It's very annoying when reading books or watching movies in English. "A 5-feet tall monster ...". As a reader I have no idea if that's big or small.

A 5-foot monster will be a few times bigger than a house cat, a few times smaller than a camel. Approximately. How long is a literal meter? However long whoever says, by definition.
