Godzilla vs. Mothra: Continuing down the road of the Heisei films is this remake of the classic Mothra vs. Godzilla, which I reviewed earlier this week. Of course this film adds in some elements from the original Mothra movie while also adding in one of the coolest monsters ever, Battra.While there is a lot to love in the form of the monster scenes, sadly there is a lot to dislike in the human scenes. There is a lot here taken from (or inspired by, take your pick) from Indiana Jones. Also much of the plot is ridiculous with an over-zealous environmentalist wacko theme that is quite unnecessary.
Still, I always liked this film and it's nice to have a subtitled copy. I've seen the film at least a dozen times before so it's hard not to recommend at the end.
