Mothra is back
I'm a relatively new fan of Toho Kaiju (especially Godzilla), so I decided to try out one of Toho's movies outside of Godzilla. This was my first choice, so I bought it. Here is my opinion on it

Pros:
The famous Mothra Song is retained in this film.
I give it 7 out of 10 for originality.
Desghidorah (or Death Ghidorah) is well done (though, he does sound like an elephant).
The Mothra marionette of this film is one of their somewhat better efforts.
Mothra Leo is well designed.

Cons:
The Mothra Twin Fairies' evil twin sister's laugh can get annoying real quick.
The kids in this film are whiny, disrespectful brats (Parents with imitative kids beware).
Garu-Garu?!
The special effects leave a lot to be desired. Toho is capable of better special FX than this, a fact proven by the Heisei Godzilla series that they had just finished.

Bottom Line:
Despite all of these flaws, this should be enjoyable to fans of Godzilla, Mothra, or any Toho Kaiju.

What a Disappointment!
We bought this one after seeing "Godzilla and Mothra". The kids fell in love with the tiny women who called themselves "Cosmos", and especially loved their Mothra song. We were hoping for more of that poignant sweetness here. Forget it! The evil sister made no sense, and the movie was just gory and pointless. Not for kids!

MOTHRA REBORN !!!
Gozilla taking a break it seems TOHO needs to figure what other Kajiu film monster would be set among the people.Mothra is the answer as you seem him in the godzilla films.The whole Mothra series is aim towards kids because Mothra resemble kindess unlike Godzilla represent destruction rather then kindess.Mothra battles Death Gidohra which looks pretty cool and the new powers are great from mothra but overal this movies is for kids because the series reflects on them.

Aqua Mothra to the rescue
This is the second series but not that Last Because the Mothra battles KING GIDORAH in the last saga (not for sale in the U.S.)
But Mothra flick was alright but Monster really didn't play good role in here because it seems they focus on the kids really then on the monsters.Mothra enemy is very tough to beat up and through out the fight mothra gets his butt whip not until he got
energy from the furby looking creature.But overal its a good kiddy flicks fore kids.

A masterpiece of the giant monster genre
Next to Godzilla, Mothra is probably the most popular creature in Toho's ongoing series of giant monster movies. "Rebirth of Mothra" represents a high point in that series. The film is a spectacularly successful blend of action, emotion, music, and mythic imagery.

Although the film is intended towards a family audience--two of the main characters are children, and graphic scenes of human carnage are avoided--there is plenty in here for adult fans of the genre to enjoy. The film is full of stunningly beautiful images that are charged with the power of myth and the elegance of poetry. The opening sequence, for example, sends chills down my spine. And the fight sequences rival a heavyweight boxing match in intensity.

The human actors give fine performances, but the real stars, of course, are the fantastic creatures. The special effects team has done a miraculous job of truly bringing these creatures to life. Mothra, her gargantuan larval offspring, the miniature "fairy Mothra," and the other creatures are fully developed characters who really engage the viewers' emotions. Toshiyuki Watanabe's stirring score is a powerful complement to the epic drama of creation, destruction, and metamorphosis which is enacted by these mythic creatures.

As I noted before, this is a film for all ages. After falling in love with it, I watched the video with my four year old nephew. I don't think I've ever seen a child get so emotionally involved in a film before; he insisted on borrowing the tape and watching it over and over!

Like many film lovers, I am wary of remakes and retreads of the classic films which I loved as a child. And the original "Mothra" was one of my favorites. But fear not, classic Mothra fans: Toho company has produced a new classic which remains true to the spirit of the original while adding to the Mothra mythos. This film is essential viewing for giant monster fans.
