After a meteorite awakens Godzilla, Mothra and a dark counterpart named Battra join forces to defeat him.

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

Rated: 7/10

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

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

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.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

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.
