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.

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

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 Critic A second-rate jungle adventure that delivers far less than it promises.

Top Critic Not the worst adventure flick that I've ever seen, but far from a great one either.

No comparison to the book, but not bad for a chuckle. Harmless fun with primate puppets.
12/31/04
Ineptly written, feebly acted, clumsily directed yawner of an adventure yarn.
01/02/04
This glib, overheated film about vicious primates delivers little suspense...
