But how unrealistic do the physics have to be before they become ludicrous with respect to what people reasonably expect from such a movie? For example, we laugh at the sight of Wile E. Coyote “hanging” in the air just before falling thousands of feet (then walking away from the fall) in a Road Runner cartoon, but do we really want the same level of nonsense from a monster movie? For some people, apparently they don't mind if it's on such a level. Maybe they just don’t care if it’s not scary or thrilling or moving (because of no sense of any real danger or tension or drama), any more than they care about those things in the cartoon. It’s just eye-candy fluff to them (“hee hee! I love the Beep beep! and the crash!”). Some of us were hoping for a little more, though.
