You are right. It's difficult. I made a version with a shaky camera movement, I think it looks better. I also added an orange tint to the smoke bursting from the eye.

Still CGI-ish. But I think that's all I can do on this shot for now.
I think that's better, but you should take out the green lens flares, they scream CGI. Also, the background looks way too smooth and clean, as do the lights. Maybe it should be color-corrected to match the look of the originals? Otherwise, good job.
