Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This time I'm doing a public domain movie from South Korea in the 60's called Yongary. I think it's based on a Korean myth of a dragon living underground Korea. It's also Korea's take on the giant monster movies that were going around at the time. Monster movies like Godzilla and Gamera. I'll talk about Gamera in another review one day but lets not get of track.The plot is when there's an earthquake and a giant monster called yongary comes up from the quake. He does your typical monster stuff, reeking havoc, and destroying stuff. Yongary also ends up eating fossil fuels and even dances a little for some reason as well.Just watch it for yourself and see what you think of it.

This is a rather enjoyable mid-60s Korean monster film, in which a Godzilla-like monster decides to give Tokyo a break for once and ravages Seoul, Korea (maybe the South Koreans would have cheered it on if it had attacked Pyongyang instead??? hmmm...). Anyway among the cast we have a young scientist / astronaut who along with his new wife and her annoying 8 year old brother, try to find a way to stop Yongary from flattening the better part of the capital.The effects are quite low budget but passable for this genre of films. Whenever you see Yongary in a shot coming close to a large building or a bridge, you just know that structure has gotta go! Call it Yongary's plan for the urban renewal of Seoul. Yongary itself is quite obviously some guy in a rubber monster suit who had the joy of smashing his way through flimsy plaster-of-Paris building models.If you go into the film with the understanding that this is a Korean Godzilla ripoff on a low budget, you will not be disappointed and you may enjoy it. Finally I wish to say that the character of Suna, played by actress Jeong-im Nam, was quite beautiful, especially in that red dress... wow

Yongary, Monster from the Deep (1967) ** (out of 4) South Korea comes under attack from a prehistoric creature (obviously looking like Godzilla) who starts to unleash violence so it's up to an overworked scientist and a small child to try and find out its secrets and destroy it. YONGARY, MONSTER FROM THE DEEP isn't a classic by any stretch of the imagination but I think fans of the "monsters-on-the-loose" genre should at least get some mild entertainment out of it. This was clearly influenced by the various Godzilla movies that were out around the time and this includes the monster itself, the story structure, the messages and of course we're even given an annoying kid who of course comes up with a few things about the monster that not even the adults could figure out. The first thirty-minutes of this thing are pretty boring as we're basically given a lot of dialogue scenes and sadly no monster. This introduction to all the human characters was just boring and frankly it was hard to sit through. I never understood why so many of these monster movies had to drag us down with these things especially when the producers knew what the people were really coming to see. Once the monster finally gets on the screen things start to pick up. I thought that the special effects were rather good for this type of film. The monster costume itself wasn't the greatest but it was good enough for a light version of Godzilla. The special effects were somewhat laughable in regards to some of the action scenes that happen towards the end. There's a sequence where Yongary must fight a couple jets and I couldn't help but laugh when he finally destroyed them. Once the jets blew up it looked like they were made out of cardboard. Another funny moment happened after Yongary split an Army vehicle in half and one of the people inside just kneels down begging the monster not to kill him. If you're looking for classic cinema then it's best to stay away from this but if you're just looking for some goofy fun then enjoy.

Nuclear testing in the Middle East awakens the earth-shaker Yongary from the depths of Korean mythology. This medium-sized kaiju is essentially Godzilla with big canines and a rhinoceros horn glued to his snout, and he is about to face the entire South Korean space program, air force, army and a willful eight-year-old. Needless to say, there really isn't much competition and Yongary makes short work of Seoul and everything along the way.The special effects are anything but. The miniatures and cinematography are actually worse than some of the worst Japanese kaiju films of the early '70s. The acting and English dubbing is actually fairly good and the plot is not incoherent, though it is ridiculous.Recommended for silent background play accompanied by your own soundtrack at a house party.
