Interesting take, and I have minor quibbles about the pacing as well, but...

... the point you made about credibility is not, in my estimation, a very good example; here's your quote:

>>> "The visual effects are indeed marvelous. But it was about the time when our hero and heroine grabbed the leg of a convenient flying monster, who then conveniently flew low enough over a river that they could drop off, that believability went out the window. Of course it's a fantasy, but even a fantasy can maintain a level of credibility. This becomes about as credible as a Roadrunner cartoon." <<<

The truth is that it was a matter of size and weight distribution. The flyng bat/terradactyl thingy was about twice the size of the hero & heroine. It couldn't maintain altitude supporting their combined weight and was dragged down straing to remain aloft. That scene, to me and my wife anyway, was entirely plausible, and far from "Roadrunner-like" in execution. In fact, that scene was more plausible than the one in the original, where they jump and plummet hundreds of feet into the river after Kong pulls the vine back up. Who could survive that?
