Review of Congo (1972) by Alexander C — 10 Nov 2012
Essentially a modern update of a H. Rider Haggard type of jungle adventure story. Depending upon your liking for this type of story will determine your enjoyment level of the film. It's not exactly "Jurassic Park", but it's got a solid cast (Laura Linney, Tim Curry, Ernie Hudson, Joe Pantoliano, Delroy Lindo, Dylan Walsh, Bruce Campbell and Joe Don Baker), plenty of action and a whole lot of actors in gorilla suits.
I enjoyed the movie for some reason, but it's definitely more Johnny Weissmuller than "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in terms of quality.
