Leave your thoughts about Skyscraper.
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeSkyscraper doesn’t change the action-movie game the way “Die Hard” did, but it’s a solidly entertaining summer diversion best enjoyed on the biggest theater — or even better, drive-in — screen you can find. And if you’re afraid of heights, make sure there’s an armrest — or even better, an arm — that you can grab. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA smoldering lump of action hokum...this lumbering behemoth is a pretty humorless affair, except for the unintended laughs the ludicrous excesses and general cheesiness are likely to provoke. |
| CinapseEd TravisSkyscraper is nothing if not formulaic, but Thurber delivers a screenplay that's archetypal and sets up and pays off many beats and gags and set pieces. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereA dumbbell "Die Hard" ripoff held together with duct tape. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePiers MarchantIt is this unexpected bout with humanity that gives the film at least some sort of emotional grounding, such that the vastly more ridiculous stunts and set-pieces, while exceedingly ludicrous, don't weigh the film down entirely with their CGI silliness. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamAll "Skyscraper" has going for it is a tall building. |
| Pasadena WeeklyCarl KozlowskiSkyscraper takes elements from zillions of action blockbusters and disaster movies and mixes them together in a combination that feels familiar in all the right ways yet preposterously original on its own terms overall. |
| The PlaylistJoe BlessingHollywood has been showing people hanging off of things for over 100 years, and if that’s something you enjoy, Skyscraper is the pinnacle of this trope, forcing The Rock to dangle, hang, and swing at insane heights above the street time and time again. This is the MO of the whole movie, taking things that have worked before and pumping them up to The Rock-sized spectacle; it’s not too original but it provides what it promises. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThurber doesn't replicate the intensity of "Die Hard" or the heat of "Towering Inferno," keeping things glossy and unthreatening, choosing to celebrate Johnson's umpteenth pass at a likeable hero instead of emphasizing disaster movie suspense. |
| indieWireEric KohnSkyscraper plays out like a metaphor for diminishing returns — Johnson keeps climbing, higher and higher, until there’s nowhere left to go but down. |
