How close is "Kong" to a real gorilla?

It is nice to have blend shapes (a sculpted musculature
in different  
phases of strain) that the animator can dial up or down
based on what  
the action calls for.  Of course if you don't
understand the skeletal  
system, then you have no hope of good musculature
shapes.  A lot of  
these things add up and their ommision on any level
creates a big  
rubbery mass of animation that is making many directors
shy away from  
using computer generated characters.

I think I know the reason why this type of critter was
used by Jackson.  I seem to recall that he wanted to
make this film a homage to the original, hence the
Brontosaurs were supposed to resemble the Brontosaurus
from the original film.....
