Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Boring

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This is definitely the worst of the 3 latest Mosura movies. The trilogy always went downhill. This time we have SFX that are not even worth mentioning, in comparison with the first 2 and in general. It is a 1998 movie but its SFX would look shallow even in 1978. The budget is VERY low and it shows. they try to cope with computer graphics, but can't go further than some mom&pop homemade holiday video. To give a clue, the scenes with dinosaurs look so terrible they make such 1970's show as Megaloman ( the lowest budget Tsuburaya )& I-Zenborg (another Tsuburaya production ) especially look like star wars III or Terminator II. I am disappointed i can't like this movie much, but alas i saw what i saw. They continue to trek the Disney path and to offer more children-oriented plot & subplots, thus borrowing from the Gamera franchise. This time the miniature witch Belvera turns to a good character & fights king Ghidorah, while she had teamed up with the first Ghidorah ( to me it's always the same monster, but some create a different character as "death Ghidorah" ). They have a couple good ideas in this trilogy, namely the super-Mothra, and the super-super Mothra in this last movie; giving Mosura more powers etc. Yet without adequate SFX (=budget) ideas get wasted. The miniature girls sing a lot & look increasingly like a rip off of say the queen child of the "Neverending story". A movie for children who won't be able to spot bad special effects. Still, low budget can't explain overall poor outcome. UK productions of the late 60-early 70's such as UFO & SPACE 1999 were notably low budget (Hollywood-wise), had poor SFX, yet managed to leave a mark because most plots were well constructed and acting was good: this is not the case.

Alright I really enjoyed this movie. There were many things that I enjoy in a good kaiju flick, that were seen in this movie. First off, Mothra is looking the best of her 90's forms, and King Ghidorah looks pretty good as well. Second, the plot isn't half bad...if you can get over the somewhat childish aspect of it. A few things that I didn't like were how the Alias & Belvira looked different than they did in the previous movies. Another thing that bothered me was the dinosaur graphics. Clearly they spent too much money on Mothra & Ghidorah to put good effort towards a T-rex. But these are only minor details, that I got over pretty fast. I suggest you find a good Japanese cut if you want to see the movie at it's finest, however the English Sci-fi TV version isn't half bad.

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.

I think that this movie is a lot better than the two previous ones. King Ghidora looks perfect, probably the best I've ever seen him. Mothra is of course, my favorite. She looks really cool too, especially in her armored form. There is more city destruction in this movie which is good also. I like the theme to the movie "If your arms can't reach the mind can." The acting in the movie is splendid. The only thing that I think could be improved, is how everything happens. Like, when Mothra throws King Ghidora in the volcano and then he later comes back. Another good thing, is that in this movie they bring out more about Moll, Lora, and Belvera. I really hope they make more movies with Mothra as the star, because she has a great potential to be extremely popular.
