Reviews for Congo
Revel in the sheer insanity and unique humor of this cracking jungle adventure.

A lighthearted, good old-fashioned jungle adventure.
05/14/03
It's fairly ridiculous (the apes are clearly people in suits), but it's light and brisk and fun, with a nice open-air feel.

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.

A splendid example of a genre no longer much in fashion, the jungle adventure story.

Top CriticNo comparison to the book, but not bad for a chuckle. Harmless fun with primate puppets.
12/31/04
A second-rate jungle adventure that delivers far less than it promises.

In stupidity, this movie ranks up there among the greats.

Not funny bad, just bad bad. The worst adaptation of a Michael Crichton book so far.
04/28/03
Crichton novel [is] trivialized to the point of spoof.
01/01/00
Feels as if the picture were edited to leave the action sequences in while removing any connecting material that might have helped them make sense.

Top CriticThis is slick, big-budget Hollywood hokum at its most ridiculous.
