9 Superhero Movies From The 1990s That You Should Revisit

We're enjoying such a glut of superhero films right now - with everything from cinematic mainstays like Batman and Spider-Man to lesser-known properties like Suicide Squad and Doctor Strange. As such, it's hard to remember the less-populated years of the 1990s, where putting a costumed crusader in your movie wasn’t a surefire success.

3) The Rocketeer (1991)

Before Disney got their hands on Marvel, the House of Mouse’s first dip into the superhero genre was this adaptation of Dave Stevens’ comic character – The Rocketeer.

When pilot Cliff Secord (Bill Campbell) finds a prototype jetpack invented by Howard Hughes, he uses it to save his girlfriend (Jennifer Connelly) from a Post-Bond Timothy Dalton as the Errol Flynn-esque Nazi sympathizer/Hollywood star Neville Sinclair. The result is a bright and good-natured throwback to old time-y movie serials, in a similar way to Indiana Jones.

Directed by Joe Johnston, this ode to the Golden Age of Hollywood shares a lot of similarities with his later work Captain America: The First Avenger. So if you like that one, make sure to take this film for a test flight as well.
