With "Mothra vs. Godzilla" from 1964, a certain formula was established for Toho's kaiju films. At first, there are 30 to 40 minutes in which the focus is almost exclusively on the human characters, after which the monsters increasingly take center stage and end up in a brawl. The formula can work if the individual elements hit the spot, but they only do so to a limited extent here. The story begins promisingly but then fails to maintain the tension. At least the humor worked reasonably well for me, though. The monster action is solid, at least in the fight between Mothra and Godzilla, but the larvae at the end are pretty stupid. Ultimately, "Mothra vs. Godzilla" ended up being a pretty mediocre Godzilla movie.

You can tell the movies are starting to get sillier and sillier, but this one at least had a good vs evil story. The action was also solid.

Note to people visiting Infant Island, radiation suits won't do you any good if you neglect to wear the included gloves and head gear. Also it looks like Godzilla gets to destroy the another castle as he did in King Kong Vs Godzilla, this time by tripping on it. the guy just loves to destroy landmarks.

Mothra vs Godzilla is, after the original, one of my absolute favourites of the Showa Era Godzilla films. A Heart warming story, where the greedy bastards get what they had coming, two tiny fairy women with haunting singing, and of course a battle between the giant lizard and the moth...and the moth's babies. What's not to love?!?

Ranked: Godzilla, the King of the Monsters

"Not all all. It's a fair price. Regular chicken eggs cost eight yen wholesale. I figured this egg was equal to 153,820 eggs. Multiply that by eight."

This is the fourth Godzilla movie in the series and it is the second straight following "King Kong Vs. Godzilla" that takes a decidedly silly turn. Looking for deep meaning in any Godzilla flick is ridiculous to begin with but this movie cements Godzilla's descent (or ascent if you choos More

==Please note: This review is for the original Japanese subbed version.==

This is a good return to form when it comes to story-telling in the Godzilla series. While it still has abandoned its horror roots. This new movie highlights aspects of commercialism and corrupt corporations and their views More
