Review – Godzilla vs. Mothra

This isn’t anybody’s finest hour. A giant Mothra egg blows up during a hurricane, and the evil capitalist who buys it won’t turn it back over to the tiny women from the Mothra island. There, I just saved you from watching the first third of the movie. Half an hour in Godzilla finally puts in an appearance, but he seems to be destroying buildings by getting his tail caught and stumbling into them rather than deliberately trashing the place. Then he has to fight a giant moth. Then the giant moth dies and he has to fight two giant Silly-String-spitting caterpillars. This never tries to be scary. It tries to be funny but fails. The only thing it succeeds at being is dull. It’s always great to see Godzilla, but he’s largely wasted in this outing. Mildly amusing
