Silver Dollar said:Sky Captain is another one of those movies that you watch as if you were a ten year old kid. You have to look at it like an old comic book. Otherwise it just falls flat. If you're looking for a movie with a deep plot and lots of symbolism, it just ain't that kind of flick. Pure action entertainment. But there's nothing wrong with the fact that you didn't like it. Inside, I'm nothing more than a 10 year old kid.
It has been a while since I saw it, but when I did I was rather bored by it. I love the type of movies you just described but Sky Captain... well, i just didn't think that it was particularly entertaining.
