Mothra vs. Godzilla: Everyone has their favorite Godzilla film. Mine tends to alternate but it usually stays between the first one, Godzilla Raids Again and this film.

While on the surface this does look like just another movie with guys in rubber suits fighting one another, the human drama as well as simple themes of greed and, of course, nuclear radiation make this film a step above your average kiddy show fare.

Mothra vs. Godzilla is presented here in the finest form. Widescreen and dubbed or uncut and subtitled. Heck, they even had the original AIP prints with the "Godzilla vs. the Thing" title cards. The extras on Akira Ifukube and poster art are well appreciated. As always, I skipped the commentary track so I can't comment on that.

Highly recommended!
