Derek Malcolm Guardian The whole farrago is desperately limp and pedestrian, with Crawford delivering one of his damper performances owing to the lack of a halfway decent script. Dec 29, 2021 Full Review Time Out An ideological intervention from the Disney machine: the Cold War re-heated for the kiddies. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review John Corry New York Times It is painless and chaste, and it has a lot of beautiful scenery and beautiful clothes. There are worse things to watch while you eat popcorn. Rated: 3/5 Aug 30, 2004 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Condorman feels like Disney’s awkward attempt to blend spy thrills with comic book fun, but it ends up being more bland than bold. Rated: 3/10 Aug 26, 2024 Full Review Starburst Staff Starburst Overall Condorman is an entertaining film. But it seems a pity that a little more thought wasn't put into the production. Jul 27, 2022 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...a convoluted narrative to ask any kid to enjoy... Rated: 3/5 Mar 22, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

James G Is it ham fisted? Yes! Does it tick almost all the trope boxes? Again, yes! Is it dated and kind of weird? Yup! Is it stupid fun and worth a watch, even if it's for Crawford's wooden acting or Carrera's commentary on exactly what is happening? Yes it is! This is totally a product of the cocaine fueled 70s/80s and well worth the watch. It's fun, silly, and most of all entertaining. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Isabella O This film is absolutely breathtaking, my father bought this on dvd last year and watches it with the family near every weekend. Fridays in our home are called Condorman night and we all gather in the sitting room with snacks to watch this cinematic masterpiece. Michael Crawford has been an idle of mine and my true “superhero”. I was bullied when i was younger and this staggering film has become i part of me. I sometimes hope the Condorman could swoop in and save me from the bullies. I love this film, would recommend. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Darren O Condorman a true classic, best film so far!!!✊🤟😻 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review matthias s "Condorman" flew onto the screen with all the subtlety of a malfunctioning jetpack. As a self-proclaimed superhero movie, it failed to take off, landing firmly in the realm of a two-star disappointment. I came expecting comic-book escapism, but what I got was an over-the-top, politically charged spectacle that left me scratching my head. The film's attempts at humor were as flat as a deflated balloon animal, with gags that felt more outdated than the main character's spandex suit. Instead of a caped crusader, we got a bumbling, reluctant hero who wouldn't be out of place in a Saturday morning cartoon. To make matters worse, "Condorman" dived headfirst into politics, leaving me yearning for escapism rather than thinly veiled international espionage. It's like ordering a burger and getting a tofu salad; they might both be enjoyable, but they're not what you expected. In short, "Condorman" left me grounded, yearning for a different kind of superhero flick, and wondering if I'd ever get my 90 minutes back. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Matthew H Cheesy by far. Brilliant soundtrack, a very silly version of bond with a sprinkling of the British TV series "some mothers do have em" daft, but for a child of the 80s, it was a fun PG version of bond, super hero with a cool yellow sports car and an awesome speed boat. Hot drinks that shoot fire from your mouth, lasers , secret cane machine guns and a rather pathetic way to fly away at super slow speeds. Light and silly entertainment at its best. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the greatest films of all time but is misunderstood deeply. It helped to win the Cold War and Oliver Reed is magnificent.
