Questo film non fa la somma di una serata giapponese,semplicemente poca azione e scene uguali molto lunghe,allora per me questo film si incentra sul poetico,cosa che per i film di Godzilla '60 e '70 (tutta l'era Showa,tranne '50) non ci dovrebbe essere.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

The AU Review

Mothra vs. Godzilla is a good step in the right direction for the Godzilla franchise thanks to its action scenes, distinct personalities of its creatures and the committed performances from the cast.
