Purely Joyful Movie!

Brilliant and touching

Best movie ever!

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Really wish it was as good as the book. Good actors though.

Moon river, Lucy Liu and diamonds're forever. I still remember the punch line one of the main characters in this movie when he said that The Hidden Temple of King Solomon had never existed, so he had to buy diamonds in Tiffany like everybody else. Tim Curry, vampire Clown from Steven King's most popular book is so scary even without make up like in movie It (1990th ). In this movie he plays Romanian explorer who thinks that The Hidden Temple is full of diamonds which protect killer monkeys.

Congo is a silly safari adventure. Almost King Solomon Mines meets Jurassic Park (with wild apes and gorillas instead of dinosaurs.) Based on a Michael Crichton novel, this was made when Crichton was hot property back in the 1990s.Director Frank Marshall better known as a producer for Steven Spielberg movies was not a strong enough director to make a serious adventure film opting accidentally for camp and cheese.When an expedition to discover rare diamonds in the Congo go missing. A scientist is sent in to find out what happened especially as one of the missing men was her fiancé. She joins a crew that consists of a primatologist who is taking a trained talking gorilla back to the wild and a Romanian treasure hunter trying to locate the lost city of Zinj.When they arrive they meet their expert guide but are captured by a local militia leader and have to bribe themselves out of trouble.The guide tells the group that other expeditions to find the 'Lost City of Zinj' have ended in disaster.Laura Linney and Dylan Baker are bland in the lead roles, out-acted by the talking gorilla. It is left to Tim Curry to ham it up as the Romanian Herkermer Homolka and Ernie Hudson in the great white African adventurer role, Captain Munro Kelly who happens to be black with an English accent. He steals the show.

The movie Congo is hushedly giantly appealing; Congo's viewing is very attractive for some reasons. Congo has these beautiful landscapes with great 'geothermal' colors, first-class budgeted production effects, and an awesomely themed story about killer gorillas, silver, killer gorillas at that. People are profoundly interested in the great apes, curious to know their ways, how smart that they are, and if they're dangerous or not. Congo interests in that. Also, Congo's a gentle, unmalicious viewing which so helps in strengthening its gorier moments, and it's backed by a drastically popular novel, oh, and it has lava! All this, and what else, makes it very largely appealing. Ooo! Ooo! I know what else! The beautiful Laura Linney! I can't forget about her! She's, really like, perfect, for the part. This is Linney's great starring role in Congo. I think she knocked it out of the park. Laura is more infatuating in a leading role than she is in her supporting roles even. Once the team gets to the Congo, Congo starts getting better. If you're expecting some Hollywood blockbuster typical-type movie, you're not gonna get it here. Is it just me, or do gorilla suits look exactly like real gorillas?
