I very rarely find movies of this kind a bore, but my God, I could barely stay awake.
The film opens with the a mining company tearing apart a forest and finding and ancient ruin that soon becomes something that could end the world. The two fairies that always accompany Mothra seek a small amulet as well as their evil sister.
Needless to say one thing leads to another and soon Mothra is fighting to save the Earth from Desghidorah, a three headed monster that threatens to destroy the environment as well as the world.
The monsters are well done, of course and Mothra is simply beautiful, but the movie is poorly acted and the story really sucks. I'm not a believer in environmental lunacy and this movie seemed to me to be a mixture of Toho monsters and Captain Planet drivel.
I would have to say this is the worst Toho film I have ever seen and that even surprised me. I couldn't really get into the story or anything else for that matter.
However, if you're a Toho completest you'll want to see this movie, but I can't recommend it. They made a sequel to this which I will watch and review later and I hope to heck it's better than this.
