Summary: An excellent Godzilla flick, but a lousy DVD
Review: "Godzilla vs. Mothra" is probably my all-time favorite Godzilla movie, mostly because it has better-than-average special effects and an ecological angle to the storyline--don't exploit the environment, or there will be dire consequences--that still resonates today.

This DVD reissue, though, is woeful, especially in comparison to the Simitar DVD put out a few years ago. That DVD gave viewers the option of widescreen and fullscreen images, though it was light on extras. This reissue from Sony only offers the fullscreen version, and a scratchy print of it at that. And the extras? Nothing but a commercial for the "destroy All Monsters" video game.

Go find a copy of the Simitar DVD instead and avoid this one unless, like me, you're fond of wasting money.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It's Okay.
Review: The movie was okay. It's one of the better Godzilla films.
The one thing that REALLY makes this movie stink is that the unstoppable Godzilla was beaten by bugs! That SUCKS!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Godzilla Vs Mothra Sony 2002 release
Review: Godzilla Vs Mothra (1964)(Sony 2002) 2/5
This is my first time seeing this film in the godzilla series but this review is about the dvd not the film. The picture is quite clear without much damage, the colour is okay to, pretty much it is an okay print not bad but not great. It is not in it's original widescreen format either. It shows signs of compression but not to the point of pixelisation. The frame rate is 24 fields 24 frames this improves on the King of the Monsters dvd as that was done in a standard NTSC VHS format of 60 fields 30 frames with a frame doubled every 4 which isn't as nice a picture. This has the same 'extras' as King of the Monsters which are the advert for the tie-in GameCube game and another 5.1 remix which makes everything sound like it's in a bathroom.
Good Points: It has a little fun animated menu, it also has quite a few chapters at good points.
Bad Points:It hasn't been remastered or restored, it's not in widescreen, the 5.1 sucks and not even a trailer as an extra??
The rating above is for this DVD not the film, I rated it 2 stars because it is watchable as a bog standard version of the movie but more dedicated fans should save their money for a future release.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This is movie is bad and outdated.
Review: I hear so many people talk about how much they liked this movie, they say it's the best Godzilla film ever, but I have to tell you that this movie really sucks. Mothra and those little ladies who sing to her, are the worst ever to be used in these movies. The Godzilla suit look increibly bad, and the film print on this DVD looks like it came from a terrible copy. Not worth your money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gojira Tai Mosura
Review: ... Godzilla vs. Mothra" is everything "King Kong vs. Godzilla" should have been. The entire film oozes quality. Drama, Plot, Effects are spot on perfect. The pacing of the film is just right, action seems to proceed naturally throughout. The music for this movie is awesome. If all the Godzilla movies had been this good, I probably wouldn't have a life, because I would keep watching them over and over again. :-)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good movie, [inexpensive] transfer
Review: This is one of the best of the early Godzilla movies, and as far as Godzilla movies go, its a 5 star. Unfortunately, the DVD is not really up to par. It is NOT in letterbox format, and some scenes appear to be cut short. It seems this disc was made as cheaply as possible to be little more than an advertisement for the new video game. This movie is a cherished childhood memory.
Its a shame they couldn't do it right.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 4 Star Cheese
Review: This one is pretty good. The thing about Godzilla movies, everyone knows they are cheesy (even the producers) and know one cares. Mothra is pretty cool(my personal favorite Godzilla nemesis) and ya' gotta love the fairy twins singing to the egg. Keep in mind the rating is done compared to other Godzilla movies, after all Godzilla is in a realm of his own.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The First Godzilla Film to be a classic with another monster
Review: This film is good because of the storyline. Godzilla suite in this one is the best of the 1960s godzilla suites. This Godzilla almost gives the same mood, of the original, King of the Monsters. The music is great. The effects are an improvement from Godzilla vs. King kong. The effects may seem choppy for this milllemium.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: don't kill the song
Review: I don't know how many minutes are cut from the original but the sequence the fairies sung in the island was terrible, since some lines(not whole song but sentences sometimes, musical bars,i mean) was lost in this DVD...
the movie itself is good.
