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

No comparison to the book, but not bad for a chuckle. Harmless fun with primate puppets.

A completely unintentional laugh riot and, in that sense, top-drawer Crichton.

Watch the opening for Bruce Campbell's death scene, and then run far away.

Ineptly written, feebly acted, clumsily directed yawner of an adventure yarn.
