Rating:  - Mothra/Mosura 1961
Pros of Mothra/Mosura:
*Different storyline from Rodan
*Same effects from TOHO
*A new monster
Cons:
*Geared for kids not adults
*Not as dark

Anyway I definetely recomend MOTHRA to Toho monster fans. I also recomend anyone who reads my review not to watch REBIRTH OF MOTHRA 2, which invlolves a hairy thing that poops out rings when ...
