Indeed, this film is normally a little bit above the passing line. As a commercial film, the foreshadowing is so long. The director also failed to convey his thoughts and intentions too clearly.

This time the monster went to South Korea, because Anne Hathaway’s handwork was done in South Korea, and was trampled by a bad boy. Annie made a big monster with a literal sky thunder and fire.

The last time I saw this kind of plot was in "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya".

Twenty-five years later, the bad boy once again destroyed the capital of the sticks with his feet. The footprints in a few bunkers successfully made my brain fill the scene of the monster movie. Although superficial, it was also successful.

As for the issues discussed in the film, in fact, it is not very resonant. At best, the audience can identify with the level of "inferiority" a little bit, and the change in attitude towards the villain may feel very abrupt. Is this the director's pot?

Why don't we watch it in conjunction with another well-known movie-"The Savage Story". This victory created a very good sense of'absurdity' and increased the rationality of anger. Coupled with the stories that I love to hear, it is indeed much higher than the Crosso monster, so that the audience who is not so sensitive can also have fun.

Kroso also wanted to create a sense of absurdity through monsters, and also wanted to show some audiences (monsters) happily, and then successfully aroused the anger of audiences who wanted to watch monster movies. (I'm just happy to make such an assertion.)

To some extent, this may be more successful.
