CONGO(1995)
This is a poor man's King Kong/Indiana Jones/High Road To
China/Star Wars/Allan Quatermain!! Not terrible, and with
the right actors(save, perhaps Ernie Johnson) and a better
script I believe this could have been just as good as any
of those great films! But it didn't and it wasn't! Not terrible,
but no need to watch it over and ovver!! B-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I've never read the Crichton novel despite being a fan but
this film adaptation is pretty fun. I know it's been criticised
heavily but I enjoyed the background to the story and Crichton's
exploration of cutting-edge science and research as always.
The cast members are likeable, Ernie Hudson in particular,
and the Bruce Campbell cameo is a nice touch. - Leofwine_draca
