Space Monster Wangmagwi is a fun ride, especially if you're a diehard Kaiju fan, particularly during the Showa era. The film was inspired by the likes of Godzilla and King Kong during the massive kaiju boom of the sixties and seventies. Definitely not without its faults, but this was a very enjoyable film for me. Considered lost for many years, it survived in Korean archives and would be shown here and there, but not often. I have been a kaiju fan for 30+ years and grew up on Showa era Godzilla films and I also run a Kaiju podcast called Kaiju Karnage. By no means does that make me an authority on these classic films, just making the point that I love these type of films. If you love these old classic kaiju/science fiction films as much as I do, give this film a shot.
