Big, dumb fun - this is exactly the kind of action movie you just have to switch off that portion of your mind that deals with things like "reality" and "believable" and "plot". This is pure, unadulterated stupidity - and I think it knows it - so just sit back, relax and don't take things too seriously. Makes a perfect double-bill with Rampage!

Impossible. This is one of the most unrealistic action films I have ever seen. There were so much action happening without really explaining why is it happening and how the hell it is happening. A duct tape? seriously?? All the stunts showed in this movie were entertainingly unbelievable. I appreciate how it tried to weave things out in the end but 90% of the action made me wonder how could this probably happen in real life situation. I often enjoy action movies because it gives me idea how to survive from unfortunate situations, in this case, NO WAY CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE.

While The Rock’s family was trapped 220 stories in a burning skyscraper, I was trapped in a dark movie theater in Queens, seated next to @WWEMemes’ very own Matt Conklin, enduring the overly self-seriousness of this stupid action film. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson generally has incredible charisma, but he’s awfully boring here, as is the film that surrounds him. Filmmaker Rawson Marshall Thurber didn’t fully embrace the ridiculousness of Skyscraper’s concept, thus failing to deliver something wholly fun and entertaining in a “just go with it” type of way. It’s just a disposable flick with a few standout moments.
