I am not basing the monsters in the book on specific movie versions, but more on a sort of distillate of all the versions. For example, the most recent version of the Robotic Giant Radioactive Lizard has a coating that almost immunizes it from the Giant Radioactive Lizard's breath weapon , and actually uses it to fuel a giant plasma grenade in its chest. I avoided getting into this kind of detail, although players who want it may easily add it.

I think this is probably the best approach. It is fun playing "spot the monster" with the roster and figuring out just who is who.
Also there are so many toy dragons, robots, mecha, giant lizards, weird space bugs, etc out there that it is good to encourage creativity.
I was looking online today at the "Future is Wild" models of speculative future beasts and thinking how much fun they would be to rampage through a city with. Not to mention my giant plastic jellyfish that gets called out for aeronef games. I'll have to sat it up.
Also as you note, the powers, abilities, and even the look of the. Rubber suit change from one movie to the next, so trying to have an "official" version is likely a hopeless quest.

Give one homogenised version of the character. Enthusiasts can use that as a guide if they want stat up their own favourite version of the character (after it got back out of a volcano or returned from a trip to space or whatever).
