Other movies have tried to duplicate Congo's juvenile sense of adventure and tongue-in-cheek humor (most notably the two Mummy movies), but none of them have surpassed Congo as one of the most gleefully preposterous and deliriously fun yarns I've ever seen. I like Congo because it's different: in the seven years since I first saw it in June of 1995, I've seen countless other movies, but Congo still retains its uniqueness, I believe. Because so many people dislike Congo, or are at least indifferent to it, I feel compelled to explain why I like it. If I could choose only ten movies to own, or even just five, Congo would be one of them. I am giving it this distinction because, although it is not the best movie I have ever seen, nor my all-time favorite movie, it is one of my personal favorites nonetheless. Congo is the first movie on the IMDB for which I am writing a user comment.
