Long before Disney owned Marvel there was CONDORMAN!
It just doesnt flow right?
If I blink I can clearly envision the first video store my family joined.
It had all of maybe 150 movies in stock and the decor was wicker.
Wicker was big in the 80s.
While his accent is not of a specific USA origin, it is indescribably American.
He is like a geeky Bruce Wayne who is neither concerned with secret identities nor his own safety.
Silly yes, but unmitigated fun and it sets the tone for the rest of the film.
The problem is that in reality Harryis reallyjust a boring file clerk; a glorified pencil-pusher.
over and over again.
It sticks in your head like most bubblegum hits do, only for years instead of just days.
A professional creator bringing his toys to life on someone elses dime is every comic book geeks secret desire.
Woody makes the best costume he can, the Condor-Car, the Condor-Boat, etc.
but the best part is that he is having a blast doing it.
You will not be sorry.
I was that annoying guy trying to get the perfect shot with a camera phone.
For me it was an Ark of the Covenant moment; a last chance to digitally capture my youth.
If ever there was a Disney property that is reboot ready,Condormanis that picture.
