It isn't anything groundbreaking nor is it really anything that good, but compared to some other movies that came out this year, there are worse ways you can spend 2 hours.

His character is hired as a security consultant on this incredible new building (the highest in the world). When it's sabotaged, he has to save the day and his family. Single-handedly, he overcomes outrageous obstacles and a fleet of armed baddies, but none of it is especially thrilling or even over the top in a fun way. It's big, splashy and predictable...and it's time for Johnson to find a new genre (or director).… Expand

Whatever you do, don’t look down! Hope that you aren’t scared of heights, because if you are, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s newest film might be a little hard for you to swallow and watch.

The hardest working actor in Hollywood is back, andWhatever you do, don’t look down! Hope that you aren’t scared of heights, because if you are, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s newest film might be a little hard for you to swallow and watch.

The hardest working actor in Hollywood is back, and this time, teaming up with the man behind the hit cult comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story and We’re The Millers. But instead for opting for a straight up comedy, the two team up to deliver a Die Hard inspired and overly-stylized The Towering Inferno film that is meant to be the ultimate summer movie. Skyscraper is blockbuster, Hollywood entertainment like we have never seen before. Taking cues from the best and worst summer blockbusters before it, Skyscraper is a non-stop, high octane, adrenaline filled popcorn flick for everyone.

Like any movie Dwayne Johnson does in his career at this point, he adds his undeniable charm and heart into each and every project, and the same could be felt with his newest. What makes Johnson’s Will Swayer so likeable, aside from the fact that he is the ultimate family man, who will back down to no challenge involving his family, is the fact that he is modelled like any family man before him. Relinquishing his duties form the military following a rescue mission gone wrong, Will is faced to live the rest of his life with only one leg. Luckily for him, with every painful path in life, comes beauty. Sparking a romance with the doctor who saved his life, Will finds his life ten years later in Hong Kong, as a security assessment official, who must now give his expertise and knowledge to the largest free-standing building in the world, The Pearl. With a little help from an old friend Ben (Pablo Schreiber), Will pitches his small-business motto to Zhao Long Ji (Chin Han), the architect behind The Pearl, only to land the biggest deal of his life. Excited to share the news with his family, Will celebrates his big accomplishment with his best firmed Ben, only to find that The Pearl has been taken hostage and set ablaze, with his family still in it.

From the first day of production, Skyscraper was always hailed as a homage to so many high-rise tension filled films before it. While no one ever believes anyone will be able to replace John McClane, Johnson is easily a very comparable action star with massive commercial appeal. Oozing with charisma and charm, Johnson’s character will not only becomes likeable for his personal quality traits and his unpardonable love for his family, but I’m sure that one of the biggest selling points of this film, was the fact that Johnson’s character is in fact, disabled. It is almost unheard of that action stars are in fact, disabled ex-military personnel who are still capable of kicking butt and beating bad guys. Not only does Johnson play Sawyer with class and bravado, but the film also highlights many times where his prosthetic legs becomes a tool for rescuing his family, as opposed to a weakness. This narrative driving force, and this one alone, is one of my favourite and most enjoyable, as well as respectable character traits, in recent memory in the summer blockbuster genre.

It is no surprise that Hollywood loves Johnson right now, inflicting him into, practically, every franchise available at the moment. With that said, it has come to a surprise to me that Johnson has not been inducted into the MCU yet, but I am sure time will tell.

While many would be surprised to seer Neve Campbell cast as Sarah Sawyer, Johnson’s wife in the film, it only goes to show how powerful Johnson’s presence is on screen, even when actors who have been absent from the silver screen are able to come back to revive their careers for smaller roles like this one. While the only name that matters on the movie posters may be Johnson’s, one of the best actors cast in the film is a person favourite of mine, Roland Møller, the certified baddie in Skyscraper. While Møller’s Kores Botha doesn’t have much intent, fibre or much to do or say within the film, but it is always great seeing foreign actors breaking through into Hollywood films. Møller was astonishing in one of my favourite foreign films in the last couple years in Land of Mine. Skyscraper surely will have many palms sweating, many hearts racing and people forcing themselves to cover their eyes thanks to some very crazy and absurd stunt work and visual effects of Will Sawyer jumping, dangling and racing in and around the fictional largest building in the world. Skyscraper is the typical escapist summer blockbuster film of the year, and one that, for maybe two hours out of your summer, will be a satisfying retreat into the air-conditioned theatre away from the heat that is outside, even if more than half the action in the film is borderline ridiculous.

