one of the worst movies ever

I wouldn't by any means call this one of the worst movies ever. I think a more appropriate title for it would be "One of the worst Crichton adaptations ever." In fact, I'd call it the second worst Crichton adaptation, after The Lost World.

Now, don't misunderstand me, The Lost World is one of my all time favourite movies, but it bares very little resembelance to the novel. Congo is a bit closer to the source, but they've changed so much of it that it is a terrible movie compared to the book.

However, I believe that as a stand alone Congo is a fairly decent movie. My advice is don't read the book then see the movie right after, or vice versa.

This movie wasted 109 precious minutes of my life. I want them back. :(

Watch more movies. This is no where near the worst movie ever. Try something called "Scarecrow 2" or amazingly lame along those lines. This movie, while not a life changing experience, was entertaining and fun. Seriously, for this to be in your top 5, you must have been film deprived most of your life.

I loved this movie in all of its cheesetastic glory.

Tim Curry! Ernie Hudson! Delroy Lindo! Bruce Campbell! Joe Don Baker! What's not to love?!

B-grade creature features are my guilty pleaure. Want to see a really bad movie? Try Komodo 2.

Have a nice day!

I actully like this movie, I don't it deserves such a low score and I watch it all the time and it never gets old.Not great, but is a good movie and not some crap movie like alot of people think.

i READ ALL THESE COMMENTS AND i SEE NOTHING BUT IGNORANCE IN MOVIE KNOWLEDEGE.
YOU PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MANY POINTS OF VIEW, WORST, YOU ONLY HAVE 1 AND THAT'S MINES KNOW IN MOVIE CRITICAL IS LOW.

THIS MOVIE WAS VERY WELL DONE, IT WAS A GOOD HISTORY, IT HADED BOTH ACTION, HUMOR ( IF YOU HAVE GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR), SHOWING AFRICAN CULTURE, THE JUNGLE, AND SOME CALMED PARTS THAT WERE VERY NICE TO SEE.

BUT YOU JUST FOLKS, PREFER TO WATCH KILLING AND KILLING AND KILLING ( WELL ME TOO, BUT SOMETIMES YOU AHVE TO MADE ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW, NOT JUST ONE, LIKE MOST OF YOU, WHO HAVE POSTED HERE)

YOU DON'T EVEN SEE THE BEAUTY OF VARIATION IN HERE. YOU HATE THIS MOVIE IN NUMBERS CAUSE IT'S MAYBE TO COMPLICATED FOR YOU FOLKS.

ALL PEOPLE WANT SIMPLE MOVIES, WITH ONE AHEADED STORY

THIS ONE MIGHT HAVE ITS MISTAKE, BUT EVERY MOVIE HAS ITS MISTAKES. BEFORE MAKING SUCH COMMENTS, THINK ABOUT IT AND DON'T WASTE SPACE AND TIME WRITING WORDS THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL.

THIS MOVIE SHALL BE RATED 7 AT LEAST, CAUSE ITS A VERY VARIATED MOVIE.

THE PEOPLE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND THIS MESSAGE KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
THE REST, WELL, YOU CAN CRITIC ALL WHAT YOU WANT, THOUGH YOUR WORDS ARE WORTH NOTHING.

then ur a dick, i loved this movie. it was fun, crazy and just cool. it's my fav next to maximum overdrive.
