The fourth film in the Godzilla franchise, Mothra vs. Godzilla marked a brief snap-back in the franchise. While the previous film went on become the highest grossing entry of all time it was more of a salary man comedy with giant monsters, with the U.S. cut feeling more like a monster movie. Mothra vs. Godzilla brings back a scary Godzilla and terrorizes Japan with the only hope being another Toho superstar: Mothra.
One of the most beloved entries and one many fans say that non-fans can enjoy. Currently has a 89 percent out of nine reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
