 "Mothras single movie"MOTHRA finally gets another movie named after her without having to share it with godzilla and bot she lets it shine....BRIGHTLY, mothra takes on a crutaceous Ghidorah in the first one when it tries to take all the life away from earth and the effects are good, minus the fact that kids are involved, but it makes for a good childrens movie....either way...it's a winner, and part 2 has her tkaing on a monster gone wrong, the monster was an experiment of ancient people for protection but went array soon after, comes back, and tries to destroy the temple in which brought it there, mothra is summoned again and transforms into a better mothra (the abilities i won't give away) and it too has alot to do with kids but it's a winner just the same, anyway....they are definitley collectors items....i cannot wait til rebirth of mothra 3 is back here in the states and on DVD  "MIght be too violent for the little ones"Based on some of the reviews I read here, I bought this movie for my four year old daughter because she is obsessed with the "old school" Mothra. I pre-screened only the first half of the movie (my mistake) before letting her watch it. She looooved it until the end when the wacked-out Ghidrah 2 or whatever it is "killed" the mom Mothra and started biting the baby Mothra and gallons of yellow blood started pouring out. She became very upset and didn't like it much after that. :-0 I would not let kids under age ten or so watch this movie because of this one sequence.  "Mothra gone solo again"Mothra yes that puny moth is back but she pumped up with some new special attack. The larva has been pump up. In the past series the only defense mothra had in larva was here silk. In rebirth of Mothra 1 she is some how able to emit a laser from her chest area. This is the only series when the fairies have name Mola and Laura. Beleveria there evil sister is pure evil in one and two. King Ghiodra returns in the first one as Des Ghidora he is ugly. In there third one we have a new monster Delgra who is powerful. He almost kills mothra it is only mothra new power given to her by Gorgo that allows her. I am not talking the dinosaurs that destoy londan. If you like both of these there is a third rebirth of Mothra which is currently not avilable her to by. Can only be seen on the Scifi chanel when shown. "Really good if this is your kind of thing"My son is 10 years old and for as long as I can remember he has been a HUGE Godzilla fan. Subsequently, he learned of Mothra and the other monsters during his quest. He can't get enough of any related items. If you have a child that is into sci-fi I would really reccommend this.  "Toho can do better than to create Mothra"this dvd of godzilla may be thrilling in perhaps the appearance of the monsters or their destructive power.yet...i do not like mothra as it does not have many battle skills and looks feeble and weak....which is why many think that it is brave to stand against Godzilla. mothra makes the fighting scenes terrible..there is no melee combat taking place as it only flies around its opponents like trying to irritate them. in Godzilla vs Mothra, the ending is terrible as i do not believe that godzilla can be defeated by two mothra hatchlings just by being wrapped in a cocoon web. i feel that this rather underestimates the power and might of godzilla.it is also absurd that mothra can produce twins...one which resembles a bat.throwing godzilla into the sea at the end of The Rebirth of Mothra is also a weak ending. as all know, godzilla has the ability to live under water and as other weaker monsters don't die from falling from a height ( as demonstrated in godzilla vs gigan where ghidorah drops anguirus ), it is absurd that the show ends there. i would think that the ending is like this because the two mothra twins have no other way or power to defeat godzilla. on the overall i think that the rebirth of mothra merits only a rental...you probably won't be watching it again after the first...especially since there are better godzilla movies such as terror of mechagodzilla. |
