Review of Rodan (1956) by Jason J — 18 Sep 2010
Coming 2 years after the first Godzilla movie, this is a total letdown in the kaiju genre. There's too much padding going in the storyline which is full of irrelevant scenes and it's fairly boring until the final third when Rodan start smashing up a city by using the power of it's wings.
That was really good with some impressive model work and special effects. The ending is a bit crap with not one but two Rodan monsters committing suicide in the aftermath of a volcanic eruption created by the army.
Think I'll stick to the Godzilla movies, much better than this one.
