Yes, rules that the filmmaker himself shows Kong abiding by (very astute to point out that he crushed the theater balcony, GC).
Similarly, I will accept T-Rexes existing on skull island (even though they are regular size while apes and bugs are not), but I will not accept them swinging on vines.
Sometimes it's best not to push the belief-suspension envelope too far, lest it break ... and then ruin the suspension you might have otherwise achieved.
Now that I think of it, it was a mistake to have dinos be "normal size" while mammals and insects were radioactive-huge. True, the spider pit sequence was conceived for the original 1933 King Kong, but it was never included in the film. And the flying creatures played by vampire bats in the new version were portrayed by pterodactyls in the original. Thus Kong was the only giant creature on the island, and the conundrum of why some creatures were big while others were not was sidestepped through Kong being a singularity.
