This video here has some very brief footage of the original Yonggary suit at the very end, when Yonggary falls to the ground. The film would've been so much better if they didn't replace the costumes with that terrible CGI.

When someone tells me which one I prefer between Godzilla 1998 and this movie, I would have prefered Godzilla 1998. This is basically Yongary with "took Yon out of Yongary" like what the 1998 film did to Godzilla where he "took God out of Godzilla".

Plus I didn't expect the CGI effects going to be bad since it has a high budget, even cheap movies like Mega Shark still beats those effects, they should have chosen filming the scenes on suitmation instead.

The sad thing is that they originally did use suitmation. It was only after that they replaced it with CGI and effectively ruined the movie. There's a few very short clips of the suit still out there somewhere on YouTube, though that version of the movie is pretty much impossible to come by.

My Thoughts: Reptilian

Oh, how does one describe "Reptilian"?

The acting? Eh... No worse than your typical Sy-Fy/Asylum flick. The characters? They're likable in that poorly-acted-B-movie-character sort of way. The story? It's your typical kaiju-under-alien-control storyline. Nothing new in that regard.

No, the most obvious area of discussion concerning this film is its special effects. Yongary's new design is okay, but I'd of preferred something closer to the original. It seems the film's creators were emulating the most negative aspects of the '98 Godzilla remake in that regard. As for the CG... Wow, is the CGI bad. I mean, it's the kind of bad that's surpassed only by that awkwardly animated TV CGI from the mid and late 90's.

But, you know... that really only adds to the film's charm. It's like watching a modern contemporary of movies like "The Giant Claw", where half the fun is looking at this bizarre attempt at making a life-like creature.

So, I actually recommend this flick. If you're a serious kaiju fan, you have to have an appetite for the cheesy and outlandish, both of which this film has in abundance.

Also... Dat poster!

The reason that is so depressing is because this is one of the most expensive Korean movies ever made. Let that sink in. This abominable film is one of the most expensive Korean movies ever made.
