Talk:Rodan (film)

Untitled

"Unlike most of the Toho monster movies, which featured "action" scenes consisting of roaring monsters lumbering across the landscape at a stupefyingly slow pace"

Is it just me, or does this passage seem awfully condescending? Doesn't exactly sound very "neutral" to me.

I agree, Controller. In fact the whole paragraph reads like completely personal opinion, and not really backed-up by the facts. It's been a while since I've seen Rodan, but I remember it as being a decent, entertaining film. But it didn't stand way out as far and away the greatest of the Toho monster movies, bar none, as seems to be implied here. Rizzleboffin 15:45, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I removed the second paragraph (the one called "condescending" on this thread), and moved the third paragraph from the Plot section down to Trivia. Also, Rodan is referred to as "Radon" when he appears in stock footage in the English dub of Terror of Mechagodzilla, so I corrected that reference as well.

I have re-corrected the reference in the Trivia to Rodan being called "Radon" in Terror of Mechagodzilla. When Katsura is talking to her father about how he wants Titanosarus to be remembered, she refers to several monsters who have terrorized Japan, including King Ghidorah, Manda, and "mighty Radon."

Trivia section cleanup

This section really needs an overhaul; the writer's English is poor and I don't see any sources listed. Any takers? Tony Myers 08:55, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Synopsis section

The synopsis section is shock full of opinions. "Surprisingly well-filmed", "the battle scenes and monster rampage in Rodan are thrilling, exciting, and fast-paced"... the hell? :3 ZombieLoffe (talk) 20:37, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
