Condorman (1981)

This one was a lot of fun and much better than it had any right to be. I remember reading the book, oddly enough, when the movie came out, but didn't bother with the movie at the time. A shame, really, for I had loved Michael Crawford in the British TV series 'Doctor in the House', when I was a kid, and Oliver Reed and Barbara Carrera always offer great value to the cinephile.

Worthy of respect, especially if you have kids around. A Disney live-action movie that hasn't aged half-badly.

A good, comedic Disney superhero film.

'Condorman' is nothing spectacular or entirely memorable, but it does produce a sufficiently fun 90 minutes. It crosses a whole host of countries, something I like when films do. With that said, in this it feels too broken up. One minute we're in Turkey, then Italy, then Monaco. It doesn't feel like the characters have travelled to me, it's too disjointed.

Michael Crawford (Woody) and Barbara Carrera (Natalia) are solid together, none of the others particularly stand out. Some of Condorman's gadgets/gimmicks are kinda neat, while there's one enjoyable chase sequence in there too.

Worthy of a watch.
