Simply bad

This page has been marked with the "reads like a review" (and a very bad one at that) tag since November of last year. Why hasn't it been fixed?

I just watched the last half of the movie on WOWWOW and came here looking for an article on the original novel, to see how the movie differed from the original story (which I read years ago in English. Japan sinks completely and the book ends with a scene depicting survivors on a foreign ship IIRC). Instead of encyclopedia-quality pages on the original novel and movie adaptations, I find this crap.

This page should be renamed "Japan Sinks (film)" and divided into two sections, one for the 1973 film and one for the remake *OR* one page made for each film (probably not worth doing at this point).

I'll wait a few days and if no one voices any objections, I'll start making changes in line with the above myself.

Also, factual error: in the 2006 movie, Onodera (the Tsuyoshi Kusanagi character...using the actors names in the synopsis is NOT acceptable) does NOT leave for the UK as planned. He volunteers to take a submersible down and arm the bombs set along the undersea fault. Whoever wrote that he escaped to the UK either didn't really watch the movie or fell asleep at the end.

This is NOT acceptable. --RJCraig 13:48, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do. I found the same treatment done on the Prophecies of Nostradamus page. Perhaps we could get the guys at Toho Kingdom to help out here.Eaglestorm 08:53, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reformatted

+infobox +picture +film data

I reformatted the article to all the suggestions in the talk page. As well, re-edited the synopsis to take out the invalid information and added to the plot which were from the suggestions in the talk page. I also took out the actor names in the synopsis and instead put in the character names.

But in all truth, I've never seen this movie, either the remake or original, nor have I read the book. I simply reformat articles to match wikipedia standards. If there are any corrects to make, PLEASE MAKE THEM. Don't complain and do nothing. Be bold about editing. Jonmwang 18:54, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for undertaking this. Sorry, but I got busy with other matters and haven't had a chance to get back to WP since. --RJCraig 14:42, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rethough earlier comments

After thinking about it some more, I'm not sure that dividing the content among three articles is currently warranted.

I therefore propose that for the time being we combine information on the novel and two film adaptations on this single page. If in the future the amount of details warrants doing so, we can divide into separate pages.

Sound OK? --RJCraig 14:48, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to fill out the section on the novel based on the ja:WP article over the next few days. Once the synopsis of the novel itself is up, it won't be necessary to repeat all the detail in those for the movies, only indicate points on which the screenplay differs from the original. --RJCraig 15:01, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
