Well, I got to see North Korea's take on the giant monster genre with "Pulgarasi" a movie that was created literally because the country's leader kidnapped a director and now I see South Korea's take on it. I admit to being confused as to how this one is actually worse. I guess when you're being forced to do something, you have to work harder. This movie features a giant monster named Yongary attacking South Korea. The actual monster doesn't appear until a third into the movie, which is actually better than most giant monster movies. The thing is, it's very poorly done.
It's mostly because we just get cheesy scene after cheesy scene of Yongary being attacked over and over. There are a few times where it seems to die, only for us to unfortunately find out it's just going to give us more movie. It's dumb how they try to make it sympathetic, but then admit they have to kill it. I can literally easily see the tube inside the monster's mouth where the fire comes out! That might have been a deliberate part of the monster as it looked too cheesy to even be fake. The models are ugly looking and sometimes the people really do appear to be as large as the actual monster. *1/2
