A man decides that he wants the world to know he has a very small penis, and so builds a tall building because no Bin in his right Laden would ever think of launching a terrorist attack against a tall building. Ever. So when someone thinks of launching a terrorist attack against his small penis, the wealthy man hires an ex FBI agent/CIA operative/Navy Seal/Eagle Scout to lose the iPad that doubles as a Kevlar condom. Luckily, the Rock's Mario-esque platforming skills save the penis...er, day.

So...this has "If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape" as a catchphrase. which I guess would have been OK if it was Arnold. Go on...read it again in Arnold's voice. Better right?

Sometimes it's hard for me to watch Rock movies 'cause I'm mostly just picturing him having sex with everybody else in the movie. It's so much more visually interesting than what's usually on screen. This probably comes the closest yet to aligning the two, our fuck-shy Adonis ascending a giant phallic symbol to which he is "biometrically connected" to get access to a giant clitoral symbol, his clever manipulation of which is the thing that finally gets his wife to say "I love you" back.

"Hear me out: What if we remade Die Hard except with a weaker plot, less memorable villains, a setting that makes no sense whatsoever, and no hint that the hero is anything but a perfect husband and father... and made sure to get enough Chinese actors in there to secure funding?" "Yer a genius, boy. Make that picture."

They made a big deal leading up to this about the rock playing an amputee ... bitch please it’s still the Rock, he could murder me if he was just a head and torso. There must’ve been a giant fight on set when the Rock found out he would only be riding in a helicopter.

It's obvious they put a lot of money into making this movie. So, it's a little sad that the story was not better. It has a few impressive visuals, but for each good aspect, there is a bad plot point, dumb dialog or unconvincing action to undermine it. Characters and performances were not always believable. Music was intense at times, but overall the production quality is quite good. Lots of action. Worth watching, but not great.

Not the Die-Hard-with-a-Prosthetic-Leg film I was hoping for, but a decent enough flick with some clever action pieces. The mirror-sequence finale makes no sense at all, but it's cool so whatever. Plus five points for restarting since every tech problem is solved by restarting (and it was set up by dialogue). Negative 5 points for not Rock Bottoming someone through the pearl and having him fall all the way down.

The plot is dumb and every single character is EXTREMELY stupid. The villains are lame. The Rock playing an amputee doesn't work for me, it makes him looks fake too often. The action scenes have way too many quick cuts, it makes them look awkward. Lost it when the plot ended with the woman learning to solve tech problems by rebooting a machine. I went in expecting a cheap Mission Imposible: Die Hard. Instead, I got a 80s action movie with early 00s visuals. Oh well.

I'm thinking of reassessing how I rate movies. "Skyscraper" isn't *that* bad, not terrible enough to shake my confidence as a critic anyhow, but not one singular element of this deeply derivative slog impacted me on any level for even one solitary second. How do I rate a film like that? I can't give a 60 just for being inoffensively bad, nor can I give it a 0 for being nothing at all. So thanks, "Skyscraper". Your insight's helped a bunch. A 20 will do just fine.

Skyscraper is completely ridiculous but surprisingly enjoyable. If you switch off your brain and take absolutely nothing seriously then there is definitely fun to be had. Dwayne Johnson is a charismatic lead and I suppose his prosthetic leg is both a gimic and different. And I found the set pieces incredibly gripping and enjoyable throughout. Yes there is a complete lack of originality, character development, impressive special effects and so on but I've seen worse Die Hard rip offs than this.

Irresistible, beautifully staged mash-up of THE TOWERING INFERNO and DIE HARD with the soul of a high concept B movie is a relentless thrill ride; quickly putting Johnson's hero through his paces not seen since Big Arnie's heyday! Johnson's laid-back charismatic charm is the star here, though the villainous rogues gallery highlighted by Taylor's Richard Chamberlain impression, are formidable foes. Special mention also to Campbell who brings a significant weight to what could be a thankless role.

What better enemy for our wounded everyman to fight than the hubris of a fastly advancing technological age, an age when we're reaching for the stars while missing out on the family sitting next to us? The titular Skyscaper is a wonder, a marvel, a technological feat with every care, worry, and consumer consumption thought of in advanced. In other words, it's cold capitalism. We can't find our peace by pushing into the future, or by pushing for a profit. It's at home, with a family.

The Rock's weakest big-budget mega-hit of the summer. A cheap Die Hard rip-off, where all of the characters and plans are stupid. The skyscraper was honestly pretty stupid too. It's tolerable as entertainment, but just barely.

Gotta admit I had more than enough fun with this dumb as nails thriller. Does a fair job walking the line of "turn your brain off"-stupid entertainment; I was honestly into the story as a whole at the same time as I could laugh at all the (many) ridiculous, flimsy plot points and characters - especially when the more outrageous set pieces start to kick in. If you want a dumb action flick, you can do a lot worse.

Due to a lack of original creativity, Skyscraper feels incredibly dull in every aspect. Lack of character build, very subpar effects, and lack of tension/ thrilling moments, overall, Skycraper is a moshpit of every movie like it before, seemingly stuck in the past, and refusing to push boundaries. Perhaps if this was released in the 80's we would we talking a different game, but it's fair to wonder what the Rock was thinking taking this role, when he could do such better.

