Both are crummy movies, but, having seen them both, my answer would be "The Giant Claw." Sure, he has size, and a wingspan covering more area than any other flying object--except maybe Rodan!!!!!!!!--but close-up, he not only looks like the puppet he is, but his face has an almost friendly, comical look, like someone in a Warner Bros. cartoon.
"Reptilicus" is genuinely violent and creepy, especially with that yellow glop spewing from his mouth. However, his poster is actually better than the entire movie, and, girls, I am telling you, you have to see the scene where he is hauled through Copenhagen on a wheeled dolly!!!!!! It is one of the cheesiest scenes in this genre's history.
Despite "The Giant Claw" being dumbest, it is actually the better movie. It has Mara Corday, and a fair amount of tension and suspense. "Reptilicus," despite all the effort made to make it look good as a film, comes off as strictly sub-par!
Now, let's go have tea, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
