Konga TNT (2020) User Reviews

I found something good to say about this movie

[rwramblings · 1/10 · 5 November 2022]

The one thing I can say about this movie is that for all of the under 3 star rated movies I have watched, this one is now the closest any movie has come to make me refuse to finish it. I watched this movie from beginning to end. I even stopped part way through and came back to finish it off.

Step one is admitting you have a problem. I am a bad-movie-oholic. I know what my problem is, but the entire production team for this movie needs to be committed. I can complain about wardrobe, effects, make-up, writing, whatever, but I won't. There is nothing redeeming about this movie - even for someone who has fun watching bad movies. They tried to be campy, but just came off awkward and dull. I'm pretty sure most of the cast were just the director's next-door-neighbours. The acting really was that annoying.

Just when you thought 2020 could get no worse...

Well, with just a glance at the movie's cover, I was already doubting this movie. But still, I opted to give it a go on the odd chance that the movie might actually be one of those movies that are so bad they are actually fun and enjoyable to watch.

And let me just tell you "Konga TNT" is bad. Oh, it's bad alright. But not in that unique way where it becomes enjoyable. No Sir, this was just plain and downright bad. With a capital B actually.

The storyline was just so unappealing that it was a literal struggle to keep watching the movie. And as for this movie being labeled comedy? Well, sure, why not? Although I didn't laugh once, nor did I even smirk. This was just atrocious.

Then there are the special effects. Wow. That is actually all that is needed to describe the special effects in this movie. The CGI effects looked like discarded 1990s computer graphics that were deemed too bad to be put into computer games back in the 1990s. It was such an eyesore to look at. And the practical effects were just laughable at best.

As for the acting in "Konga TNT", well you get what you would expect from a movie such as this. Consider that a fair warning.

This is without a doubt one of the worst movies that made it out of 2020. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time, money or effort on "Konga TNT". Some of us did, unfortunately, so you don't have to. My rating of "Konga TNT" lands on a one out of ten stars.

What did I just watch...

[ezgolucky · 1/10 · 20 March 2021]

OK this is a really bad movie. The main star is basically a person in a monkey suit and for close ups- a stuffed monkey. There should be a lawsuit brought against the film makers for false advertisement. Stay far away from this one...

Even if it's supposed to be stupid, the filmmakers still should have tried harder

[Jeremy_Urquhart · 1/10 · 3 February 2023]

I owe an apology to every movie I've criticised prior to this day, because I'm not sure any were as bad as this miserable thing.

It's dire and incompetent stuff right from its opening scene, and it somehow gets worse from there. The humour couldn't be less funny, and not even the audio manages to be balanced and listenable.

I thought it could be schlocky, stupid fun - at least in parts - but there isn't a single second of this movie that's admirable or even redeemable.

Embarrassing, boring, and so lame I would rather rewatch one of the Channel Awesome movies than rewatch this. I am embarrassed for everyone in it and felt embarrassed watching it.

Don't even let your worst enemy watch Konga TNT. Going forward, my life has been affected for the worse by having seen it.

Worst movie in the history of mankind!

[harleydan-12659 · 1/10 · 11 January 2023]

I was searching for the 1961 Konga movie I had seen as a kid when I stumbled upon this trash. My 7 year old daughter can make a better movie than this garbage. I was hoping I could rate this with no stars but was forced to make a selection.

The first time I started watching this I lasted about 2 minutes. I decided to give it another go thinking it can't get any worse. I was incorrect. There is no acting in this movie. Cheesy dialog.

If there is one, somewhat positive thing I can say about this movie is that it's only going to take less than 75 minutes to get thru this.

Consider yourself warned if you choose to watch this.

Is there a minus star?

[stockforsale · 1/10 · 18 March 2021]

I really can't imagine why people would waste there time doing this movie and can't they see what they are doing?? The dialogue in the movie in the first minute was sooo bad! The effects I saw in the first 2min was enough to know what was coming. I had to stop it.

is it over ??

[moonnight072 · 1/10 · 21 March 2021]

After watching it for 1min 15 sec i knew it was going to be bad. cgi ,acting , story. to put in in perspective, we know astylum makes bad movies with a gem once in a wile but this,its ever worse then an asylum movie at its worse. they called it fx but its far from that.save your selfng it. its 1 hour and 15 min your never going to get back and watch something else

Ugh

[randazzojohnj · 1/10 · 12 October 2021]

This is one the worst movies I've ever forced myself to watch. Over several days. Forced myself. So that it would be removed from my prime watch list. I mean, it ranks with the very worst ever.

It is so bad.

Warning.

A puppet....

