  • fluidfoundation, on 02/02/2008, -2/+52I disagree. RoboMaid from Spaceballs was much much larger.

    ...Suck!... Suck!...... Suck!....
  • SirBrittanicus, on 02/02/2008, -1/+42Fail for no Cthulhu.
  • doctechnical, on 02/02/2008, -2/+25C'thulu wears Godzilla as an earring.
  • Jordan117, on 02/02/2008, -0/+20Nope. So what is the biggest monster?

    It turns out it's man.

    *DRAMATIC MUSIC*
  • boltoktherapist, on 02/02/2008, -1/+19Does Unicron from Transformers the Movie count?
  • spacecoyote1966, on 02/02/2008, -1/+16They were rating the biggest monsters, not the smallest.
  • norman619, on 02/02/2008, -0/+15Politics doesn't go with everything.
  • TheSatan, on 02/02/2008, -0/+14Did you even read this?
  • amnesiac096, on 02/02/2008, -0/+13if you don't click any links, then no, you are ok to read this.
  • elliotys, on 02/02/2008, -2/+13But were in agreement. It is a monster.
  • norman619, on 02/02/2008, -0/+10He's a nuclear powered lizard which breaths nuclear fire. Not sure how any of the giant monsters can top that.
  • norman619, on 02/02/2008, -1/+11Or any of the other Old Ones
  • peeinian, on 02/02/2008, -1/+10What of The Cracken from Clash of the Titans?
  • MrMacMan, on 02/02/2008, -1/+10ugh. horrible
  • ieataquacrayons, on 02/02/2008, -1/+10Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
    Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
    Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff.
    Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
    Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.
    Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes...
    Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave.
    Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.


    Best scene ever.
  • DeathRay2K, on 02/02/2008, -0/+9I'm pretty sure the King of All Cosmos is bigger than all of them stacked together.
  • NathanielJ, on 02/02/2008, -0/+8That, and he was clearly on all fours for at least part of the movie.
  • tehknotte, on 02/02/2008, -0/+7W-W-W-W-WALL OF TEXT!
  • Mr.Gone, on 02/02/2008, -2/+9Megamaid! Dug for the reference :D
  • Arramol, on 02/02/2008, -0/+7A Dune sandworm could eat Godzilla for lunch. Those frequently reach 400m in length. The first one Paul Atreides rode was apparently ~2.75km long.

  • Narrator, on 02/02/2008, -0/+7This list is a giant fail because it doesn't include the Cracken from Clash of the Titans.
  • markperia, on 02/02/2008, -0/+7Who ya gonna call?
  • norman619, on 02/02/2008, -1/+8That was still Godzilla. A poorly exicuted US version but the same giant nuclear fire breathing lizard/dragon.
  • JulioHJ, on 02/02/2008, -0/+6How long did that take to type?
  • TexMachina, on 02/02/2008, -0/+6Another useless list.

    Kroll BTW was artificially large due to a piece of the Key to Time being contained within it. The Key had variable mass and could do ***** like that. Once the Doctor removed the piece of the key Kroll turned back into a squid that was barely big enough to make a serving of calamari. The fact that Kroll is virtually unknown outside of avid Dr Who fans makes putting it on the list was a bit silly in any case.

    Besides all that a Budong from Farscape would easily be a lot bigger than Kroll. I believe It was a 100 kilometers or more in length.

    And Unicron was a robot, doesn't count. If you can say Unicron I can say V'ger.
  • mrsneakypat, on 02/02/2008, -0/+6Cthulhu is definitely down for the most evil.
  • supermanred, on 02/02/2008, -0/+6That movie could've released without the Godzilla name and nobody would say "Hey, that's Godzilla!"
  • Xinephzero, on 02/02/2008, -4/+10Oops.
    Sorry for being stupid.
  • markperia, on 02/02/2008, -0/+5his "bulge" is bigger than any of them.
  • Langford, on 02/02/2008, -0/+5Being bigger or taller than Godzilla is one thing, but standing up against his atomic breath is an entirely different story.
  • Brad324, on 02/02/2008, -2/+7not forgiven. I condemn you to hell.
  • MackPrime, on 02/02/2008, -0/+5Unicron
  • Lockhart, on 02/02/2008, -1/+6Wow, if you still haven't seen the movie yet, THEN GO WATCH IT NOW!
  • Icyfenix, on 02/02/2008, -1/+6And "satan" from "the satan pit" in doctor who season 1 of the newest doctor(season 2 of the series)
  • saltinekracka20, on 02/02/2008, -1/+6When was he in a movie? I think that's what we're going off of here.
  • xaxxon, on 02/02/2008, -0/+4absolutely. And he was an entire planet. Beat that. Where's your star-sized monstar? your solar system-sized monster?
  • elnerdo, on 02/02/2008, -0/+4Godzilla changes size in every different scene, though.
  • colonels1020, on 02/02/2008, -18/+22Hillary Clinton?
  • markthegoth, on 02/02/2008, -2/+6no cthulu love :(
  • inactive, on 02/02/2008, -0/+4It is a height vs. reach question. The Cloverfied monster clearly smacks a building about 80 floors up, without leaving the ground. But it has those long ass are/leg/whatevers.

    In one scene, when you see the monster only partially (early on), it is halfway standing up, and is about 20 stories tall. I am just going to have to go see the movie again tomorrow, to settle this!
  • alexanEmpire, on 02/02/2008, -0/+4Did you also know that Gamera is friend to all children.

    Gamera is filled with meat,
    Gamera is really neat!
  • davecor, on 02/02/2008, -1/+5It's a MACHINE.
    You fail.
  • br0ck, on 02/02/2008, -1/+5Their line, "But he does take a swing at the Statue of Liberty, which is only 40 meters tall. So he can't be too much taller than it is, or it wouldn't even have been in his line of vision." is wrong because it's on a tiny island, so the Cloverfield monster would have to be standing in the water which is probably fairly deep right there.
  • anagoge, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3What about Bad Robot!
  • anagoge, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3Pride
  • allisonaxe, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3actually, the weapon was called the Glaive. Krull was the planet it took place on. you were right about "The beast" but it wasn't a giant monster of the caliber in the article.
  • yoshi413, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann wins over all. He may not be a monster, but he's bigger than a ***** galaxy. A ***** GALAXY!!
  • graemee, on 02/02/2008, -1/+4Flying Spaghetti Monster is the largest. Ramen
