It probably felt like the Rocketeer at least in part because it was directed by the guy who directed the Rocketeer. :)
NO SHIT! That's hilarious, i had no idea. Awesome.
And i totally agree with you about the movies needing to not be awful. When something has a niche audience (which women are apparently considered to be) its failure is always blamed on that niche rather than on its quality. When a shitty sci-fi show fails it's blamed on the fact that it's sci-fi and not that it's shitty. It's this stupid "beggars can't be choosers" mentality that "well we gave you this thing, what more do you want??? for it to be GOOD? HA!" And yet male-fronted movies come in a full spectrum from terrible to brilliant and that quality never rests solely on their maleness because that's considered the default for mass audience appeal.
Unfortunately i don't think Hollywood is willing to push for the talent and budgetary extravagance to make really great movies for what they consider to be a niche audience. Even if they did finally make a Wonder Woman movie, i would have absolutely no faith in their ability to do it right, as sad as that is.
