Watch Godzilla vs. Mothra For Free

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The best Godzilla movie is Godzilla (1998). Maybe you don't agree I don't care. Has long has you are not mad about it. But if you are mad about it you need to grow up pee pee heads. This is the 7th M.o.t.h.r.a movie. The and the 19th Godzilla movie. I like all the M.o.t.h.r.a movies. Godzilla M.o.t.h.r.a and King G.h.i.d.o.r.a.h giant monsters on an all out attack is the 12th M.o.t.h.r.a movie and Part 25 to the Japan Godzilla series and it is better. Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S would part 27 to the Japan Godzilla series it would also be the 13th M.o.t.h.r.a movie. It is also better. Godzilla final wars would be part 28 to the Japan Godzilla series. It is also the 14th M.o.t.h.r.a movie. It is better. Still it is a great movie see it. See all the M.o.t.h.r.a movie. This one is an awesome monster movie. The M.o.t.h.r.a movies are always awesome. And most of the Godzilla movies are awesome to.

This is an okay movie. But of course it is not at all flawless. First let's talk about the Special Effects. Without a doubt this film has some of the most non-Special, Special Effects I've ever scene. First of All Godzilla still looks great. Mothra and Battra also look good. When they're larva that is! You see they look okay when they are in Imago form, until you realize that the strings are not hidden well. Actually they are clear as day to see. I wish I could say that I had to look hard to see them, but I didn't. I just had to look at the screen to see them. To be fare most of the Films in the Godzilla series the effects seemed rushed, so they could have the film out by December. In fact a lot of the Godzilla movies seemed rushed. That is why I think that GODZILLA (2012) might be good, because hopefully it won't be rushed. Now that we've talked enough about the effects, let's get on to the acting. It is pretty generic. Unfourtudentally it's nothing we haven't scene before in a Godzilla flick. Some new monster(or monsters in this case)show up they end up causing damage and eventually fight Godzilla. Same old stuff. The acting in this movie is okay, and let's just leave it at that.

There's no doubt that the strings show on the puppets in this movie; yet exactly for that reason, I suspect this was intentional. The Toho SFX crew isn't stupid - and they've successfully erased the string that wags Godzilla's tail for decades. So I can't imagine that they just slipped up here. I think the strings were supposed to show.Why might they do that? Well let's start by getting real here - the Godzilla series is essentially a series of photographed puppet shows with spectacular explosions. But while most audiences think the emphasis here is on the spectacular explosions (that obviously need excellent SFX to be credible), in reality the emphasis is on "puppet show." Puppeteering is almost a lost art. The Godzilla series arrived at exactly the time historically when professional live-performance puppeteering disappeared from our cultures (West and East), and also at the same time that movie special effects were beginning to crank into high gear. Thus the Godzilla films record the last of professional puppeteering, but in such a way as to obscure that very fact through deployment of extravagant effects.However, if you know what you're doing is recording puppet shows, it's inevitable that you'd want to poke fun at that very fact now and again - and the Godzilla series is filled with such moments, with exception of the first original film.Allowing this film to be a puppet show means that different criteria must be applied to it than are applied to, say, Star Wars or Alien. Appreciation of a puppet show does not require "willing suspension of disbelief" - one can always see the strings. Instead, what the audience enjoys is the skill with which the puppeteer brings inanimate wood to life, as well as the humor puppeteers use to construct all their stories.With this in mind, Godzilla and Mothra Battle for Earth is really a pretty good puppet show. It is beautifully designed and well-photographed; the script is rich in humor; the monsters have strong and well-defined personalities; the back-story is fairly interesting but doesn't detract from the central conflicts; and the music is just wonderful.It is probably not all that a die-hard Godzilla fan might want; but it is certainly the definitive appearance of Mothra.it is really intended for the young - and for the young-at-heart; like all really good puppet shows.I enjoyed it thoroughly, and hope the reader does too; it feels good and, if you recognize what's really going on, it's an important record of a lost art; that makes it good all the way around.

This movie starts out pretty good, with realistic looking meteor falling to earth, but that's the end of good special effects for this film. Special effects director Koichi Kawakita must have been absent the day they shot this movie (although he is credited), because his previous film (Godzilla vs King Gidorah) was lot better than this one. The only reason I could think of for this movie's special effect being so bad was that it was rushed for summer season when kids are off school. These movies are primarily targeted I believe for elementary school kids which I think is grave mistake on Toho's part, because many children enjoyed Gamera 3 which was not catering to younger audiences.Asides from the above, this movie has more than few things in common with the original Mothra vs Godzilla (1964).1. There's a corrupt real estate developer as the main protagonist. 2. A typhoon exposes Mothra's egg. 3. Two man and a woman goes on an expedition to Infant (Mothra) island. 4. It's two monsters against one Godzilla. 5. Actor Akira Takarada stars in both movies.This DVD comes together with Godzilla vs King Gidorah which Toho created as their 60th anniversary project, which is one of the best Godzilla movie of the '90s.
