Just perfect...
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Saw this back in the 80s on the Disney Channel. I loved it. Watched it several more times that weekend. My aunt taped it for me. Watched it over and over again. Not only was Woody Wilkins a comic book creator, he was the hero he created! To this day, I still watch this film. Showed it to my children and they loved it. This is a fun, romantic, adventure flick for all ages.
The reason I gave Condorman a 10 isn't because it's the best movie I've ever seen, but more because it's one of my fav childhood memories. I remember none of the video stores had it, but the library did. I used to rent it almost on a weekly basis for more than a year and it's funny...All I can remember of it is the title track and a boat chase vaguely, but what I remember most is how much I loved sitting down in front of our old brute of a T.V. that was probably 10 years older than me with the crappiest color you've ever seen and watching that movie over and over and over. So I guess what I'm saying is that although I don't remember much of the movie itself, I'll never forget how much I loved watching it. I haven't seen it in more than fifteen years and I don't think I ever want to see it again. It seems to me that when you're a four year old kid, movies seem a lot more amusing. I think if I watched it again now, I'd be more disappointed than anything else. HAIL CONDORMAN!!!! -Chris P.
One of the most talented actor's of his era stars in the lead role. Perhaps we could say that the other actors' were being given a chance. There was no lack of ambition in making the film. Some of the on-location scenes are truly stunning. Although the special effects are starting to appear dated they are none the less original and brilliant. The concept of the film is a cross between a comic book hero and a secret agent who failed O'Level spying. It has the humour of the Morecambe and Wise show and the special effects of an early Bond film. A worthy flick that will appeal to everyone from young to not-so-young. It contains humour, gadgets, one-liners and plenty of action and is certainly not as predictable as one might think.
I grew up with this film and must have watched it at least 20 times and i still do sometimes.It stars michael crawford who takes his persona of frank spencer and adds an American accent as a cartoon artist who helps a friend who works for the CIA with a job.Anyhows this is merely an excuse for some fun with jokes and some really cool action sequences (the bit with the Porsche's is excellent) think james bond for kids.There is also a bit of romance but nothing to worry about, it really is just a great film for kids.(okay and adults)
