I know it just makes me sad as I always liked Rodan as a kid. His update isn't really a radical change like Mothra so there really isn't as much to discuss there either. He was in a volcano at the end of the original film iirc so there is that I guess.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Mothra looks like a great modernization, other than the rear legs need to be right behind the other sets. I like how she shares a bit of biology with the first bugs, like shes a "good" one.

I am stoked. The wife told me to calm my t..s when I started talking about it.

S.H. Monster Arts has apparently revealed their toy line for the movie. So you can get some pretty clear looks at the designs of the monsters if your interested in seeing them not surround by color filters and cgi smoke.
Spoiler:
Toys actually look REALLY good with a lot of possibility in them.
These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

I like em, particularly Rodan. I see they fixed the problem with Mothra-how does a moth become a threat to a giant TRex? Turn it into a flying preying mantis like the first movie...

I will second that. I was a huge fan of Rodan growing up. Also, the Autobot Swoop.

He's Godzilla's Millhouse, and who doesn't like Millhouse?
I might get guff for it, but I always enjoyed the first Rodan movie more than the first Godzilla movie.
Well, I'll kick it off--I really enjoyed the film. There's a lot of human-scale stuff, but it's almost always about the monsters and where they're going and when there's a monster fight going on, it never felt to me like it was cutting away for too long. Ghidorah was really good, coming across as a primal force of destruction with just enough personality to qualify as a villain. The monster fights are well...choreographed? In that it never feels like just two scaly mountains bumping into each other, but there's some clever tactics and surprises, with the cutaways to human-scale characters reminding the audience of the scale of what's going on.
There's a post-credits scene, but nothing too critical in it.
Spoiler:
Maybe setting up Mechagodzilla?

See, I felt let down. I know that most people don't watch these for the plot, but it is supposed to have one beyond 'Godzilla is going here'. Anything beyond that the actors struggle to portray as something that humans would actually SAY. It makes Godzilla Vs Megalon look like high fething Shakespearean Drama.

Also, a bomb with a timer needs ABSOLUTELY NO ONE to STAY WITH IT. IT HAS A fething TIMER AND THERE *IS NO MANUAL DETONATOR*

Spoiler:
Mecha King Ghidorah most likely, but it could also be setting up Destroyah since it was torn off in the area where the Oxygen Destroyer bomb went off as well.
I loved the movie myself, but I'm also a big King Ghidorah fan and the movie was basically "King Ghidorah the love song"

The film was neither good not bad. It was OK. I enjoyed the callbacks to the classic film scores. The monster fights were fun but there wasn’t enough brawling, just finishing move after finishing move. The human stuff was largely boring, as usual. i give it a C.
If you're into giant monsters, and especially giant monsters fighting other giant monsters, that is. Seriously, if you wanted to watch giant monster fights, this is as good it gets.
If you're looking for good acting, solid characters, and other film school stuff, go elsewhere.
