Review

Disney hasnt made a whole lot of movies over the last decade that have really been able to capture my interest. One of their better efforts 1991s "The Rocketeer" is one of the luckier films.

"The Rocketeer" soared high and mighty upon its release in 1991 from the graphic novel by Dave Stevens and onto the big screen with Cliff Secord (Bill Campbell) dawning an experimental rocket pack that is coveted by gangsters and Nazis during World War II.

The movie does remind some people of the serials of the 1930s and 1940s some of which helped to spawn the megasuccessful "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in 1981 and this years "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow."

"The Rocketeer" is a great movie and it should be viewed by everyone.
