[QUOTE="Insight, post: 2795752, member: 11437"] One negative I took away from the movie, and this is really just nitpicking I guess. Kong is huge. Massive. I would say his mass is equal to an eighteen-wheeler with a trailer attached and a full load. When something that big moves around, it causes a disturbance. Kong jumping around should have caused a LOT more collateral damage to his environment. The ground should shake noticeably. Trees and shrubs should go flying. Pieces of cliff facinng should be loosened and fall. Etc. This does happen sometimes, but in other scenes, there is no physical reaction to Kong jumping around. And this brings me to a related point. SPOILER:: [spoiler]Any idea what would happen to the street at the end of the movie when Kong falls from the TOP OF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING??? My guess is that he would not be laying there on the surface. The impact not only would have completely destroyed everything around - and the debris killing most if not all bystanders - but Kong's body would have gone right through the street, through the sewers below, and probably into the subway tunnels.[/spoiler] I still give it a solid 9. Aside from those minor technical nitpicks, it was still a great movie. [/QUOTE]
