User blog:TheWarrior29/Mothra vs Godzilla review.

To get ready for Godzilla 2014, i am going to review the all Godzilla films on Hulu and Netflix. So here in no particular order, my Godzilla review.

Mothra vs. Godzilla 

Yesterday in watched Mothra vs.Godzilla, a film that added the Kaiju Mothra into the Godzilla universe. But that's just it,  around this time it wasn't a Godzilla universe. It was an Avengers style shared universe between Gojira, Mothra, Godzilla Raids Again, King Kong vs. Godzilla , Rodan, Varan the Unbelievable, and Atragon, with each monster being (One of the) star(s), and movies like this being crossovers, and not a a movie about Godzilla and a supporting monster.

The Good:
 * Godzilla and Mothra, two of Toho's most popular monsters battle it out in an epic showdown.
 * An engaging story and creative way to get these two together.
 * It was down to earth and was a good mix between the lighthearted and the mature.
 * It felt like what it was one of the two things it was supposed to be: a sequel to Mothra.
 * It is a film that has relevance and importance and leaves it's mark on the development of the Showa era.

The Bad
 * The human villains,  Kumayama and  Torahata, where total idiots. They begin to get threats from Mothra to give her her egg back or face the consequences. They try not only to keep the egg, but also the Shobijin, witch in itself is a whole new level of stupid, considering the last Mothra film was about just that, but there it was a little more justified because Mothra was unknown at the time, but here, these people have no idea of what Mothra could do even though the events of the last Mothra film should be the day the Earth stood still. It's even worse considering  there in the exact country Mothra last attacked. It's not like the film didn't have a perfectly good villain already.
 * While it does feel like a sequel to Mothra, it doesn't feel like it has enough of material from King Kong vs Godzilla, the other film it was supposed to be a sequel of.

Even though Mothra vs Godzilla has it's faults, it is one of the best in the franchise and one of my favorites. I'm giving it an 8/10
