The Rocketeer (released internationally as The Adventures of the Rocketeer) is a 1991 American period superhero film from Walt Disney Pictures and Touchstone Pictures starring Bill Campbell and Jennifer Connelly.
Opening in a challenging summer, The Rocketeer didn't do the kind of business Disney had hoped for, failing at the box office and killing any plans for a franchise.
Somehow, over the years, the movie has made a comeback but there have still been many setbacks in getting a proper sequel to The Rocketeer made...

I was 8 years old and hyped as hell when this movie first hit theaters. Years later, when I heard it was a flop, my first thought was, "No it wasn't, I was there!"

As a kid, I dreamed that The Phantom, The Shadow, and the Rocketeer would all team up, maybe against the classic

I had the good fortune of teaching one of Joe Johnston’s kids years ago, and when I found out that he was coming to graduation, I was literally pre-gaming my mental script for how I wanted to thank him for his contributions to my childhood.

One thing people don't bring up enough is how good the score to this movie is as well. The music was fantastic in this, and gave it such a great timely feel.

This movie, as well as Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow, needs so much more love.

I love the Rockateer as a kid. It felt like Indiana Jones meets Dick Tracy with a rocket. Plus, Timothy Dalton is the best.

Watched this in the cinema when it first got released and fell in love with the aesthetic but it’s truly one of the best superHERO movies. He’s never the cleverest or best person in the room and the character and movie makes sure to acknowledge that. He’s not relying on a superpower or McGuffin, it’s just grit, determination, moral fortitude and a bit of street smarts.

Was totally obsessed with this movie as a kid. Even made a custom firework out of a nerds box and a bottle rocket. The marketing worked

I remember when I first saw it. I had to do a medical test that required me to stay up all night. So to help me stay awake, my Dad rented a few movies for me to binge watch. One was Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, another was The Rocketeer. Really enjoyed both of them and still watch them today.
