Review by The Ninja Master This Korean monster movie wasn't what I was expecting. That's never good, since I expect awesome. It did have it's moments though, and could have been quite enjoyable for some viewers. THINGS THIS MOVIE CONTAINED: A mutated sea monster, a crappy cell phone, a lot of sewers. THINGS THIS MOVIE DID NOT CONTAIN: Peewee Herman, a Lamp made of Cheese (seriously, invention waiting to happen), the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man. Untrue Fact: All the characters in this movie are actually played by one very talented Octopus named Tenticleese. The Review: Well, I went into this one expecting to see a monster movie. When I say monster movie, I mean big, mean, ugly monster tearing through town eating everyone and everything. The beginning of the movie makes absolutely no sense realistically, but after that it seems to pick up. The monster comes out and trashes everyones shit real hardcore. It's not as huge as I thought, but hey, it's eating people. After this awesome scene, I'm thinking "sweet, this thing will probably grow bigger and ravage everyone." Nope. That's where the movie started to let me down. This is not to say it's a bad movie. It's actually a decent movie, but it's not the monster movie I was hoping for. The monster barely shows up at all for the rest of the movie, and doesn't really do a whole lot of anything. I know, what the heck? Instead the movie focuses on this family trying to rescue their little girl, who the monster took to the sewers where it lives. She's still alive down there scavenging dead bodies. But before they ever get near the monster, they have all kinds of government and family issues to work out. As the movie becomes more of a social commentary than a monster flick, my interest wanes. It was well put together, but when you're all pumped up after that first awesome scene, it's kind of a let down. There are some emotionally powerful scenes with the family, and I'm sure someone can appreciate this movie a lot more than I did. Check it out, but don't expect the next big Godzilla. There is a void in my heart, and that void can only be filled by giant monsters slaughtering innocent people. Is that so much to ask? Complaints: The Monster (at least there was one) should have been about 1338478141 times bigger, had tentacles, and drank the entire ocean in one gulp. That would be pretty fun to watch. On a side note: The Ninja Master poured toxic chemicals in the ocean too, just like in this film, but no giant mutant came out to randomly eat people. Another experiment failed. I did catch an excellent Sea Bass, however, while waiting for my mutant sea creature. It weighed 7 tons, strangely.
