Dem Bones

Warning: Spoilers
You've heard of "suspension of disbelief;" now meet "suspension of plot." Wasn't Mothra supposed to declare war on mankind if Godzilla's bones (bones used in the construction of MechaGodzilla) weren't returned to the sea? Ah, forget that; it was only the purpose of Mothra making a personal appearance in the opening scenes and issuing that dire warning via the fairies. But, hey, who's going to remember that for more than a few minutes?

So, Mothra defends Tokyo, even as Mecha-G (full of G-bones) slugs it it out with the owner (or heir) of those bones in the streets. (If only the Army had used just one more tank, there's a chance that it could have defeated Godzilla, given the effectiveness of the other tanks. But, that's the military for you.) With a bit of larval assistance, Mecha-G flies off with Godzilla and deposits the poor (and apparently bone-challenged) guy back in the harbor.

See this movie: it really is a lot of fun. Just be sure to forget the plot (like the director did) and merely enjoy the wonders of Godzilla.
