Congo Reviews

Strangely, watching the Jane Goodall doc reminded me of this corny 90s action film I liked as a kid. Total nonsense but I enjoyed the nostalgia, Tim Curry’s terrible fake European accent and the sign language speaking ape Amy (a person in a monkey suit lol)

Haven’t seen this since I was a kid. There’s charm in its seriousness despite absurd elements. Killer apes, laser diamonds, talking gorillas, it commits fully. That sincerity, combined with old-school adventure spirit, makes it a cult favorite.

Only thing I really liked was how the lava in the film is handled. Here's a hint, it's super hot, you know like in real life.

I haven’t seen this film in thirty years and I was curious because I remember very little about it. Although not as good as Crichton’s previous film adaptation I believe it is underrated. It has a cast with some big names, good action and solid special effects!

Its a strange one, It’s quite shit but also kinda decent. The concept is laughable but the execution is quite humorous 3/10

matches the energy of the book vs the story, love it

Love this movie. Watched it abunch growing up and enjoyed the cast, acting, effects were scary, and alot of fun.

2/10

A classic 90s adventure movie.

I don’t care how bad this has aged. At the time, I loved it because of Laura Linney, Dylan Walsh, Tim Curry, and Ernie Hudson.
It’s still a favorite to watch now, even though the effects are kind of weak. Still a fun throwback to a different time in films.👍🏻

Amy good gorilla 🫂

This movie is a gem (pun intended) and we honestly don’t give it enough love.

Hidden gem

Loved this as a kid it’s a b movie but a good one

Doesn’t hold up over time, but was a fun watch at the time.

Looking back at it now, I can understand why people thought that the movie was hilarious but back when I watched it when I was the young, this film was absolutely amazing.

Guilty pleasure!

A faithful enough adaptation of the book. Relevant themes and ideas were conveyed. The special effects leave something to be desired.
