Godzilla vs. Mothra 1992 Review
5 May 2021
"When Earth's next millennium begins, please take a moment to think about Mothra and us." Im a simple man. I see Mothra, and I smile.

Godzilla vs. Mothra is an environmentally aware Indiana Jones / Godzilla / Mothra film.

I mean, they literally do the same bridge stunt from The Temple of Doom and also the same opening as Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Godzilla vs. Mothra is probably my favorite out of all the Japanese / Toho Godzilla films so far. Of course I feel a little biased because I adore Mothra, but I found this to be the most compelling and solid entry story and character wise that Toho had made thus far.

We get a new Kaiju, Battra. Battra overall was pretty underutilized, but it's design reminded me of a mix between Mothra and a Gremlin so I can't complain.

This film is also packed with action and doesn't wait until the last act of the film to start the fights like the previous Heisei Era Godzilla films have done.

I loved pretty much everything in Godzilla vs. Mothra from the story to the characters, and from the kaiju fights to the score.

It's wild and crazy without being too overbearing like Invasion of Astro-Monster, it has the great fight scenes of Destroy All Monsters, it has the environmentally conscious tones of Godzilla vs. Hedorah, and it has the great quirky story of the original Mothra and Mothra vs. Godzilla combined. What's not to love?