Universally panned and admittedly generic, but I kind of liked it. It's certainly not a great or even really a good movie but it's kind of a throwback to ridiculously over the top action films from bygone eras where physics are just suggestions and everyone has absurd upper body strength. It's unabashedly big and dumb and undemanding, but if that's what you're in the mood for you could do worse. It's a Die Hard rip off with some good old disaster movie mixed in.

I am kind of surprised there was a U.S. market for this film only 17 years after 9/11. In regard to the plot, to quote Ron Burgundy; "Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean that really got out of hand fast." The finale in the orb-shaped virtual reality room is the worst homage to the iconic 'house of mirrors' scene in 'The Lady from Shanghai' that I have seen in any movie to date.

Besides the truly dismal script, the way 'Skyscraper' fails in every shot to communicate any sense of height, even accidentally, is a technical marvel. Dwayne Johnson, bless his heart, always looks like he's perilously hanging a few inches above a mat.

The Rock's weakest outing by a fair margin. A stupid and predictable screenplay provides no laughs and just seems like a misuse of his and Campbell's talents. Starts out with that crane scene but then inexplicably dials everything back down, and mostly lacks all sense of peril or vertiginous space. Who needs McClain crawling through broken glass when your protag just really loves duct tape. Different strokes, I guess? Completely harmless but a missed opportunity.

Frankly, I don't believe anyone could climb 100 floors on the outside of a crane, let alone with a wooden leg, but that wasn't the end of my total incredulity, oh no! but I only have 328 characters left, so you will have to imagine the other >300 moments of sheer unbelievable stupidity. This movie wins "spot the baddie in the opening 15 minutes award" hands down.

The most disappointing Dwayne Johnson movie I've seen in a long time. The plot is stupid, the music sucked, Neve Campbell and the villains were bland as hell, Dwayne Johnson seemed to be phoning it in which is a first. The stunts were very poorly staged and unbelievable and it didn't help that the CGI and green screen effects were unconvincing. You could do worse but still I expected better. I like the Rock and I usually like him even better in more serious roles but... [Full review]

I loved the high concept action set up which made me feel like I was watching one of the bigger budget Schwarzenegger/Van Damme movies of the late 80s. Sadly it didn't deliver with the inevitable Die Hard comparisons emphasising how weak so many set pieces and plot points are in this movie. That said, it does still entertain on a basic level for fans of the PG-13 action genre. While it could have been better, it could have been a whole lot worse.

Skyscraper adds itself to the list of perfectly acceptable, relatively inoffensive, utterly mediocre, Rock "the Dwayne" Johnson films. Be prepared for a veritable buffet of obvious CGI, clichés that would make the 80's proud, unnecessary family scenes and a pat-yourself-on-the-back ending. The worst thing about this movie is that it is barely entertaining, which ironically is also the best thing about it.

I'm a sucker for Dwayne Johnson films. This certainly isn't original, nor is it the best incarnation of a tired genre; but it is also exactly what I expected it to be. The action and story are both farfetched and it delivers exactly the type of mindless action film that I wanted to see. Say what you will about Dwayne Johnson, but he seems to put his all into his roles and that's all I need to see to make this an enjoyable action romp.

Kind of the same and nearly to on par with another one of The Rock's movies, San Andreas (2015). This is what he does, and this brings exactly what you'd expect. Action-deluxe, all set in a magnificent Skyscraper (2018). Very little makes sense plot-wise, but you already know by the movie format that you should turn your brain off when enjoying this. That's why I always love myself a Rock movie.

When watched on a big screen, this film had the effect on me that it was going for, which was to make my balls occasionally go inside myself and to also give me at least one mini heart attack.

This is not the most amazing film by far. Pretty predictable plot, rediculous situations, and if you like science you'll have lots to yell at.

Almost painfully average. I understand the messaging of "family motivation can make a person do incredible things", and I'm not dumping on it, BUT, you can do that same message in more interesting terms. I'll give the movie credit for casting Neve Campbell (44) to be The Rock's (46) wife -- an age-appropriate, beautiful woman -- rather than the less-realistic, gorgeous 20-something that typically inhabits these roles. That was oddly refreshing; about the only thing in this movie that was so.

It could have been so much better. The Rock was his usual self; the Hong Kong setting and characters didn't resort to being stereotypes. Unfortunately between the tiring set being on fire the entire time, the terrible exposition, the bland villains, the pointless setups, etc., this movie fell flat about halfway through for me. Neve Campbell was decent; the kids were bad and you knew nothing bad would happen to them. (Update: who TF would want to piss off The Rock by framing him?)

Skyscraper is a boring disaster thriller that feels like it's been stitched together from pieces of better movies but with the soul and intelligence lost in the process. It's dumb, shallow, loud, and pointless. How many times do we need to see The Rock—and it's just Dwayne Johnson; he rarely plays actual characters—rescue his family from "certain" doom? It turns out that I have had enough. Skyscraper failed to excite or make me come close to caring about anything that happened.
