I guess in order to like this film, you really have to be into monster/Godzilla movies, and I guess I'm just not one of those people that is…

I love the old Toho movies. Rodan is second only to Godzilla when it comes to the giant monsters…

Rodan is a neat giant monster movie produced by Toho…

Coming 2 years after the first Godzilla movie, this is a total letdown in the kaiju genre…

Review of Rodan (1956)

By Shaun B (772) on 13 Jun 2012

Follow-up to Gojira (aka, Godzilla) by the same director, Ishiro Honda. Relatively decent but obvious cash-in on previous effort…

One of the most entertaining non-Godzilla kaiju films…

Review of Rodan (1956)

By Patrick M (1,282) on 22 Sep 2011

By Elias Savada (386) for Nitrate Online (381) on 01 Jan 2000

The South China Sea's answer to the Bermuda Triangle, but off-the-shelf acting and a hackneyed plot won't keep this oversized barge afloat…

Review of Gunhed (1989)

By Matthew C (1,721) on 23 Dec 2009
