A Godzilla like creature strikes out at the Korean people in this new type of comedy/horror picture straight from the silly folks who also brought those weird candies and crackers that you can only find in New York. The movie starts out pretty quick and gets the viewer asking for more right from the start. Of course America is the bad guy in this film. The creature develops from a bunch of chemicals being spilled into a river. Somehow within 5 years or so, the creature is this huge monster who goes unnoticed for years, and just one decides to start collecting humans. Sorry I want to know how exactly this creature had never bothered the population of humans that have lived so close and then one day he decides to attack and eat tons of people. The beginning starts out with it going back and forth across the river view attacking people everywhere. The main characters are a little to annoying to love. From the silly father who can't get anything right, to the grandfather who never really speaks up. Then we have the college hero who for some reason is doing the right things, just in the wrong way. Lastly is the national archer champion who is to slow to like.
The movie is funny no-doubt, but I'm not sure if it's suppose to be funny at some parts where the father is being tortured and withheld while the family is trying to save their daughter who was abducted by the creature and after long thought dead called them from a sewer somewhere on along the river that was being protected by the government. It has some interesting concepts with America dumping waste, trying to cover-up as if they know what's going on, and not really helping the people involved; but being more concern about those who haven't been affected yet.
The main character is funny, no-doubt, but kind of annoying funny after the movie drags on and on with little creature action. It is one of the few movies that introduce the creature right from the start and slowly take it away as the movie goes on. The comedy will keep anyone entertained if you are in a good mood for this kind of movie. Still the movie definitely over played its true length. Make it 20-25 minutes shorter, explain what happens with the characters a bit more and have the creature attack the military as they search for it. Then you have got yourself a classic King-Kong/Godzilla movie. Instead they try and stray away from the classic style, and make a mockery out of the characters. Although one of the most classical movie scenes of complete satire was involving the family as they all fall to the ground crying, kicking and punching at the mass funeral for their lost daughter. Give or take about 3 years before this movie has an American spin-off. I give this a 3.5 out of 5.
