Movie Reviews of Rodan
Movie Review: Subtitles? Original Japanese language track? Didn't think so
Summary: 2 Stars
I've always been a big fan of all the Toho monster movies and had been awaiting this DVD release with baited breath. Would this be the one to finally feature an option to watch the movie in Japanese with English subtitles? Evidently not. I'm tired of these great movies being reduced to cheap B flicks by virtue of awful dubbing, re-editing and the deletion of music cues. It's time they were seen as originally intended. I've been lucky enough to see subtitled copies of many of the Godzilla movies... all of them brilliant. But these tacky dubbed versions drain all the soul out of them... and are an insult to the great filmmaker's who put them together in the first place. I'm tempted to learn Japanese and buy the official Toho releases.
Movie Review: Entertaining movie, bad DVD
Summary: 2 Stars
Rodan remains one of the most entertaining of all Japanese monster movies, with nice color photography and more consistent special effects than the original Godzilla. This DVD, though, is a disappointment. The print that was used is by no means the cleanest you'll ever find--lots of scratches and dirt on the image--and there really aren't any extras. No effort appears to have been made to find better source material, and that makes for a less-than-stellar DVD experience. They could have done much better.Movie Review: roDAN!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this DVD at [store] for [price]. I can safely say that it was probably worth half of that. I think that I seem to be missing all of this mystery that everyone else speaks of when they describe roDAN! I know that special effects were not in their prime back in roDAN!'s days, but seeing the same tank roll by in a scene three times isn't doing it for me. Also, the exact same jet airplane was destroyed at least four times. I don't know much about Japanese cinema, but their dialogue proves to be uninteresting and ponderous. The only thing that kept myself and my friends going during the movie was shouting roDAN! The monsters were overly plastic and the model towns were obvious. If we are going to be that fake, I would at least want a little camp. In mechagodzilla it was funny to see this beast fly by essentially standing horizontally and moving across the screen. Here roDAN! is taken too seriously. I say we need less boring dialogue that doesn't contribute to the plot and more action for roDAN!Movie Review: You've got to be 1 Stars
This has to be the all time worst sci-fi flick since the mesozoic era. Poor acting. Poor directing. Poor scenery and effects...
