Congo was part of the wave of creature feature movies that followed Jurassic Park.
Anaconda, Lake Placid, etc. All chasing a high they had no chance of ever reaching. They’re all a bit shit, but I can’t help have some nostalgia for them.
The biggest issue with Congo is that it was advertised with the Jurassic park name attached to it. “FROM THE WRITER OF JURASSIC PARK!” so it was always gonna be a let down compared to Jurassic park. They didn’t let it stand on its own
