Truly Dreadful Film

Amateur movie with Big budget

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Before I start this review, let me let you guys know that this review may contain a few spoiler alerts, viewer discretion is advised. Reptilian (or Yonggary) is a 2001 remake of the 1960s classic Yonggary. Yonggary was Korea's answer to Godzilla. The story in this movie is about an ancient monster called "Yonggary" gets resurrected by the aliens from outer space, the aliens have control over Yonggary and they made him go out destroying the town. Then towards the end of the film, one of the soldiers destroyed the crystal on Yonggary's forehead, then later, we get another monster & it's also from the aliens. Now let's see if I would recommend this film or not. Pros: -None at all Cons: -Horrible acting -Bad plot -Very mediocre final battle scene -Poor CGI effects (Yonggary looks like something I can expect from a Dreamcast game) -Boring soundtrack -Bad cinematography -Bad cover design Overall, this movie gets a 2 out of 10. This movie is worse than Godzilla 1998, both of these movies should be avoided at all costs, but again, I'll rather watch Godzilla 1998 than this god-awful ugly Korean rip-off. The endRated PG-13 for some violence & mild coarse language.

Bad acting, Bad CGI, Bad Plot, Badly thought out Aliens. The only thing saving it from a 1 rating is that it has Rocket Rangers (not what they call them, but you know what I mean when I say it). They are, of course, poorly done and poorly thought out - but I have trouble giving a really crappy rating to any movie featuring a squad of jet-pack equipped soldiers. Of course the Aliens make it impossible to give any rating higher. They can teleport and mind-control the monster, blast cities, and have been around for 200+ million years and yet they are defeated because without mind control Yonggary (the fire-breathing monster) is good and like humanity.The climactic final CGI battle occurs when the Aliens send in a tentacle-using electric Turtle (the writers must be watching too much Hentai) that Yonggary blows up by shooting a fireball into the shell while the electric turtle has its head withdrawn. Overall, just say no.

"Yonggary" is a pretty amusing film about a big lizard from Korea named Yonggary.It's a fine example of giant monster flick that will keep most monster lovers entertained.The special effects are horrible,but they are still fun to watch.The script by Marty Poole is laughable.The acting by a bunch of unknowns is not too hot,either.The film features giant monsters,car chases,exploding jets and helicopters,spaceships and space aliens,so kids won't be disappointed.I love horror movies,but this one is surely nothing special.Avoid it,but if you have enough time to waste...4 out of 10.

The good of this film is that the monster effects, artistically speaking, are excellent despite other reviews likely to be contrary. The bad news is the acting...whether its the direction or the talent, it doesn't matter. This one begs for the MST3K treatment. How can I differ so greatly with others on the effects issue? Well, from an artistic view, the drawings, as it were... the creative product of creatures, their movement, spacecraft and their activity and effects alone, are in fact elegant. The creature actually dodges attacks fluidly, something rarely seen in city crunching monster flicks. The reason other reviewers may well be harsh on the same subject is that these selfsame creatures and effects are poorly applied to the canvas so-to-speak. As though the glue on a paste-up were showing around the edges of the artwork. A direct description would be, the effects are translucent appearing and must be judged apart from the film itself... no really they must be judged apart ... because the effects LOOK like they ARE apart from the film. Too bad... the bad news out-weighs the good when the storytelling presentation is finally viewed.
