Review of Congo (1995) by Movielonely94 — 22 Mar 2011
I have read Michael Crichton's excellent books and Steven Spielberg helped him turn one of his greatest creations "Jurassic Park" into a worldwide success in 1993. So, as you can imagine, I've never heard/seen this movie before, but what I do know is it was based on a fantastic book. With a book that good, Michael Crichton sold his film rights once again to Hollywood but it turns out that they didn't get Steven Spielberg. Instead, Frank Marshall took the project.
I've heard that the critics gave negative reviews about this movie, so I think that this movie deserves a 5/10.
Because the only good things that I found entertaining about this movie was those cool laser guns, the Animaltronics, and the actors Bruce Campbell and Ernie Hudson.
The only bad things were the unexplained plot holes, the clichés, the lack and style of the plot, and the poor storytelling.
It wasn't good and it wasn't bad. It was just very mediocre for a movie adaptation of a well-known Michael Chrichton book.
For adults, they won't be impressed, but for kids, it definitely worth a watch.