Skyscraper is just another entry into the very expansive filmography of Dwayne Johnson, further reinforcing just how wonderfully suave and likeable he really is.… Expand

Well at least it knows.

‘Skyscraper’ is a disposable action flick starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Just looking at the advertisements you can already tell it’s gonna be those type of movies where you have to accept it to enjoy it. If you watched the trailer where Dwayne jumps off a crane into another building to rescue his family who are trapped inside, before cutting to the release date. It’s absurd, although looks fun. Might follow the same path of ‘Fast & the Furious’ type of ridiculous, yet fun. However, what really took me by surprise is how the movie doesn't quite embrace it’s stupidity, and instead goes for a more serious tone. So during those ridiculous moments, when I meant to switch off my brain and enjoy, but I couldn't buy into it. Basically it’s ‘Dike Hard’ and ‘Tower Inferno’, drowned out in CGI.

I know those comparisons have already been made by many people and the marketing campaign seemed to catch on by releasing spoof-like posters of those two films. What some have failed to bring up it’s not just those two movies it’s ripping off, as there’s plenty more. Literally every action movie ever, just done better before.

Die Hard? more like ‘Try Hard’.

Dwayne Johnson can make anything watchable. The dude is instantly likable in everything he’s in; both on screen and off. In this movie it’s no different. Although It’s not one of his best and we have seen better from him. Dwayne character is basic family man saving his wife and kids. The charisma was lacking and you expect more from The Rock in terms of picking roles. There’s no witty banter between other characters to flesh him out or anything. Overexposed maybe?

Neve Campbell delivered a decent performance and it’s great seeing her back. Unfortunately, just like Dwayne Johnson, she has no character besides being a plot device along with the children.

So let's talk about the villains, and yes I say “villainS” because there’s are so many the film keeps shifting focus. The bad guys are generic and not threatening at all. It’s even more funny when you realize there was no thought about their plan for it to work- allowing only on luck and convenience. They morons.

The biggest strength I thought the film succeed on was playing on your fear with heights. My hands started to sweat and your heart begins to beat faster. You’re afraid to look down. I thought those scenes was well done, especially the close calls moments.

Also the opening scene was pretty good. The way it opened was tragic and really sad, but that doesn't last very long.

Overall rating: Better get more duct tape.… Expand

Skyscraper

1 And A Half Out Of 5

Johnson's character in the beginning of the feature, says "I'll just high-five the guy" after attempting to wish in a foreign language, which unfortunately seems to be the motto of the makers - if impossible to justify it, just sleep over it or more accurately leap over it.

Skyscraper is a plot driven commercial feature about a guy pushing his limits to save his family despite of being restrained and barred by the nature. It is short on technical aspects like visual effects, (which is a downer considering that it depends a lot upon it) sound department and better editing. It is shot decently with some pleasing scenes here and there, that are implemented to attract the viewers which too wears off sooner than expected. The writing is cheesy, corny and amateur with forced humor installed to balance the commercial aspect of it which isn't palpable to Johnson's character whose effort to breed the sincerity and seriousness communicates unevenly. The characters are loud, unnecessarily expressive and aren't polished appropriately, leaving them a bit chalky around the edges to swallow. The action sequences are shot brilliantly with Johnson in command who hits hard and brutal with convincing hand-to-hand combat where his hard work is clearly visible on the screen. He is good on physical sequences although struggling; even though improving, on acting skills and also isn't supported to that extent by the supporting cast like Neve Campbell and Chin Han.

Rawson Marshall Thurber; the writer-director, seems to have taken the opportunity granted for neither his sloppy writing nor shallow execution convinces the audience to be invested in it. The Johnson's hard work and few choreographed action sequences are the only high points of the feature.

Skyscraper lacks a layered surface to scratch on, for the revealing hollowness in a material is neither impressive nor advantageous.… Expand

There's good tension in the action sequences and Dwayne is pretty convincing in his role and in portraying the terror and desperation of fighting to rescue your family from a burning uber-skyscraper.

