Review: The Rocketeer was one of my favorite films of the 1990s.  The movie, based on a comic book of the same name, was an absolute gem.  The film basically centers on WWII America...a young man finds a rocket pack..there are nazi spies..beautiful starlets..its got it all!  This family friendly film pre-dates high-quality action films like Iron Man with the same amount of wit and quality.  This is the first time the movie has come to high-definition blu-ray and it looks fantastic!  This one is a must-have.
