Reviews for Congo
Not funny bad, just bad bad. The worst adaptation of a Michael Crichton book so far.

If you want to dwell on details, you won't like this film, but if you just sit back and relax and try not to be crabby, it is a lot of fun.

An anachronistic mess made of cliched characters and situations...
09/24/01
The entire tone of the book has been transformed from tension to tongue-in-cheek with dismal results.

Top CriticIn stupidity, this movie ranks up there among the greats.
01/01/00
Crichton novel [is] trivialized to the point of spoof.
01/01/00
This is slick, big-budget Hollywood hokum at its most ridiculous.
01/01/00
The least interesting adventure ever filmed.
01/01/00
In every frame, it aspires to be a theme park.
01/01/00
This is easily the worst filmed version of anything penned by the prolific author.
01/01/00
If you have a highly developed sense of the absurd and an appreciation for movie clichés, then you'll find Congo a hoot.
01/01/00
Suffers from a preposterous set-up and even more ludicrous plot developments.
01/01/00
Seriously dumbed-down version of the novel.
01/01/00
As you stand there with your $7, ask yourself, 'Do I really want to see a rubber gorilla smoke a cigar?' If necessary, ask yourself twice.
