For those who simply crave scenes of giant monster mayhem, it is likely to prove a delight. Go to Full Review

This film is basically a retread of the 1964 original, but with improved special effects and an expansion on Mothra's abilities. Go to Full Review

I like Battle for Earth just fine, although it doesn't possess the fun craziness of the previous film. Go to Full Review

Khaliel P Aug 23 Godzilla vs Mothra adapts a pre-existing Mothra story for a family-friendly audience, incorporating Godzilla and introducing the new kaiju Battra. The plot follows Takuya, tasked with protecting Mothra’s egg as Godzilla and Battra awaken due to a meteor, leading to spectacular underwater battles and ecological themes. The monsters are visually striking, with a plush-like Mothra, menacing Battra, and a more flexible Godzilla. Balanced between human adventure and kaiju action, the film marks a significant improvement over its predecessor, even if Godzilla plays a secondary role.

See more Justin T 07/01/2024 I enjoyed watching this but it is a step down again as the pace is slower and the crazy insanity isn’t as prevalent. It’s an entertaining kaiju movie but I couldn’t help feeling a little bored at times. It sticks with the cheesy effects and style but not as silly or crazy so much more forgettable. It also does have the serious tone so it does fall short of all the other films in this era so far. Still, it’s entertaining but my least favourite of the new era so far. Possibly I even preferred the original Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) but only by a tiny amount. See more josh d 06/09/2024 Solid Heisei era Godzilla movie. See more Rich A 04/22/2024 Battra time underrated! See more Chanr3y k 04/15/2024 Godzilla vs Mothra is one of the weaker movies of the heisei era, Godzilla feels shoe horned in, and thats mainly because Godzilla wasn't meant to be in this movie, but aside from that the Characters are somewhat decent and action pieces are fun.
