Is Mothra Vs Godzilla actually a bad movie?

It's considered one of the best but is it actually bad?

We have to remember that Godzilla loses to two caterpillars. Caterpillars!

This thread is pointless. Why does it exist.
And does "Godzilla losing" make it a bad movie? Seriously. That's bad logic there.

Godzilla 1998 is a bad movie... Any Uwe Boll movie is a bad movie. Mothra vs. Godzilla: One of THE BEST, and most likely THE BEST of the Godzilla movies.

Nope!
It's got some of the best monster effects of the Showa bunch, superior monster movements, amazing special effect shots, and a human story that acts as a satire against the greed of men.

Also, those caterpillars had a mom who survived nuclear grade flames whilst in a cocoon, and its not like the caterpillars beat Godzilla up and left him for dead, they used intellect and immobilized Godzilla by wrapping him up in web.
I feel like the "GOJIRA BEATEN BY CATPILLARS" is a poor excuse to hate this movie, yes, they defeated him, but they did so without physically overpowering Godzilla, one of the twins even DIED in between this film and GTTHM, most likely because of being smacked around while biting Goji's tail.

They aren't caterpillars, they're monstrous deities that have the form and abilities (and then some) of giant caterpillars.

This topic seems to be rather pointless, as it's pretty much agreed upon that it's one of the top films in the franchise.
