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.

Young children will be unmoved by the film, but older children will enjoy it, as will adults looking for some mindless fun.

The film is pleasant but too hackneyed and heavy-handed to work well.

An ideological intervention from the Disney machine: the Cold War re-heated for the kiddies.

Bland and bizarre attempt at Disneyfied super-heroics.

One of the many misguided live-action films that Disney made in the late 70's/early 80's was Condorman. It's the kind of film that sounds like it was made as a bet. The premise is insane and the execution is even more ridiculous.An american comic book writer is living in Paris "researching" his new comic Condorman. By

This was one of my favorite movies growing up. It is a light hearted, funny movie that I have seen a hundred times and can pretty well quote the whole thing. The quality of the film is not the greatest but I think everything from the acting to directing is really quite good. In my opinion this film is underrated
