what's the greatest movie monster of all time?

what's the greatest movie monster of all time?

Tokyo Beware!

For me, it's the monster from Colverfield.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverfield_%28creature%29   I love the conept of a monster on a rapage not because it's evil, but because it's scared, and seeing it from a regular Joe's point of view make it all themore terrifying.

Godzilla. Not only is he the "King of the Monsters" but he also holds the record for "Longest Living Monster", "Most Victories against Other Monsters", "Most damage to Human Cities", and "Most Unkillable".

In Godzilla vs. Megaguires, the Japanese government built a Black Hole Gun and blasted him with it, and he still survived.

Also, no other monster you can mention has survived anywhere NEAR the amount of firepower that the Big G has. Lasers, Masers, Mech versions of himself, Navy vessels, you name it he fought and destroyed it.

Big G has also never defended humans. He never stepped around a building or protected people. He just defends his territory from other monsters.

Also, the Hollywood Godzilla's name is Zilla.

Let's not forget the monster with one of the coolest rampage sequenses of all time: Gorgo's mother. Before the movie ends, she eats a battleship, takes a barrage of tank shells to the chest, and stomps London into the ground, all to save her kid.

Now THAT'S commitment.

Don't forget he had survived getting acid thrown at his face. ow if youguys are looking for a real scary monster,

I'm thinking which would be worse if it was coming for you. Terminator I guess. But if you happen to be out on a small boat the Jaws would be the scaryist.

 

Although I admit it would suddenly get a great deal less scary once you got back on shore.

I know the OP called for "movie monster" but tv had it's monsters too.

How about little Anthony Fremont from the original Twilight Zone episode, "It's a Good Life".

It's a Good Life 1

It's a Good Life 2

"wished" to cornfield.

Speaking of which, I was wondering: did that mean Anthony made them vanish from existence, or did he just put them in some sort of alternate dimension?

I'm not sure if it was ever explained in detail what happened to people, creatures or things once they were dismissed to the cornfield, but surely it was not good, a good guess they were dead and the cornfield represented a sort of dumping ground for his experiments gone bad (think Spore) and people that displeased him.

Here's a wiki link with a little more info.  It's a Good Life

Here's another link to the Twilight Zone (second generation) where the story of Anthony continues.   It's Still a Good Life

I wished that little bastard Anthony could have been killed.

I liked the remake of The Thing for it's atmosphere, but how anybody can say they were scared by a monster that was nerver defined in the movie is beyond me. There's a difference between being scared of the monster and being scared of what it can do to you. Now, the original Thing IS something to be scared of on both fronts. It was also a better movie in a lot of ways. The remake had serious script problems in that those guys never liked each other in the first place. There was little or no character progression in that regard at all, and the whole movie was based on paranoia and suspicion of the guy next to you. That should have been contrasted a lot better than it was, which was practically nil. The original didn't have those psychological elements unless you consider the mutual distrust between the scientists and the military, but character interaction was crucial to it. The original which could have been an action movie wasn't, and the remake which shouldn't have been was. Missed opportunities aside, the remake did have a lot going for it as far as quality of actors, and Kurt Russel rarely disappoints. It's stood the test of time despite it's flaws and despite being a resounding flop at the box office. There's talk of more remakes, so watching the skies might be an activity to engage in for fans.

Is there a Gort in the remake? In the preview something looked similar to the orginal Gort, but it was only a glimpse.
