If you want to see Mothra in some decent films, look up the Mothra trilogy. The first two (called Rebirth of Mothra and Rebirth of Mothra II in English) were released on a DVD combo pack; all three films got released on Blu-Ray earlier this year (which may be what finally makes me get a Blu Ray player).

Mothra Leo (as he's called in the Japanese version) is an utter beast and quite frankly is a lot of fun to watch fight. The films are also very vibrant (which makes sense: you really can't have a film about a giant butterfly look like a Call of Duty set piece), and the fights themselves are decent (though it is a little bit absurd for Death Ghidorah to fly around completely unimpaired while he's missing one of his wings). Death Ghidorah is probably the film's one misstep: he looks stupid here, and he looked even dumber when they recycled him as "Keizer Ghidorah/Monster X II" in Final Wars. Ghidorah just doesn't work as a quadruped.
