Reviews (1)
Kaiju films are the kind that simply have to work for you. They don't change much because they simply work with a basic plot. However, the story of the film "Mosura" is a little more elaborate, but the main weapon is the beautiful monster, which is simply a wonderful change from all those reptiles and one of the most beautiful that the Japanese have come up with. This is simply an example of how creative a kaiju can be.