[ryandawhite · 1/10 · 23 July 2022]

The monkey is a puppet. I couldn't believe my eyes when the monkey was revealed. They seriously walk around with a hand puppet in some of the scenes. I honestly have no words for what I just watched. I'm ashamed I watched the whole thing. I brought dishonor to my family and I will carry this shame for the rest of my life. Don't be like me. Don't watch this movie.

UNWATCHABLE JUNK

[sangomiguel · 1/10 · 6 April 2021]

This movie looks like it was made in Windows Movie Maker by a bunch nihilst highschool kids.

First time IN MY LIFE that I give a 1 star raiting.

If you have rated 1 star or 2 stars before, you should wach this and it'll make you reconsider what the bottom of the barrel is.

Stop Pretending To Make Films And Go Away!

[byor · 2 March 2024]

We get it Brett Kelly, you can photoshop really fun looking movie posters on your computer that can actually trick people into watching your (ahem) "movies" and pay you their hard earned money to rent them, which obviously will never be returned no matter much a refund is deserved after sitting through even one minute of your garbage.

These are not movies. Something somebody can shoot (probably even better) on their phone and post online in a day or two is not automatically a movie just because the picture looks like it's moving.

Just because you take advantage of something well known being within the public domain to try to give your desperate attempts at fake filmmaking some semblance of legitimacy does not make your drivel real movies or you a real director.

You are lying to yourself and worse to your viewers who you trick into paying you money expecting something you promise to deliver but don't even come close.

Look at your poster Brett and then rewatch your own movie then look in the mirror and be honest with yourself, is this a movie? Is it anything remotely like what your poster promises? Is it even remotely watchable? Is it "so bad it's good" or enjoyable on any level whatsoever? Are you a filmmaker? Really? No, really Brett?

Do us and yourself a favour and stop taking making posters that lie just to trick people into watching something you know they would never pay a nickel to see otherwise. Horrible sound and picture quality with a cheap a** camera pointed at literally a stuffed monkey does not a movie make, unless you can write a funny script (you can't) or have super talented stars (you don't) or decent effects (not remotely). Do you even pay any of the actors in your "movies"? I doubt it but you really should, because I bet they expect to get credited in a real movie but then you deliver this.

Do you really make enough money doing this to make it worthwhile? All the poster lies and the obvivous humiliation you must feel every time someone actually watches one of your fake films and you get found out as a total poser?

I like bad movies when they are still enjoyable, but what is not and has never been enjoyable is when someone deliberately makes a piece of garbage like this without even really trying just to con innocent movie lovers out of a quick buck.

Shame on you for the awful videos you have foisted upon us. We all deserve so much better. Full refunds at the very least. But even then how can we ever get our precious time back Brett!?

It's so bad it's brilliant!

[rpddrhgp · 10/10 · 17 May 2022]

Watched this during the height of lockdown and it was just the tonic needed at a bleak time. It's was so bad it had us in tears of laughter. The "Megan Bacon" character had us giggling every time she appeared. Worth a watch if you fancy a laugh.

ZERO RATING

[constantine768 · 1/10 · 17 March 2021]

EVEN INDIAN DAILY SOAP AND FANTASY TV SHOWS HAVE EFFECTS AND DIALOGUES BETTER THAN THIS

"Enough is enough! I have to find that monkey!"

[classicsoncall · 1/10 · 3 October 2023]

Just so there's no mistaking how I felt about this movie - it was beyond stupid! Of the fifteen reviewers here as I came to make my comments (I'm the sixteenth), thirteen rated this a '1', while the other two gave it a '10' in a sympathy vote. Viewer 'geoffmakousky' knows he's not fooling anybody. Good review, by the way.

I really can't describe how horrid this was. No name actors, insipid dialog, a stuffed animal for the baby monkey, a feeble attempt at campy humor, I could go on but there's no point. Can't forget the guy in the gorilla suit, but you know that going in. The DVD cover of the movie I got didn't match the one here on IMDb. It actually showed a ferocious, rampaging gorilla that bore not a hint of resemblance to the ape in this picture. If you can keep yourself from gagging while watching this, I commend your fortitude.

You know, I thought the flicks in 'My Top Ten Worst Movies of All Time' were pretty much a lock until I came across this turkey. I had to bounce "Gappa, The Triphibian Monster" to make room for this one, moving it right into sixth place. If I can save you some time and energy, take my advice. There is no redeeming value in watching this film, if that's what you want to call it.

Wow

[chandlermjames · 1/10 · 19 May 2022]

This is the best movie I have ever seen! CGI is on point, everything about this movie is well made. They must have spent a lot of money on this film. Jokes aside, this movie looks like someone made it in their backyard and filmed with an IPhone 4. Worst thing I have ever seen.

Are you kidding me.........

