Conor S May 20 It’s a fun movie, I liked the storyline, and Desghidorah. See more Justin T 07/19/2024 This is a very engaging but not classically ‘good’ film. It is very much a production of the nineties. It reminded me of all those eighties fantasy adventures like The NeverEnding Story (1984). It is really fast paced with lots happening so it's never boring. I didn’t like the roar of the new monster, it sounded too much like an elephant trumpet. The cheesy effects, the crazy story, the silly characters and the kaiju all come together to make an undoubtedly entertaining film lacking depth.

Rebirth of Mothra lacks the storytelling the elements of her son Leo, Mothra Leo See more Eric E 09/17/2023 I was not expecting this... disappointment. I recently watched the original Mothra (1961). i don't know why I was assuming this version would be some kind of updated remake. Well it is not. Rebirth is very much aimed at the family/youth audience. If anything, it reminds me in tone of All Monsters Attack (1969), already one of my least favorite Godzilla movies of all time. I really can't stand the children (or boy) in this. On the plus side, the visuals and SFX are decent for the era considering the budget. I don't really have an issue with this aspect. Reminds me of the 90s theatrical Might Morphin Power Rangers movies. And the effects are reminiscent of Masters of the Universe (live-action) and Willow, but better. Not better than the original Honey I Shrunk the Kids though. Also nice that the original fairy twins Mothra song remains intact with little alteration. I guess I'm giving the film a bonus half star for the song and SFX. One last criticism. While I'm never expecting Shakespeare level writing for any Godzilla/Kaiju film, the plot here is paper thin and could be sketched out on a cocktail napkin. More of a long effects reel or proof of concept than anything else. Now I have a fear of the sequels, but could they possibly be worse than this opening entry?? See more Dean W 02/03/2023 A children's Kaiju movie for sure. Annoyingly dubbed if watched in Japanese pretty good for what it is. See more 05/06/2021 When i was a kid i saw this movie on vhs and i loved it!;only because of the villain: Desghidorah,but now i realise that the movie kind of sucked.The kids were annoying,there was some pacing issues and it really didn't need to be about nature,but since the movie is about Mothra(the protector of Nature and Earth)But,the reason i give this four stars is because I am a HUGE Mothra fan,so i may be biased about this.Its fun kaiju fun.Desghidorah is awesome,Mothra finally broke away from godzilla and had her own trilogy.And,Mothra straight up DIES in this film and i would be lying if i say that didn't make me cry.If you are a Mothra fan i would recommend the whole trilogy.It's a great watch.
