Sky Captain is fun, but it gradually wears out its welcome as its one gimmick loses its novelty. Sure, the visuals are thrilling fun if you're always wanted to see a live-action Flesicher Superman cartoon... But the storyline, pacing, and direction of the actors leave a lot to be desired: it's pretty much the classic example of giving a techno-geek with no proven ability to make a feature film a chance to make one. The result is a gorgeous, retro-themed, technological marvel that essentially fails at being a good movie. You'll notice that Kerry Conran hasn't been given a chance to direct another feature in the last ten years.