[farrell_hank · 1/10 · 23 March 2023]

This tops my list as thee number 1 movie to watch, oops, I mean to NOT watch LOL. My rating is 1 out of 1,000,000 not 1 out of 10. Bad everything. It has to be the worst movie ever made. The acting is so bad, that even at the end when the military was trying to kill Konga, the one kid should have had a worried look on his face. He was smiling. I was thinking of bidding on this movie on Ebay, but I am glad I saw the ratings and tried to watch it on Prime. I am a big Godzilla, Kong, Gamera and all of the other Japanese movies fan, even the bad ones. Although there were some bad ones of these movies, they were still entertaining. This movie is not worth wasting my time on. I feel the approximately 5 min. I spent skimming thru this movie on Prime, I can never get back. Save your money. DO NOT buy this movie. If I were you I would not even waste my time watching it for free. It's 1hr & 15min you will never get back.

KONGA!

[BandSAboutMovies · 3/10 · 23 November 2023]

Not only is this a kaiju movie, it's also a comic book movie. Based on the Charlton Comics series Konga, which was an adaptation of the movie Konga and had 24 issues of art by Steve Ditko, this movie was made during COVID-19 lockdown by Brett Kelly, who also made Ouija Shark, Raiders of the Lost Shark, Agent Beetle (which is based on the Dan Garret Blue Beetle), Planet Blood and so many other movies. It uses stuff shot by friends and fans as well as stock footage and footage Brett shot himself.

The laws of public domain are always wild. The Konga comic book came out a year before the movie and is the first appearance of the ape. None of the Charlton Comics had renewed copyrights, placing them into the public's hands, so this movie could be made while an adaption of the movie couldn't.

After getting injected with a formula from an alien ship, a gorilla escapes and makes friends with Chance and Grayson. Then he grows to monstrous size and the boys have to figure out how to stop him before the government kills him. One way they try to help is by dressing Chance as a hot dog and trying to lure Konga away from the military.

I warn you that this movie is made with a stuffed animal and a monkey suit. If you're expecting the poster to be real, you should not watch this. It also has characters with names like Megan Bacon (Ellen Mildred) and Major Bummer (Trevor Payer). Speaking of Major Bummer, someone took the time to complain about how his medals are incorrect on IMDB, which is hilarious, because of all things in this movie to complain about, they took the time to navigate the difficult-to-use IMDB database to remind the filmmaker that he was so wrong and that the character "wears the four stripes of a Navy Captain, not an Army, Air Force or Marine Major's gold leaf." I assume the same person also wrote about how the jets were wrong in a movie where a stuffed monkey becomes a 50 foot kaiju simian.

Not a Movie

[ronnieyearwood · 2/10 · 19 March 2024]

This is not really a movie and should not be listed here in my opinion the poster looks like a "good bad movie" experience but it is a lie. The actual video is just a stuffed animal monkey (no really I am not exaggerating), and they somehow didn't even get anything funny out of it. I honestly feel terrible for the entire crew and everyone appearing in this movie because there is literally no way anybody could actually save this steaming pile of celluloid, or look good for being involved with it, and I bet they all donated their time to this travesty. Still not enough characters? Ok, I bet you everyone not to try to watch this, it seems tempting to watch as a bad movie but it is deliberately terrible in an impossible to watch way and not in a fun to laugh at kind of way.

A brave venture, excellently crafted.

[geoffmakousky · 10/10 · 17 February 2023]

I'm sure you've read the other reviews and think you have an understanding of what Konga TNT brings to our cultural zeitgeist, but you've been mislead my friend. From the moment you see the cover image fly by as you scroll the bottom of the Amazon listing to the final frame Konga TNT is a tour de force of unbridled creativity.

You might think that the dirty, shabby looking sets, awkward, overweight, and makeup free actors hamming their way from scene to scene is some sort of mistake but you couldn't be more wrong. The lifeless stuffed toy being tossed around by what look like the children of 1830's dirt farmers represents the utter and complete malaise of Hollywood and everyone who watches mainstream media.

Konga TNT is everything that is right and true in this world, there can be no other cinema as pure and free as the writer, producer and out of work handyman that is the guy who made this thing.

Can you imagine the hubris it took to not only shoot, but edit, master and send this monstrosity to Amazon!? This is next level movie making at its absolute finest. Ed Wood would be proud. We should all take note on how utterly unbothered the actors, producers and investors in this project are. Can you imagine taking part in this film? You can't and that's why you'll never amount to anything.

From the laughable effects, to the stock footage of a Kazakhstani airport, to the unkempt backyard at no point do you see these amazing creators shy away from their tear soaked vision.

This is the best movie of the decade, by far, and I you don't agree then just sing these immortal words to yourself until you agree "boys will be boys will be boys will be boys."

Until next time gentlereader, Geoffrey.
