jacobjohntaylor1 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.

dee.reid Toho has long recognized that women make up a significant portion of their audience, which is often why women have played such a prominent role in many of the "Godzilla" features that have been released over the decades since the mighty King of the Monsters's debut in "Gojira" (1954). That is why women play such a prominent role in some of the newer "Godzilla" features released between 1984 and 1995.Hence, that is also perhaps why Toho took the chance in 1992 to revive one of the longest-standing staples of its kaiju (monster) library: Mothra, whose name would imply, is a giant moth - a monster-god - with decidedly feminine characteristics. Mothra was not the first female kaiju to appear in the second-generation Heisei-Era "Godzilla" films. That first monster was the horrific yet tragic Biollante, from "Godzilla vs. Biollante" (1989), which I will contend remains the crowning achievement of the Heisei-Era films.Takao Okawara was selected to helm 1992's "Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth" (or more simply known as "Godzilla vs. Mothra") by Kazuki Ohmori, who wrote and directed both previous Heisei-Era features "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah" (1991) and the aforementioned "Godzilla vs. Biollante." "The Battle for Earth" is ostensibly a remake of the classic "Godzilla vs. Mothra" (1964), but with a much stronger environmentalist subtext.Things begin with a huge meteor crashing into the Pacific Ocean, setting off a chain reaction of environmental disasters all across the world.The film opens with a direct homage to the timeless opening sequence from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981): Takuya Fujita (Tetsuya Bessho) manages to retrieve a priceless artifact from the ruins of an ancient temple in Thailand, and is promptly arrested for the theft. His ex-wife Masako (Satomi Kobayashi) comes to see him in jail (while also trying to extract delinquent alimony payments out of him), and offers him a chance at freedom: she has talked to the Thai police and they will let him out on the condition that he helps her to locate Infant Island, where a giant egg was recently discovered following a powerful typhoon.It's an offer he'd be stupid to refuse.They travel to Infant Island and find the egg, but also its two protectors - the Cosmos (Keiko Imamura and Sayaka Osawa), two beautiful young girls who are only a few inches in height; they're also the successors to the Shobijin from the first-generation Showa-Era "Godzilla" films, who performed a similar role. They explain that they're the last of an ancient civilization that had once tried to control the weather, and they were protected by their benevolent monster-god Mothra. But they were eventually wiped out during a battle with the malevolent "anti-Mothra" monster Battra, who is described as being the physical manifestation of Earth's innate instinct for self-preservation.Eventually, the enraged Battra is awakened from its eons-long slumber, and he does battle with an even stronger and more menacing Godzilla at sea; Mothra, too, soon joins the fray, after she hatches from her egg - in a sequence referencing a scene from "King Kong vs. Godzilla" (1962). (It must be said that "Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth" is one of the more visually arresting features of the Heisei-Era "Godzilla" features, highlighted by the strong cinematography and the top-notch special effects by Koichi Kawakita.)It is interesting to note the strong feminine presence in this film. Mothra remains the most prominent female kaiju in Toho's legion of giant monsters. But even more note-worthy with "Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth" is the strong performances of its human females, Masako and the Cosmos, who both play significant roles in the film's events and don't just stand around doing nothing while all the men do the heavy lifting. There's some romance in here, too, but none of the really gushy stuff we shallow Yanks are so accustomed to on our side of the Pacific. It's also remarkable that the film's two main characters are a bickering divorced couple (rather than scientists or heroic military folks, and who predictably rekindle their love for one another over the course of the film) - one of whom is a criminal, a thief, no less! - but are able to put aside their marital troubles to try to help save humanity. It is a little tragic that essentially Takuya is an adult child who's running away from his familial responsibilities, and ex-wife Masako has to hide the fact from their young daughter that her father is a thief (which is a heavy emotional burden she's none too happy, or willing, to bear).The last and greatest aspect of "Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth" is the beautiful, elegant film score by Japan's most renowned film composer, Akira Ifukube (who sadly passed away in 2006), and who returned to the "Godzilla" series on the previous entry "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah." Ifukube's score for this film is just another one of the high points of his incredibly long and illustrious career. It's highly emotional, incredibly evocative of the feelings of the film, and is just an amazing piece of film music to listen to; it truly captures the magnificent beauty of the film, apart from its savage, special effects-laden giant monster battles. And the songs sung by Keiko Imamura and Sayaka Osawa will most likely bring tears to your eyes as they sing their lovely new rendition of "Mothra's Song," as well as the song "The Appearance of Imago Mothra" (which is featured in the spectacular sequence where Mothra emerges as a moth from her cocoon after crashing the National Diet Building - Japan's house of parliament, in case you don't know). I would highly recommend trying to find Ifukube's score somewhere.With its lush visuals, beautiful Akira Ifukube music score and devastating monster battles, "Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth" is definitely one of the better films from the Heisei-Era "Godzilla" pictures.8/10

r-c-s this is a good movie. There are various trademarks, which make the plot a second edition of earlier plots, namely greedy businessmen trying to abduct the miniature girls and the Mothra egg for profit, thus summoning Mothra. Nothing new under the sun in general, besides many Indiana Jones-Rambo moments, which replace the Bond movie spoofs used elsewhere. Equally, they throw in some character development, namely an archaeologist turned cheap thief & his family crisis as a "misguided but well meaning" character. That is not essential, although not overdone. Godzilla resurfaces following the impact of a huge meteor, and all things right seem to go wrong. From the old King Caesar movie, there is a prophecy about a third monster in this movie, Bathra, sort of nemesis for Mothra. This movie reveals the origin of the miniature girls as well: they're the last from a long lost atlantean society destroyed during a natural disaster caused by men's abuse of earth resources. In the end, Mothra & Bathra must join forces against Godzilla, even if they're per se enemies. Another prophecy seals the movie: a huge meteor will collide with earth soon (then 1999) and Mothra has to handle the matter. Although from 1992, it's still typically 80ish. SFX are good. some entertaining 120 minutes.

DrLenera Coming after the terrific Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah,Godzilla Vs Mothra manages to be almost as good. Unlike the previous film,which revived a monster from the older series but structured a new plot around it,Godzilla Vs Mothra is a remake of both the 60s Godzilla Vs Mothra and the original film,Mothra,which introduced the huge moth. Some scenes from those films are copied and sometimes improved,such as the cater pillar Mothra's slide through Tokyo ,destroying everything more by accident than anything else,or the cocooning and hatching of the 'adult' Mothra,which here is a quite beautiful scene. The film provides as much destructive mayhem as the previous film,and visually is even more impressive to look at. The much more cuddly Mothra is a nice touch,while Battra is an awesome menace. Once again,the human characters keep the interest while we wait for the monsters to turn up. Finally,Akira Ikifube's score has the most beautiful piece of music heard in a Godzilla film,actually taken from the first Godzilla Vs Mothra,but sounding much better here.However,the film does have it's problems. The plot is confused,and Godzilla could have almost been removed from the script,he has so little to do with the story. The film rams home it's environmentalist message with all the subtlety of Godzilla,and it becomes a bit tiresome.Nonetheless,another fine Godzilla film,and even if,in the end,it's not quite as good as the original Godzilla Vs Mothra,it's as good an updating as one would have a right to expect.
