Review of Rodan (1956) by Brandon R — 24 Mar 2011
With these old giant monster films one has to accept certain realities to enjoy them. The biggest one being, yes those are wires making the wings flap. If you cant ghet past things like that, then you have no buisness watching these types of films. Another one of the realities that Rodan really does well is the use of minitures. Roda really has cool minitures and the scene were Rodan is flapping his wings and taking out the city is pretty damn cool.
The first half of Rodan is pretty creepy with a group of miners being taken out by what is later reavealed to be Dragonfly Larva. I thought these creatures were scary and really added atmosphere to the film.
Ive seen most of these films at one time or another in my early youth on Saturday afternoons, and this is a film I hadnt seen since I was probably 10. And its everybit as entertaining today as it was then.
