Mothra vs Godzilla (1964) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows an egg that washes off an island and into the ocean. The egg hatches and shortly after Mothra appears. Godzilla, ever the menacing sorts, decides there's only room for one monster in Tokyo. Will Mothra join Godzilla in his destruction or try to stop him?
This movie is directed by Ishirô Honda (Godzilla, 1954) and stars Akira Takarada (Godzilla, 1954), Yuriko Hoshi (Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster), Hiroshi Koizumi (Mothra) and Kenji Sahara (Godzilla, 1954).
I loved the story setup and the giant Easter egg that eventually becomes Mothra. I'll always enjoy the concept of the little ladies being the spokesman for the tribe and Mothra. Godzilla's emergence was great but his facial expressions in the film had me cracking up. The final battle is entertaining and also pretty funny.
Overall this is a film that's more fun than good but an absolutely must see for fans of the Godzilla franchise. Mothra is a unique and fun characters. It's easy to see why she became a mainstay within the franchise. I'd score this a 6.5/10 and strongly recommend seeing it.
