star/villain. A thrill ride from curtain to curtain. A great family film, but be forewarned, there are a couple of scenes with some disturbing off-screen violence from Tiny Ron as Lothar. Younger children might find those a little too scary. But overall, everybody in my family liked The Rocketeer.

I loved how it formed a time around the 30's and how it related to actresses and actors that acutly perferomed in real movies. I love all the actors and actresses in this movie. Keep it up yall!!!!

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.

Quand j'ai vu ce film à sa sortie en 1991, pour l'époque, c'était pas mal. Mais quand je le revois aujourd'hui, on ne peut que constater que les effets spéciaux qui à l'époque convenaient, ce n'est plus le cas. De plus, le scénario tourne assez les coins assez court, privilégiant l'action d'abord et avant tout. Je l'avais acheté question de nostalgie, mais disons que ça plaît davantage à mon garçon de 5 ans.

Bill Campbell well known for his portrayal as Delbert Mosley in the HBO alien adventure "Out There" (1995) plays the witless hero, based on the comic book by Dave Stevens, in this flight of fancy accompanies by a well-seasoned and recognizable entourage.

It is the 1930's. Pilot Cliff Secord (Bill Campbell) and his mechanic partner Peevy (Alan Arkin) want to fly in the nationals. Little did they know that they would cross paths with the number three box office star Neville Sinclair (Timothy Dalton) whom for some nefarious reason wants to pilfer a (backpack) rocket designed by Howard Hughes (Terry O'Quinn).

Well it seems that Cliff got his hands on the rocket, but Neville knowing the Cliff has it, has got his hands on Cliff's girl Jenny Blake (Jennifer Connelly). So will they make a trade or is there something greater at stake?

This is one of the most coolest, fun filled movies I have ever seen because of everything that it has to make it a great movie. Simply GREAT!!!!!!

THIS MOVIE IS SO COOL AND IS A MUST SEE FOR ALL COMIC BOOK FANS! TRULY TRULY GREAT!
