Sorry, this movie sucks

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I honestly find this one probably the best of the Mothra trilogy. As any kaiju fan knows, the Mothra trilogy had a rough start and is basically known for two things; annoying child-centered story lines and fantastic monster fights. The series has struggled to balance this out and with this one I think they hit the high point. The story still centers on a child character, but this one is older and for the most part this story has little to no child humor. Still, the human angle of it all is thinly written and not very emotionally strong, greatly weakening the impact of the finale of the trilogy. You would think the writers would bullsh*t and say Ghidorah seeks to absorb the youth of the children or something, but no, he simply gathers them up. This movie is nowhere near the level of something akin to "Godzilla vs. Destroyer" (19950 or "Gamera 3: Awakening of Irys" (1999), two kaiju masterpieces from around the same time period.What it lacks in character it makes up for in kaiju fun. King Ghidorah, also known as Grand King Ghidorah in this film, looks just stunning. As a fan of the dragon since his debut in "Ghidrah: The Three Headed Monster" in 1964, this is inarguably the greatest rendition of the beast. Never before and never again has the three-headed golden monster looked this terrifying and magnificent. Its younger form, Cretaceous King Ghidorah, also looks quite fearsome. Got to give the Toho effects team props on their work for the monsters in this one. The monster battles in this one are spectacularly done, with Mothra taking quite a beating till the finale of course. If you're a fan of Mothra or not, anyone can enjoy Ghidorah kicking the sh8t out of the giant feminine moth. There are a few short city-stomping scenes in this one, not enough for some fans taste, but this is made up for in the kaiju-brawls. All the monsters look bad-ass here, including the two new Mothra incarnations. Armor Mothra I suppose is Mothra's strongest from ever and after the battle is over appears Eternal Mothra and it's a beautiful design. See this movie, as with the others, for the monsters alone.That and Toshiyuki Watanabe's score is pretty awesome, capturing the feel of a sci-fi/fantasy film. There's also some fun cheese with the prehistoric battle 130 million years ago while Mothra and Cretaceous King Ghidorah fight. As they do, a T-Rex and a Triceratops actually stare at each other in bewilderment before continuing to watch the battle.Nowhere near the pinnacle of Japanese monster movies but a fun watch.

I had bit of a frustration about these '90s Mothra movies. That its special effects could be little more realistic etc. But now I think about it, these movies were kicking a** with bigger and brighter than life cinematography and plot when everything in our world was turning towards darkness (if you think about all the sci-fi, super hero movies that came out in the '90s and how dark they were). Here finally someone had a plot where motivation for destruction was not anger, but force of nature is trying to stop another force of nature from causing catastrophe.I just think these movies are great because it depicts another world that isn't like ours but brighter and people living in it is brighter too. Topics of Mothra series was more geared towards the world than say like Batman, where it was just about Bruce, his personal issues and few bad guys. Mothra series was talking about things like destruction of nature, and value of our children.When everything around us was getting darker, it's a real treat to throw these bigger and brighter than life movie up on the screen and just kick back for 90 minutes.

The last of the three Rebirth of Mothra series is a really fine entry. Hopefully, the producers of this series will bring back more adventures of our flying Moth that saves the planet. In this film, the science behind can be a little to complicated for non-physics professors. King Ghidora kidnaps children and places them in a large egg-like prison. The three fairies "Moll, Lora and Belvera" return. Mothra is badly defeated by King Ghidora but there is one hope, to send Mothra back in time 130 million years to battle King Ghidora when he was younger and weaker. Mothra realizes that he cannot return and will die in the past. Moll sends him back but the power needed to do it kills Moll. Lora and Belvera are both trapped in the egg-like prison. The Moth finally is able to defeat King Ghidora in the past but mistakenly cuts off a piece of tail that will grow into another King Ghidora in the future. Mothra dies in the past but two dinosaur Mothra's put him in a time capsule of silk web. Both creatures make a new appearance in the future. This time the Moth has become an armor plated Moth. Can King Ghidora battle a tank plated Moth? Will the fairies remain two or return to three? Why would a creature want children? Excellent fight scenes and action. A must see battle of Moth vs Three-headed creature!

O.K., I am used to all the recent giant monster films from Toho Studios having very weird plots. All the third generation Godzilla films of the 90's are a case in point. However, the `Rebirth of Mothra' series, and this one in particular, really are amazing. It is like some really bad dream you might have while locked in a sweat soaked fever delirium. It keeps going and going, making less and less sense as it goes along. You keep hoping that you will wake up, but you never do.There are three little Elias fairies, two `good' and one `bad'. They find some little triangle things that fit into their swords, but two of them get mixed up and they don't fit in the swords they have. Then a meteor crashes into the earth. It, of course, is King Ghidorah, who apparently was also the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs. He has returned for some unspoken reason, probably to kill off all mankind. But instead of just stomping on everyone and knocking down buildings like monsters are prone to do, THIS one flies around and little children start evaporating. Not the adults, just the kids. They are later found to be inside a huge dome (which is actually a rather neat effect), full of icicles and volcanoes that burp blue acid. Why King Ghidorah does this is never explained, but it is obvious to the fairies that he intends to `kill them'. The little fairies then call Mothra, of course, who is apparently composed of thousands of little Mothras who fly together, achieve critical mass, and then explode into one big Mothra. The fairies fly too close to Ghidorah, and one of the good Elias gets her hair permed and turns into a bad fairy. She tries to choke the other good fairy, but falls off the tiny little Mothra they use as a steed and falls inside the dome. The remaining good Elias convinces a little boy who is afraid to go to school to go inside the dome and rescue the good become bad fairy, because she always was convinced of the innocence of children.Now it gets weird. The remaining good fairy talks to Mothra and finds out the only way to defeat King Ghidorah is to go back in time, when he was much younger (and had much slimmer legs). But she won't be able to return to the present time, I believe, because the other fairy is now bad and trapped inside the dome. But, she goes back anyway, `sung' back by the remaining good fairy who then, in one of many very touching scenes, turns into a block of blue crystal. Mothra, on her way back through time, turns into something that looks like a cross between a flying fish, a wasp, and an F-15. She then finds Ghidorah busily chomping on a Tyrannosaurus. She fights him, and promptly gets her soundly trashed.Meanwhile, back by the big dome, the kid who the Elias conned into fighting Ghidorah jumps out and yells insults at the 800 foot tall, three headed monster. Ghidorah is sufficiently insulted and sucks the little tyke up and deposits him in the dome. He goes in search of the fairy. The other, original, bad fairy is also in the dome and the three all come together. The two fairies fight with swords, but since the little kid is there and is full of innocence and still afraid to go to school, both fairies undergo a radical change of heart. The three swords magically merge into one sword. They send their good vibes, over 150 millions years, out to Mothra and she wins by shooting out all sorts of rays and things from her head, her wings, wherever. She apparently dies anyway, and three Mothra caterpillars magically appear from somewhere and give her a proper sendoff. The dome disappears and everyone is extremely happy, except the one fairy who is still a blue crystal. The movie is apparently over.Then, a huge explosion in the sky occurs, King Ghidorah is back. This is not explained. Then, an earthquake happens and Mothra reappears as well. She had wrapped herself `in a time capsule', according to the kid who knows everything, and reappeared `just in the right time'. It is like that whole half-hour when Mothra went back in time never happened. They fight some more, and Mothra wins by dropping him in a volcano. Everyone is happy again, and they figure out a way to turn the blue crystal back into a good fairy. Presumably, the kid, having stood up to a three-headed monster, now has enough courage to go back to school.
