Take the visuals of shows like M. A. S. K., the original TMNT, GI Joe, etc... Add in that Stan Lee sprinkle with a traumatic hero origin story (that he gets over super fast except when he can play for the sympathy vote ?) but without the huge backstory, reboots and recasts of the X-Men and you get Condor.

Is it high art? Absolutely not. Is it an outstanding representation of the genre that will draw in fans from far and wide? Nope. But what it *is* is a fun, nostalgic, cartoon film that you can just switch off and watch. It's not trying to be something it's not.

And the fact that the main characters all seem to be Central/South American descent or Pacific Islanders was a nice touch. The last time I remember seeing that sort of representation in cartoons was Captain Planet or Mysterious Cities of Gold (which I haven't seen in years and I'm sure had sooo many problems if we look at it today...)

5/10 for the story as it's literally the stereotype of the hero creation arc. But it gets extra bonus points for the nostalgia (and because I have a huge crush on Wilmer Valderama! ?)

An interesting look at a lesser known superhero. Surprisingly despite the premise of the movie being a little silly there is a lot of depth and maturity to the plot.

It's a great rainy day movie to watch (Probably alone). An excellent standalone movie especially given the rather silly "power" of this superhero.

Low stress and relaxing.

This thing is one of the most clichéd films I have seen in a long time.

The story follows Tony Valdez a skateboarder who losses his parents to their unscrupulous business partner and becomes a vigilante hero in order to avenge them.

Seriously, how many times have we seen this type of back story. The loss of a loved one has been done to death in almost every incarnation of Spiderman and Batman.

Don't worry the clichés continue with the girl that admires him from a distance and dates a rival as rebound.

Another minor problem is the time it takes for the hero to suit up as the Condor.

Now that I have done moaning time for me to talk about the plus side. Well the voice acting is pretty decent and I'd say that a couple of the characters are well written.

As for the animation it's OK, not great but far from terrible.

My final thought is, only watch of you are massive Stan Lee fan or love Superhero movies.
