Review – Mothra

The great peril of this movie is getting the “Mothra” song stuck in your head. Beyond that, this is strange even by giant Japanese monster standards. The beast begins life as a big, ugly caterpillar. While I concede that having your city destroyed by a caterpillar would kinda suck, somehow it just doesn’t stack up against radioactive dinosaurs. Even when it transforms into a giant moth, it still isn’t as scary as ... well, something that isn’t a moth. Still, the picture spawned one of the key figures in the giant Japanese monster pantheon. Mildly amusing
