Rebirth of Mothra II

Recipe for Rebirth of Mothra II: Take one part Godzilla, one part Raiders of the Lost Ark, and one part Pokemon. Combine and shake liberally. Serve to your children.

That's right, the twins are back for more Mothra action in this hot-on-the-heels sequel to Rebirth of Mothra, and once again this is a film that shouldn't be taken seriously. The standard "save the environment" message is wrapped in an adventure story involving a submerged city, a pesky fluffball of a sidekick, and a coupla giant monsters who are destined to rumble. Standard-kaiju fans might have a bit more fun with this installment, as the secret-city sequences are intriguing and the final fight is actually pretty kick-ass. Enduring the treacly dialogue, however, might well inspire the stuffier Godzilla fans to run screaming.
