Why would you say that? Superman could beat almost anyone, much less a giant dinosaur. At least Godzilla has always just been a dinosaur who has big and breaths atomic fire, his writers have consistency. They created an awesome and iconic character that was strong enough and memorable enough to last all this time on his own, even though most of his movies are shit. If they're not genuinely enjoyable they're at least good for a laugh.
Conversely, while iconic and memorable, Superman has gone through more power and continuity alterations than the Transformers. The fact that his writers have always expected us comics readers to go "Oh look, he has human problems! Like us!", and ignore the fact that he is more or less a god in every other area, unlike us, does the double job of insulting my intellect and making him entirely unrelatable. It's hard to genuinely feel "Oh that sucks what he's going through with Lois! I can relate to that.", because I'd personally perk up a bit if I knew I could fly around the world in seconds, had unfathomable strength, immunity to pretty much everything else and enough potential groupies to make Motley Crue blush. All of this makes Superman, in my opinion, about much as fun as a video game with infinite ammo and health; very, for about five minutes.
Nothing personal, I just find it frustrating when people who like Superman pretty much still feel they have to wave their "Our favourite character is more powerful than yours!" card in our faces, despite it being tremendously ill gotten.
Anyway, on topic; Predator was always cool, Cloverfield monster is an excellent design, the eponymous creature from The Thing, too.

I agree about Starship troopers. Best CGI IMO to date. I was amazed when I saw this movie in theatres and still am to this day. Why on earth can't any movie match it? It puzzles me.
I saw Silent Hill again recently... I was amazed by Pyramidhead,again.

I am glad I am not the only one who feels this way about Superman. Superman has just gotten lame... he has no limits, yes he is pratically a god. Shit, he is even immortal... how ****ing lame is that? How do Superman's fans put up with this? You know he is the strongest... you know he will always prevail and will never die... boring.
Originally posted by BlinkyHe never died. He was beaten and had to replenish his solar energy in his cells.
Did you forget that Doomsday killed him and the writers brought him back from the "dead". He IS invincible... LAME.Enough about boring ol' Superman.
Did you forget that Doomsday later beat the crap out of an amped Superman, even broke his arm?
Did you forget that Superman along with a bunch of other heroes were no match for Superman Prime?
Superman is hardly invincible. Their are many more powerful characters.
Though yes, enough about the greatest hero ever created, Superman.
