Movie Reviews of Rebirth of Mothra 1&2
Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
These videos are some of the few kid-oriented monster movies, taking all the hustle and bustle from an ordinary monster movie and toning it down with a more gentle and dramatic touch.
In the first film, Rebirth of Mothra, a logging crew in Hokiado unwittingly removes the magical Seal of Elias from the forest. They release Desgidorah, a wicked space monster, from its prison. Mothra is summoned by her fairy guardians and engages the cosmic dragon. Her newlyborn larva comes to assist and the two fight the beast. Eventually Mothra's age and battle wounds seal her fate and she sinks into the pacific ocean. Her determined youngster retreats to a nearby island and cocoons himself(herself?) into a full moth. Will it be enough to defeat Desgidorah?
The second film, Rebirth of Mothra II, is not as strong as the first but it is still dazzling. A young girl discovers a little furry creature called Gorgo, the guardian of a great treasure from a lost, underwater city. Meanwhile the evil beast Daghara produces mutant starfish that threaten to overrun the worlds oceans. Mothra is summoned to battle the creature, but is infected with the starfish and takes a beating. The girl and two of her friends find themselves in a floating pyramid in search of the treasure, with two money-obsessed goons following them. Can Mothra defeat Daghara and the kids find the treasure before it's too late?
The effects are cheesy even by 1990s standards, but they're creative and entertaining. The movies are good stories with positive enviromental messages. The fairies for the first time are seperate with individual personalities, and a third, evil fairy makes her debut in this series. The only real downside is that the english dub doesn't quite match the actors but otherwise they're gold. If you don't like them, the kids certainly will.
