This is one of the best Godzilla movies ever filmed. This sci-fi flick contains two of Toho Studios' most popular monsters, Godzilla and Mothra, and they come face-to-face in one huge battle. Mothra's egg has been washed ashore in Japan from Infant Island after a hurricane. A greedy businessman claims the egg and the natives of Infant Island desperately seek the egg in return, before it hatches! And, just when you don't need him, Godzilla appears and begins a spree of destruction. This movie has a strong and solid plot, which blends itself in the story very well. There are a cast of bright and delightful characters. Akira Takarada, Yuriko Hoshi, Hiroshi Koizumi, and the Peanuts delivered good on-screen comprehension. And, the US version with the English dubbing is pretty spot on. Ishiro Honda directed a terrific movie and Shinichi Sekizawa gave us an inspiring story. Akira Ifukube composed a beautiful music score, especially his score for the Shobijin, Mothra's Tiny Twin Priestesses. The battles between the monsters and the military are spectacular. This movie is not just another monster-on-the-loose movie, but a film with a message about the consequences of greed and environmental dangers. This is a must-see for any Godzilla fans or merely sci-fi fans in general.
