Absolutely the worst movie.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

**SPOILER** I'm giving this complete waste of time a 10. WHY? you must ask! Surely I must have gone insane to give this totally turkeyed mess a rating above 2. Why? I'll tell you. Despite the Japanese best efforts EVERY ONE of their monsters are cheezy and stupid next to Godzilla*. You read it right, and I don't have to justify it to anyone. I'll let the fat guy in the rubber suit do my talking for me.But, I digress. I get carried away when it comes to these ridiculous classics. I mean, even among monster films, they should have their own class, along with their own awards. Actually we owe then a great debt. because they lifted movies above the Harryhausen form of art (wonderful, but dated) gave us.By the way, for those of you who are deluded enough to believe that King Kong beat up Godzilla, I invite you to check the record. After he was done getting the landscape mopped up with his back, he NEVER EVER came back to Japan. The Japanese people, of course, idolize Godzilla; he's a boon to any city's construction industry. I'm sure he's got an honorary union card.I've gotta get back on track, here. The REAL reason is the deep dark secret that our generation wants to keep hidden from all the unsuspecting young movie goers of today from grasping. These are not actually movies. They are reasons to visit the local drive in theater with your girlfriend to explore the wonders of each other. That's right, and all of us know it. Relax, mom and dad are probably long gone by now, and the kiddies are grown up, so it can finally be said. These kept a lot of kids from the perils of sainthood by introducing them (US) to romance. Just for that this one deserves an Oscar.*Possible exceptions are the guy in monster from 20,000 fathoms. THERE was great looking monster; also, the big spider in Tarantula, he was pretty cool, too.

This not best M.O.T.R.A movie. Some of the sequels are like the second one Godzilla vs M.O.T.R.A, or the third one G.H.I.D.O.R.A.H the three headed monster, or the forth one Godzilla and M.O.T.H.R.A vs the sea monster. But it's still good movie.Some people go to an island that as bin polluted nuclear radiation. They find I giant moth. And some bad guys that come with them take something the belongs to it. I can't remember what it was an egg I think. Anyway these bad guy take something that belongs to M.O.T.H.R.A and he follows them back to Tokyo were he goes on a rampage. It is not as good as the 5th movie Destroy all monsters. And it is not as good as the 6th movie Godzilla vs G.I.G.A.N. But it still a good movie. See it. Great story line. Great movie. All the M.O.T.H.R.A movies are great see all of them.

Ishiro Honda directed this wild but imaginative film that sees Japanese scientists investigating reports of unusual activity on a mysterious remote island that had been exposed to atomic testing. They find a primitive people and good-hearted "Twin Fairies", two women a foot-high who are kidnapped by a greedy foreign industrialist to be exploited for their unique size and singing ability, which is really a cry for help to their legendary protector: a giant prehistoric moth that attacks Japan, trying to rescue them after being taken to Tokyo. First film appearance of Mothra proved an entertaining effort, with nice model work. Mothra would return in the Godzilla series, in "Mothra Vs. Godzilla".

They'd done Godzilla. They'd brought us color monster madness with Rodan. Now Toho continue to improve their Kaiju films with Mothra. Once again Mothra is the result of nuclear radiation, but those themes are just around to explain her size. The main plot is Mothra's rescue attempt of two miniature women taken from her island. Strange? Certainly, but it's nice to see the monster with a clear agenda and some actual motivation. The models and effects are the best so far. Remote controlled vehicles, green screen, monster puppets, are all thrown in to give us some truly exhilarating city smash ups. Even when "people" are obviously dolls, it's OK. Films don't have to be a replacement for the imagination. I was never dragged out of the film's universe, and the scenes of the dam bursting had me appreciating film making more than any CGI filled computer game-a-like. The use of a fictionalized nation allows you to easily ignore any overbearing political agendas. It isn't as dark as the previous efforts. But when your monster is a big moth, you don't get as much horror. Luckily, it also manages to create a more atmospheric and artistic approach. Mothra's initial hatching is juxtaposed with a beautiful and rather trippy song. A tale of, once again, man's mistakes. Only this time, it's the exploitation of these mistakes that brings destruction.
