PodBill Just what I expected

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

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

The_Depressed_Star_Wars_fan 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.

The_Dinosaur As I have said with a previous review of a Godzilla film, you really can't rate this with the same standards of other films, why? Because it's Godzilla, it's not normal. Intention of the film, and did it accomplish it is how I grade these films.Having said that, this film wasn't the worst entry into the Godzilla franchise. It wasn't the best either. While, the special effects were had slightly improved on the last film, they are still far from revolutionary. They're not bad enough to spoil the film though. or the time, the special effects were not half bad.While this film improves in terms of plot holes (time travelers, with inconsistencies in the physics of time travel) it also goes a completely different direction. As I said, the last film was about time travel. This one was about fairies and other super natural phenomena. A fairly different direction. There is also a clear influence from the Indiana Jones films. Except, this isn't really as good as Indiana Jones vs Godzilla would be.The plot itself, while better, was very slow. Godzilla is already a established character, so you think it would be easy to have him show up and smash the place up. No. They had to introduce Mothra AND Battra first. Then have them hatch out of their eggs. Then have them go from larva to actual moths. I don't understand why Battra is called Battra. Looks more like a moth to me.So anyway, Mothra has to protect the earth, Battra has to do the same, but is more aggressive towards humans, because as we all know, we messed things up. Anyway, somewhere in- between, Godzilla, not wanting to disappoint to film goer by having his name on the film and not be in it (which I thought was the case when he took forever to show up) shows up and smashes the place up. With style, too. Godzilla isn't the good guy in this film, Mothra is, and Battra ends up being one. It still doesn't help the fact that I want to see Godzilla kill everything, including the good guys.Honestly though, this is one of the more touching Godzilla films. It's very slow, but worth checking out if you are a Godzilla fan.

mxb2001 Even if you're a Godzilla fan you won't like this. It's boring, pedantic, far too slowly paced and simply dumb. The lead actress is the least attractive woman in the whole movie. The plot, no wait, what am I saying, there's no plot worth mentioning aside from a trite and unedifying "romance" storyline which doesn't even get wrapped up when the movie ends. The special effects are special indeed. Specially bad! You can see the strings. You can't not see them in fact. Ropes may be a better description! As for the pro-environmental message being preached: Even I as a staunch environmentalist practically gagged at the ham handed attempts to "save the earth". Let me summarize: You won't laugh (it's not cheesy enough), you won't cry and frankly you won't even care. You won't even stay awake come to think of it. Treat yourself to a good movie. Anything but this one because it makes almost any other movie look good.

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.
