GODZILLA VS. MOSURA (1992) ** I don't know what's more confusing: having a confusing plot, or just pretending there was one there in the fist place. Am I the only misguided soul who thinks you're supposed to vote for Godzilla in a Godzilla movie? Well, most of the time anyway I guess, it's kind of like politics what with allegiances shifting like..there's a great line in this, something like "He's causing tidal waves everywhere he goes. That will make it easy to locate him." The battle scenes are what it's all about anyway (oh yeah, also the message Take Care of the Earth[!]), and they're loud and fast and frenetic and frantic and memorable and clichéd, in that honoured and respectable way. The scenes and sounds surrounding Mothra's metamorphosis are kind of moving, actually. What?, I said "kind of." You probably won't cry or anything. And the shots of Mothra and Battra flying through the air with outstretched wings.but there's never anything like Godzilla storming out of the clouds of chaos he's created. I'm tempted to say that I think they left a few loose plot strands, except I believe that I already went on record as saying that there wasn't a plot: Again, Godzilla transcends human logic and understanding, and puny human weapons.