Their characters were flat and had no personality. It's a film you enjoy and then forget.… Expand

Skyscraper follows Will Sawyer (Dwayne Johnson) as he is invited to the a new building, which happens to be the world's tallest, to do a security check that will allow for them to open up the residential portion of the building. We soon learnSkyscraper follows Will Sawyer (Dwayne Johnson) as he is invited to the a new building, which happens to be the world's tallest, to do a security check that will allow for them to open up the residential portion of the building. We soon learn that the person who got him the job set him up, and then he gets lured away from the building and roped into what is essentially a heist story. The building is set on fire, and his family and the bad guys are in the building, so he jumps off of a crane to get back into the building to beat up some bad guys and save his family. That's basically it. This is a 90s-era action flick released in 2018. Clearly the team behind this film knows that, too, as one of the posters they put out while marketing the film had a 90s theme to it. Unfortunately, this isn't the 90s anymore and really this isn't even a good 90s action flick. The action is mediocre and honestly this isn't the best character Dwayne Johnson has played in his recent onslaught of the box office. He's charming, but humor is one of his strengths and there isn't a lot of it in this film. It's mainly him doing unbelievable thing after unbelievable thing until he achieves his goal of getting to his family. The story also takes a few leaps towards the end that I just couldn't get behind, most notably something related to how the fire containment system works at the beginning of the movie compared to the end. There's also some odd pacing in this story that we're supposed to just ignore because it's an action movie, but some of it is just so unbelievable I couldn't help but laugh. Don't expect any great dialogue here, either, as the script is mediocre at best. But, is it entertaining? That is usually the saving grace of these kind of movies. And, well...yes, it's entertaining. This is a film that will allow some people to turn their brain off for nearly two hours, eat some popcorn, and enjoy the show. It's incredibly forgetful, though, and I don't think I'll ever watch this one again.… Expand

Make-up and Hair-styling: 7.893/10 Decent.

Sound Editing: - /10

Visual Effects: 8.321/10 The Pearl is as real as Barad-dur (though a bit more believable due to its context).

Story: 7.931/10 The story focuses on the idea of families and purposes from the ideas of a generally-traditionally known family to crime syndicates to justice units. More than anything else, the story is entertaining.

Acting: 7.931/10 The film does heavily rely on Dwayne Johnson's acting abilities but balances the other actors well in accordance to fulfill the story.

Personal: Skyscraper reminds me of San Andreas (which is the last film I've seen with Dwayne Johnson in it). Every film I've seen with Dwayne Johnson always makes me feel like that moment in San Andreas with him giving CPR. Plus, it's always fun watching flares of the Rock: am I the only one appreciating the Jumping Clothesline in Skyscraper?

Overall: 7.062/10

Skyscraper is an adequate action film in that it is entertaining enough but isn't something you need to put on the top of your must-see list.

The plot is very predictable. It's basically Die Hard-light with some other action movie cliches thrown in. The obvious dialogue doesn't do the film any favors. Neve Campbell and the Rock are both charming actors, but even they could do so much with what they were given. The Rock's old FBI buddy is an exceptionally sore spot as he is a trifecta of poor dialogue, characterization, and acting.

Still, the film remains watchable due to the action as there are some pretty nice fight and building disaster scenes. I really liked a closed-knit fight near the beginning where both characters do a lot of damage to each other. The Rock's character having a prosthetic leg was a fairly novel idea that was well utilized for the survival and action elements.

Also the film looks nice. The quasi-futuristic tower it takes place in is a semi-unique design that helped elevate everything.… Expand

This was the first film in ages that kept me close to the edge of my seat. A thrilling ride which I’d more than happily pay to see again. 8/10.

En: Exciting, action-packed movie with good special effects in a futuristic skyscraper! The visit to the cinema was really worth it!

Dwayne has charisma, but not enough for this dumb, bloated movie.

I really like Dwayne Johnson in movies. He has charisma and charm. Decent enough actor (for the genre). However, this movie has a story that is thin in spots it shouldn't be,Dwayne has charisma, but not enough for this dumb, bloated movie.

However, this movie has a story that is thin in spots it shouldn't be, and convoluted in other spots, merely to set up one preposterous stunt or CGI sequence.

I like a good action/disaster thriller, and I don't need every movie to be "Citizen Cain", but this one is not worth the time.

If you're feeling like you want to see an action movie like this one, do yourself a favor and watch the original version, which was titled "Diehard", starred Bruce Willis, and came out in 1988.… Expand
