wilmax32 My favourite movie from my childhood, it has everything, charismatic lead, superb female counterpart, fabulous slapstick from a slapstick genius, fast cars (Porsche 911) , evil (alchoholic) overlord, scary henchmen, gadgets galore, lasers, and plenty of peril!!! What's not to love??

jthaule They probably had a great time making this film, and as a kid this was absolutely one of my favorite films. Seeing it again as an adult I can't help but notice that most of the actors seem to be in it for a payed vacation in Monte Carlo, and loads of alcohol, however.It has a lot of good set ups, a super hot Russian spy, and some amusing takes on the cinematic spy-genre. Especially the scene where Condorman's car reveals itself to be a superb racing car, with advanced weaponry - and later on even doubles as a hovercraft. It's straight out of a cross between Captain America and James Bond. But it's severely dated, and full of plot holes. It's also too slowly paced to compete with anything similar today, and the lead actor has no charisma whatsoever. He's a bumbling idiot, and very little else.

the amorphousmachine 'Condorman' isn't in the same league as other of my childhood favourites, and while nostalgia is one thing when revisiting a film, sometimes you realised that the charm would have worn off if you re-watched in your teenage years. Simply put, 'Condorman' is an okay film that is essentially for children and it's a lot better than revisiting 'Howard the Duck'. There was some decent car-chase sequences involving a one-eyed henchman in a bike helmet inside fast Porsches, and some fun comedic where Michael Crawford got to showcase his timing, and I really liked the performance by James Hampton as Woody's sidekick. Oliver Reed was okay as the villain and Barbara Carrera was good as the love interest. The bad was that awful score from one of the greats, and some of the exposition scenes at the beginning felt obvious and seemed to know little about comic-book history, and of course, Condorman in costume having to flap his wings isn't quite the superhero we are used to in films.Filmed in 1981, 'Condorman' is definitely dated, and maybe only suitable for people who actually remember this as a child. It gets a pass from my older self! **½ out of *****!

Randall Cameron I caught part of this with my buddies when it was released as a double-feature after some Western (Young Guns, maybe).Amazingly, fewer than 10 (out of 200+) remained in the big screen theater for Condorman.It starts off looking like another moderately entertaining Disney kid's film, but runs downhill rapidly with a combination of predictability, cliché dialog, horrid performances, and low budget production values unusual for a Disney film. Special effects were poorer than films made 30 years earlier.Oliver Reed demonstrates once again that he will do anything for money, Barbara Carrera is pretty to look at but nothing else, and Michael Crawford manages to be goofy but completely uninteresting. We were the last to walk out after perhaps 40 minutes.Yawn!
