Rocketeer Trading Cards Set Opened 27 Years Later

The Rocketeer is a 1991 Disney superhero film based on the comic book created by writer Dave Stevens. The Rocketeer is a period piece set in 1938 and tells the story of stunt pilot Cliff Secord who stumbles upon a hidden rocket powered jet pack that he thereafter uses to fly without the need of an aircraft. His heroic deeds soon attract the attention of multi-millionaire Howard Hughes and the FBI, who are hunting for the missing jet pack, as well as the Nazi operatives that stole it from Hughes.

I remember seeing the film in the early 90s and being a bit nonplussed with it and that's how I feel about this trading card set, which I picked up from a comic-con a while back. The packet is shiny cellophane and is brightly coloured with an art deco styled Rocketeer image. However, once the packet was opened it all became a bit 'meh'  with bland coloured stills from the film and a few promotional shots. The cards are matt and don't have a quality feel to them at all. Overall, much like the film from my memories, this is all a bit bland.
