Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Mothra/Mosura 1961
Pros of Mothra/Mosura:

*Different storyline from Rodan
*Same effects from TOHO
*A new monster

Cons:

*Geared for kids not adults
*Not as dark
*Mothra not as menacing as Godzilla

Another monster movie by Toho directed by Ishiro Honda. I've always found Mothra to be probably the weakest monster of the TOHO franchise. It's not menacing, it's powers are somewhat limited and it's slow.

Watching this I could tell it was geared more for a kids audience (the usual complaint given to some Godzilla movies). The storyline ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mothra- Benevolent Daikaiju
The orginal Mothra is a great movie. It is a film that is different from most monster movies like Godzilla (1954) and Rodan (1956). The reason that it is different is because the title monster, is not out to destroy Tokyo for revenge. The only reason the creature destroys is because its small foot-tall maidens.

The film has great acting by some of the most recognizeable actors of Toho. The special effects for the film are, likewise, good as it was back in the 1960's. Mothra, both in her larva and imago form, is very well executed and well designed. From its patterns on its wings to her ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Classic!!!
Why isn't this on DVD yet???

This is in the same league as Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Attack of the Mushroom People, and H-Man. Classic Japanese science fiction. If you're into these kinds of flicks at all, I don't need to sell you on this...you already know.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Why did REBIRTH OF MOTHRA 2 have to be so bad?
Well basiclly this is Mothra the giant moth`s first appearence. Anyway, the story is that a giant catterpiller named Mothr rampages Tokyo to find two tiny twin fairies. When going on foot geets too hard, she turn into a giant moth and takes to the air. Why is there a giant plant in the movie? Who knows, who cares. Anyway I definetely recomend MOTHRA to Toho monster fans. I also recomend anyone who reads my review not to watch REBIRTH OF MOTHRA 2, which invlolves a hairy thing that poops out rings when he gets scared, acid spitting starfish, a silly Fairy Mothra and the goofy looking Garu-Garu 2.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Pretty bad
Okay it wasnt awful.The story begin some show guys capture 2 small girls and have them sing some strange song on a stage and a giant egg hatchs and a caterpillar type thing comes out and is swimming towards Tokyo.
