Brayden J @RT52266258 Sep 21, 2025 A great kid friendly colorful fantasy Kaiju movie. It's good for kids and adults with some mildly violent scenes including a giant moth and a larva destroying a city to save her fairy friends. The designs are adorable and mothra looks like a big ol' cinnamon roll. Shes not scary and is in fact a sweetheart and its basically about the dangers of greed!

This movie is a really fun movie, with pretty funny characters as intended. Goofy plot as well which I like to an extent. The problem with this movie though is I feel like it's trying to be funny and cute and serious as the same time but it's not clear what they want you to take seriously or to laugh at. Mothra is a more cute Kaiju compared to the others but promotion for this movie seem like they're making it out to be scary. Even in the movie, they are trying to get you to believe it's scary even though the tone of the movie is not that and it's just really confusing to me. Anyways, the movie is good and fun!

Following the anti-nuclear war elements, now also including how capitalism breeds cruelty to the world. So much so that, with the Mosra song by The Peanuts to go along with, all the destruction felt more welcome, also because they wanted it to be a bit more family-friendly and omitted the more violent results, unlike the previous movies. It did feel a bit lazy at times, with many shots so blatantly not having the makeup or special effects needed like in shooting scenes but plenty of other scenes were beautifully done. The Mothra design and life cycle itself is very different from the other kaiju. Probably why it's a she, unlike the others. I'm very curious about how the crossover with the other monsters will end up looking. See more J L @RT04108648 Aug 21, 2023 Ahead of its time? Definitely, Toho kicks ass compared to Hollywood's efforts at epic films as demonstrated by Honda and Tsuburaya masterpiece here. I didn't love the American dub that much but the original... I loved every minute of it, highly recommend it! See more Read all reviews
