Of course there was no doubt about me sitting down to watch the 1981 movie "Condorman" again here in 2023, as I happened to get a chance to do so. I remember having seen the movie back in the early 1980s, but must confess that I have entirely forgotten about the storyline. And thus, of course, I sat down to watch it again.
The storyline in "Condorman", as written by Marc Stirdivant, Robert Sheckley and Mickey Rose, is a well-written and entertaining one. It is a good script that includes elements of the superhero genre and spy genre, while sprucing it up with some light comedy and that good old fashioned Disney element from their movies back in the 1980s. It is a storyline that is easy to get submerged into, and it made for quite an entertaining ride throughout the 90 minutes that the movie ran for.
The acting performances in "Condorman" are good, and leading actor Michael Crawford carried the movie phenomenally well. The movie also have other familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Oliver Reed, Barbara Carrera, James Hampton and Vernon Dobtcheff.
There is a good amount of action throughout the course of the movie, including a really nice car chase and an equally nice boat chase scene.
For a movie made in 1981, I have to say that the effects are actually fairly good still. They add a certain charm to the movie and are pulled off quite nicely.
"Condorman", from director Charles Jarrott, is quite worth sitting down to watch, despite it being a somewhat old movie.
My rating of "Condorman" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
