They Don’t Make Superhero Movies Like This Anymore

💥 Today we’re diving into The Rocketeer (1991), a movie that makes me unironically say, “Wow, they just don’t make ’em like this anymore.”

Directed by Joe Johnston and based on the 1982 graphic novel, this film is a love letter to classic adventure serials—optimistic, thrilling, and completely sincere. With a near-perfect screenplay, a stellar cast (Billy Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Timothy Dalton, Alan Arkin), and one of James Horner’s best scores, The Rocketeer remains one of the most underrated comic book adaptations ever.
