Review of Mothra vs. Godzilla

this movie is the first to emphasize Godzilla's clumsiness. In the first scenes we clearly see he's so clumsy he levels buildings out of it, rather than being just ill-minded. as with the Mosura franchise, there is the honesty vs greed item, when two hardcore businessmen try to create a freak amusement park featuring the egg of Mosura, which had untimely reached the shore after a tornado. Both crooks will perish in less than welcoming circumstances: one killing the other, who was resentful for having been failed and who had tried to steal the first one's money; he'll eventually perish in the Godzilla rampage. Two sympathetic reporters -again a clichéd item in the Mosura franchise- try to help the miniature girls but in vain. It is to defend its egg against Godzilla that the first Mosura will die. Twin larvae are eventually born (another item retold in more recent movies ) and get rid of godzilla using their web flakes. Actors deliver good performances even if in a Japanese monster movie acting isn't that important. Special effects are decent for the era, although limited. Mosura again is the more sympathetic monster in the Toho stable. I think the emphasis here is on the twist about godzilla's clumsiness. a nice, easy to watch movie.
