The D. A classic Godzilla movie that shows the greed of humanity. Probably has some of the best action and effects of the original series . Godzilla looks pretty good. Mothra also looks good and the fight between the two was actually pretty good where the movie loses me is kinda towards the third act and then the fight with the mothra larva. It’s just freaking embarrassing for Godzilla Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/25 Full Review Khaliel P Following the success of King Kong vs. Godzilla, Toho quickly produced a new film, Mothra vs. Godzilla, pairing the iconic kaiju with Mothra, already the star of her own 1961 film. With television booming, Toho aimed to make Godzilla more child-friendly, casting Mothra—a giant, less frightening butterfly—as his opponent. An enormous egg washes ashore, sparking a conflict between businessmen seeking profit and the tiny, protective Shobijin. Godzilla, presumed dead, also returns. The story focuses largely on Mothra and her egg, with Godzilla almost secondary. Despite underdeveloped human characters, the film shines with inventive special effects, impressive miniatures, and dramatic larval battles that challenge Godzilla. Though sometimes humorous or “ridiculous,” it remains charming, marking the beginning of Toho’s realization of Godzilla’s commercial potential.

I liked how they put the little people inside the movie and how Mothra helped the humans fight Godzilla, and how the two rich owners of the egg die, and I also like how it was the first movie that was in color of the Godzilla series, and I am also 10 year old . Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/25 Full Review Cameron M. This is the showa era of Godzilla at it’s peak. Motifs established in this movie would continue throughout the era. Evil humans wanting money or conquest against good humans wanting to do the right thing. Godzilla angry and destroying buildings while fighting a monster in his rogues gallery. Too iconic to ignore Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review josh d One of the best Showa era Godzilla movies.
