There is also a strong message of family that I responded to. Again, at times cheesy, but still a welcomed ingredient.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 25, 2022

The paint-by-numbers script panders, delivering only predictable, ingratiating twists and turns, characters without personalities, and a big-budget experience that's content with being on autopilot.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 11, 2022

Well-made, mindless summer entertainment.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 10, 2021

For all its cheesiness, Skyscraper still manages to not be a disaster.

| Original Score: 2. 5 / 5 | Jun 24, 2021

All this works because Thurber and The Rock provide 100% commitment, as do the rest of the cast.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 29, 2021

This is Die Hard in a building, which is exactly what regular Die Hard was in the first place. But this is, like, a really, really big building.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 4, 2021

As a go-for-broke, full-budget-on-the-screen action movie with a lead you can root for guilt-free, Skyscraper rises above.

| Dec 8, 2020

Amidst the slipping and dangling and shooting, the escalating hazards and accomplishments graduate to comical proportions.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 7, 2020

The Pearl is a pretty impressive set piece. The production designers went all out with how they designed the inside of the skyscraper with lavish greenery and some cool tricks and optical illusions.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 4, 2020

Likely has enough going for it to please a good majority of Johnson's loyal fans.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 23, 2020

It is a success in delivering a well-made escape that locks you in your seat and gives you a slap on the back as it says 'enjoy the ride.'

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 30, 2020

Sorry, folks, this skyscraper crumbles. And yet, after all the smoke has cleared, after all the dust has settled, the "millions ... and millions" of Rock's fans will still be chanting his name.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 29, 2020

The film lacks requisite self-aware humor or outward stupidity, and . . . Thurber straddles the unfortunate line of taking his work just too seriously.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 25, 2020

The vertigo-inducing thriller delivers a forgettable popcorn feast. There is a sense of déjà vu here and not even Johnson's charisma can spark a flame of excitement into this CGI blaze.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 22, 2020

Skyscraper wins points for truth in advertising.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 18, 2020

Skyscraper is a by-the-book summer popcorn actioner that hits all the right notes to be a fun crowd pleaser...Yes, it uses a lot of your action film clichés, but, let's face it, so do the majority of entries in the genre.

| Jul 14, 2020

A generic, mundane action picture.

| Original Score: C | Jul 9, 2020

Honestly, if watching The Rock hang off of a flaming building over the Hong Kong skyline sounds like a movie that interests you, you'll probably enjoy "Skyscraper." And for good and ill, it delivers what it promises.

| Original Score: C | Jun 30, 2020

he bulk of Skyscraper is about the impressive special effects, impossible stunts, and better-than-average (especially for an action film) use of all of the major players in terms of avoiding making them all one-note creations.

Perfectly decent.
