Starts out interesting and just loses steam. Rodan is pretty cool though

I really liked this one. From stunning backdrops, to great special effects and miniature work Rodan is perfects the closest the franchise gets to the feel of the original Godzilla. 

Whilst both movies don’t share the exact same theme, they do both have an ending that’s clearly not meant to be interpreted as happy. With the original movie we get to stop Godzilla’s ramp with yet another weapon of mass destruction. Whilst here, the death of both Rodans comes with the sacrifice of the forest and valley of the area. AND the loss of life for all three Kaiju isn’t seen as a true victory as well.

It honestly feels so depressing to see the surviving Rodan choose death over having to live a life without its friend.

Unexpectedly pleased by this movie! I really loved the first act with the bugs, and everything else was obviously a really fun time. The miniature work was great, the soundtrack was banging, and I really appreciated the special effects considering its age. Camerawork exceeds expectations throughout. Incredibly solid debut.

Classic monster movie, I liked it, but I’m not going to feel sorry for the bird… it hatched, it destroyed building and hurt people.. then it burned.

Turn the sad music off. That avian reptilian piece of shit deserved it.
