Review of Mothra vs. Godzilla

Yes, this Godzilla film was not even supposed to have Godzilla in it. It was going to be strictly a Mothra movie and she was supposed to fight a monster whose name I think was Baigon or something. The movie makers wisely though changed it to Godzilla as they thought he would be a better draw. So we basically have an egg washing up on the shoreline after a typhoon. A greedy owner of some sort of amusement park or something buys up the egg and of course wants to hatch it. The fairy twins come along and try and get the egg back, but of course the greedy people are not going to listen which means the eggs could hatch and a Mothra larvae could go on the rampage at any time. Add to this the fact Godzilla is back again fresh off his fight with King Kong, proving that he didn't get killed by the big ape after all. Still, he is not himself as he gets his tail caught in something and it falls down and he stumbles into a building. Just not himself and then he must face the moth form of Mothra and he gets hammered a bit. This is the same Godzilla that would go on to defeat much more powerful foes, but here he just has not gained that level of skill. Well the fight with the moth form of Mothra is the highlight, after this the movie just is not up to par as it is mainly Godzilla walking through barren country side instead of stomping through cities and a pointless school teacher and her missing students on an island that seems like it is there to pad the film a bit. Still it is a rather good and well developed Godzilla movie though I guess technically it is a Mothra movie more.
