Derek Malcolm Guardian 12/29/2021
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. Go to Full Review
Time Out 02/09/2006
An ideological intervention from the Disney machine: the Cold War re-heated for the kiddies. Go to Full Review

3/5
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. Go to Full Review

3/10
Condorman feels like Disney’s awkward attempt to blend spy thrills with comic book fun, but it ends up being more bland than bold. Go to Full Review

Overall Condorman is an entertaining film. But it seems a pity that a little more thought wasn't put into the production. Go to Full Review

Christopher P Jul 14 I watched this movie first came out and have since purchased it on VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, and digital. I have always loved this movie. Comedy, action, car chases, boat chases, creative story line, and great music. The special effects are not the greatest, but the film is memorable. Listening to the Henry Mancini soundtrack brings to mind ever scene. My kids still enjoy it and I have even shared with my middle school students. See more James G 10/04/2024 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. See more Isabella O 07/20/2024 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. See more Darren O 01/02/2024 Condorman a true classic, best film so far!!!✊🤟😻 See more matthias s @Thescreenasvor 11/15/2023 "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. See more 06/10/2022 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. See more Read all reviews
