Godzilla vs. Mothra

Summary: Wonderful masterpice, rather sucky DVD.
Review: This does have the choice between pann and scann and Letterbox format, but the rest of the DVD is sucky. They could have presented the film subtitled in it's original Japanese version, with the Jpanese and American trailers and with Special effects outakes and the American sequince but they didn't do that. However, the Widescreen presentation is crystal clear and this looks 100 tiumes better than the rather dispappointing Japanese laserdisk (that had kind of muted colors and was OVERLY letterboxed (it was like in 2.76:1). This is dubbed but it's not bad at all. The only problem with AIP's Titan Productions dubbing is that it's kind of garbled and hard to make out, though it's better than most of Toho's international version dubbing. The real problem though is the pathetic extras, the fake trailers which are just video advertisemnets and the pathetic picture gallery. However, this is one of Honda's greatest masterpeices and Japan's best sci-fi films, though it is bested by Matango, Magic Serpent and Goke. If only they could release those films on DVD. This bests all of Honda's other monster movies (exept for Matango), even the original Godzilla and Mothra. All in all, if you can get past the sucky DVD extras, get this film.

Summary: WIDESCREEN! All right!
Review: I've already reviewed this movie, so I'm not going to repeat all the wonderfully complimentary things I said verbatim. However, the addition of this Wide-Screen edition of the film is fantastic, since the original movie was shot in Toho-Scope and the letterboxed format really shows off Eiji Tsubaraya's SFX...their scope is positively epic at times. DO THE WIDESCREEN...it's worth it!

Summary: okay, not great
Review: I'd say this one is okay, but there's nothing really that great about it. godzilla looks impressive here, but rather clumsy. The special effects are good. plenty of scenes of the milatary attacking godzilla, which are more enjoyable then the fight scenes which are brief and boring, can't understand how godzilla lost to two little catapillars when he just should have stomped em, pretty embarising. However, nothin's worse than listening too those little twin faries singing.

Summary: Great Classic Godzilla
Review: "Mothra vs. Godzilla" is one of the best original series movies ever made. It is a true monster classic, boasting Mothra's usual enemies, greedy businessmen, as well as Godzilla. Godzilla himself never looked better and the special effects are very good. And this movie is dubbed well. That surprised me more than anything, but the FX are very good, better than Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla (that's right, I am talking about the 1964 Godzilla vs. The Thing being better than a movie 30 years younger than it,) and it is a classic battle. Motha s animated well, and watching Godzilla smash the head of the company is very cool. All in all, this movie has good special effects, good acting, two annoying fairies, a giant moth, and a 164 foot radioactive dinosaur. The extras are only ads for the other 4 movies released by Simitar and various pictures from Godzilla movies. The movie rocks. Buy it.

Summary: A great old fashioned sci fi flick, starring the Big-G!
Review: This movie is great! Presented in glorious widescreen. The score is excellent, the battle theme incorperates the Godzilla theme and a Mothra theme, different from that of original Mothra movie. The battle between Godzilla and the adult Mothra is pure genius. Before watching this movie, one might think: "How could some large moth even hope to stand a chance against the awesome might of Godzilla?" The film makers answer this question with a bang producing a battle that is beleavable. Mothra uses wind storms produced by her wings, her sheer size, and agility against Godzilla. The special effects are excellent for its time and the story is good, too. Plus it has the two tiny girls. Except no substitutes this film far surpasses its sequel, "Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth". A real sci fi classic!

Summary: Much better than its prequel!
Review: Right after King Kong vs G, you wouldn't expect much, but this movie sure delivers! IT's got a great plot, good dialogue, acting, effects (for its time period) and tons of monsters and action. Sure its a little dissapointing that Godzilla loses, but this movie is able to do that final scene with style so you don't mind much.

Summary: Not as....
Review: Not as good as the new '92 version of Godzilla Vs. Mothra. Mothra, the original movie was better than this.
