Congo- Great Adventure Film
This is a terrible movie. Frank Marshall (Arachnophobia) demonstrates no
control over story, actors, effects, or general presentation in this adaptation
of a Michael Crichton novel about an expedition into deep, dark Africa that
runs into an unknown race of killer apes. The big monkeys attack and
attack and attack and have to be fought off with machine guns and lasers--
thats pretty much the story, except theres probably an eve n better one
behind fourth Ghostbuster Ernie Hudsons bizarre decision to speak with a
British accent. While Marshall wants us to root for the human characters,
theyre all so obnoxious and unbelievable you cant help but feel lousy for
the poor apes when they get chopped to bits just for defending their homes
against these twerps. If youre not feeling enough environmentalist ire
these days, watch this and get angry. --Tom Keogh
Congo is a great film. It is just as action packed as Jurassic Park. Some
people complain that the gorillas should have been CGI. But at that time it
wasnt possible to do that. This combined with a 50-60 million dollar
budget. But dont let that get your hopes down.
The gorillas are very well designed and executed and plus the story is
scary at some points. After all, apes can think, and they could set traps
and easily kill the humans that invade their jungle.
While the movie was not as great as the book, it still has a great deal of
entertainment value to it. The movie has some great actors: Dylan Walsh,
Laura Linney, Ernie Hudson, and Tim Curry.
It is a shame that some people dont appreciate this film. Now if this movie
would have gotten a bigger budget and was made in 2000s era, then it
would be even better. Of course, we could always hope that it gets redone
in some way and follows the book more closely.
Anyways, buy this movie. Its worth the price and youll get your
entertainment value out of it as well. Buy now and enjoy.
