Movie Reviews of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah / Godzilla & Mothra: The Battle for Earth
Movie Review: It's 1992. Now they need Godzilla to save Japan.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the 18th film in the Godzilla film series.
Is Ghidorah about to revisit Tokyo? A strange UFO has been seen flying across the sky. Through satellite pictures they can confirm it is a UFO. They also can find Godzilla who has been kept alive by anti-nuclear bacteria. The UFO lands and five selected people are allowed to board the UFO. There are robots aboard that look like humans. They must defeat Godzilla. They time-warp to February 6, 1944. They see Godzilla (before first film in 1954) and he is wounded. While teleporting Godzilla to 1992, little ghidorahs were released on Mt. Fugi. When they came back to 1992, Godzilla is gone (for now), but the three-headed monster, Ghidorah returns to Japan. The little ghidorahs had merged together by the radiation of the UFO leaving. Now they need Godzilla to save japan.
The next film in the series: Godzilla and Mothra: Battle For Earth(1992).
Godzilla and Mothra: Battle For Earth (1992)
Good start for a film.
Now that Godzilla has survived the attack of King Ghidorah and is back underwater to rest, a meteorite hits the ocean and re-energizes Godzilla. Meanwhile, a Japanese man has found a gold idol in the temple, then the curse is upon him. The temple starts to collapse with him in it. He does escape without the idol.
To aviod a jail sentence he is offered to lead an excursion to a cave. There they find drawings on the wall of young Mothra. The weather is changing because of the meteorite. As they exit the other side of the cave, they meet the Cosmos fairies and see the egg of Mothra. Mothra returns who we have not seen since 1964.
Mothra is bad as a larve, but once it becomes a moth, it is an insect of peace.
The next film in the series: Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (II) [1993].
Update: Godzilla may return in 2012. A deal has been made with TOHO Inc. Warner Bros. will be co-producing and co-financing.

Summary of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah / Godzilla & Mothra: The Battle for Earth
Two Godzilla films with Godzilla's well-known enemies.Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure
Rating: NR
Release Date: 7-OCT-2003
Media Type: DVD
That's right, they didn't stop making Gozilla films in the mid-'70s like you thought, but resurrected the rubberized reptile in the mid-'80s and have continued making crazy, clear-your-Saturday-afternoon-schedule offerings to this very day. And here in this double-feature disc are two of the craziest from the early '90s.
Godzilla vs. King Ghidora involves some western folks in a flying saucer from the future who come back to warn Japan of its imminent demise by Godzilla. But their real aim is to aid in that destruction, thus keeping Japan from becoming an economic powerhouse. Along the way, some cute little creatures they've brought with them are transformed into King Ghidora, the not-so-cute nemesis of Godzilla, and the two inevitably battle it out as unwitting champions of their times. The special effects are tops, the action is silly and pulpish, and the plot is lifted partially from Godzilla vs. Monster Zero (1968). If you don't watch this film with a silly grin on your face, you just aren't a Godzilla fan.
Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth is a variation on one of the best of the old Godzilla films, Godzilla vs. The Thing (1964). When a meteorite hits the Earth, Godzilla is awakened, along with Mothra and his evil twin Battra, the Black Mothra! Mothra must save the Earth from these scourges, with the help of its minions, the Cosmos, those twin miniature girls who sing the eerily beautiful Mothra theme from the earlier film. And the special effects are even more impressive and hallucinatory than before, if that's possible.
The pleasure of seeing these rarities on DVD is only slightly hampered by their truncated aspect ratios; yes, Mothra's widescreen wings have been clipped down to paltry pan and scan, and thus denuded of its native Tohoscope. --Jim Gay
