Pretty much every movie based on a Crichton novel except the first Jurassic Park and the original 1971 adaptation of The Andromeda Strain. Every other one has been awful (including The Lost World which is so far from the book it shouldn't even get to be called "based on").
Edit: After sleeping on it, I don't know if the movie adaptations are objectively awful or if I was just unimpressed because I read the novel first for all of them.
Except that the first Jurassic Park movie is only one small part of the book and they never let Hammond get eaten like he was supposed to.
Endless disappointment on that front, but I still love the movies.
Oh, I didn't mean it was perfect, just acceptable. lol
I'm still holding out for a streaming mini-series that is a 1:1 adaptation of the book. I just can't let that dream go.
I agree it is acceptable, I don't often miss an opportunity for a marathon- it just isn't really true to the book, it's more like bits of the book are scattered throughout the movies.
And I'm really upset that Hammond didn't get eaten cause that would have been awesome.
I've never read Congo, but I enjoyed the movie.
Stop eating my sesame cake.

I've read it but never seen the movie. lol. Based on the other bad adaptations, I assumed it was one as well. Will check it out sometime!
Haha. I was hoping you could comment on the movie. Oh well - I hope you do enjoy it!
The movie may be ridiculous, but it is also fabulous.
