Rating: Summary: "AN ACTION ADVENTURE ROMANTIC COMEDY SPY STORY."ÿ Review: As a kid, this was my favorite movie for quite some time. I never thought I'd see them re-release it (as Disney would probably like to forget it ever existed) but I'm pleased none the less. Condorman is sort of a cross between James Bond and Batman with some Pink Panther ineptitude thrown in for laughs. While it is not by any means a masterpiece, it's still pretty fun and quite worthwhile. It's got lots of high tech spy gear, including cool cars, speedboats, lazers and other gadgets, humor, romance, an evil villain, and a likable hero who comes out on top. I've read some pretty bad reviews of the film, complaining that there's no plot to it. I don't know what movie they were watching, but the film makes pretty good sense to someone willing to just listen to the dialogue. It makes a great deal more sense than the plots of some other spy movies I could mention... Maybe Condorman IS mostly for the kids, but if you have an attention span and give it a chance, I think you'll find it's not nearly as bad as you may have heard.
Rating: Summary: A Hilarious Film Review: As a spoof of the spy genre, this is great. Michael Crawford plays the lead with endearing charm and innocence, and, knowing his sense of humor, tongue-in-cheek. Somehow it all works to be hilariously funny!
Rating: Summary: A funny action film love it Review: Disney got panned because of this film , but think it's great you don't see anything like it . i wish they made more movies like this. including tron, watcher in the woods etc. don't offend the senses they inspire, so person that wrote the dreadful review in watch it again with open mind. It's just great film i love it . oh by the way i did'nt know who michael C back then i thought he was an americian funny eh-. i want to kiss the girl agent she's a fox, happy watching may senses soar. thanks disney for this film!
Rating: Summary: Miserable garbage. Review: Grade-Z spy spoof starring the insufferable Michael Crawford, who would fortunatly redeem himself as the Phantom. The movie plays like one of those bad low-budget afternoon adventure shows on the USA Network. And the special effects are dreadful. Sure, the movie is targeted toward children, but even they will notice that the wires are easily visible when Condorman flies. This isn't uncommon in special effects movies (even the most expensive productions have their faults), but in this case the wires are so visible and distracting (they almost look like ropes) it ruins the entire fantasy element. I'm surprised Disney even greenlighted this project. Pathetic.
Rating: Summary: An excellent film, which typifys what society used to love.. Review: Here is an example of classic movie making. It reflects the old values of passed generations, and though there are romantic moments, they are not dwelt upon nor exploited for sexuality as so rudimentary in modern films. I recommend it to all who love their families enough to show them wholesome movies. Crawford is a great actor, playing a kind of "Clark Kent/Superman" split role at times, trying to be a regular guy one moment, then a superhero another, and incorporates innocence in his less than eloquent attempts to impress a pretty woman. It is definately worth-while, clean fun.
Rating: Summary: This film is primarily for Michael Crawford fans. Review: I am such a fan of Michael Crawford's singing that I would probably pay to listen to him gargle. When I saw this film I thought, "How does a man whose singing makes people weep get to be Condorman?" After watching it twice I decided it is what it was meant to be; a huge put-on. Not that it matters to a Michael Crawford fan. If you are a fan be sure to buy "Knack...and How to Get it"...What a guy! Actor,dancer,gymnist,wonderful comedian,and sings like an angel!
Rating: Summary: choix des seigneurs Review: i enjoy review this pictures because it was wonderfull like marvels heros and more funny i think but i don't find it. i hope that you have it to send me, thanks.
Rating: Summary: Fun but not very good Review: I first saw this movie five years ago, as a preteen, with my father. We made jokes about what low-quality it was until I read a year ago that it stars Michael Crawford(Phantom of the Opera). It was still low quality (except the special effects, which are pretty good), but it is definitely worth it for Crawford fans. Crawford plays a cartoonist who, with an amazingly coincidental association with the CIA, acts out the exploits of his hero, Condorman. Not especially funny or thrilling, Condorman is a uniform mock-spy-thriller, with a good supporting cast but bad writing. Would probably be good for younger children (note the PG rating, though), and has gorgeous scenes in the Alps.
Rating: Summary: Condorman is a great movie for everyone. Review: I first saw this movie when I was very young and loved it ever since. Every time I see it on the Disney Channel, I tell myself that if I ever found this movie I'd buy it. All of my friends have to put up with it at least once a year. It's always been my favorite. I think that Michael Crawford is a wonderful actor.
Rating: Summary: Movie is 5 stars, but dvd is 1 star Review: I love this movie, and have been waiting for it to be released on dvd. Unfortunately, the dvd was not worth the wait. The dvd has no features whatsoever, not even subtitles. The main menu has two options, play movie and chapter selections. The sound and picture are no better than the video; the only benefits the dvd has over the video are that you can fast forward directly to a specific scene, and you have your choice of full screen and wide screen (double sided dvd). What's the point of making a dvd if it is as bad as this one? Very disappointing.... P.S. This is for the 1999 dvd version. I noticed that a new version was released in 2003. Hopefully that version is better.
