The inciting incident is that the boy, and I quote, “ate a weird candy.” This movie would not exist save for the fact that the boy, and I quote a character from
the film, “ate a weird candy.” 

The reason that the wife, daughter and son got trapped in the building and Dwayne Johnson had to jump through windows and wind turbines to save them is that the boy, and this is a quote from the movie, “ate a weird candy.”

the kind of movie that has the gall to show the Rock wielding a sword in the midst of a shootout on the rooftop of "the tallest building on Earth," but then take said sword away from him before he's able to slice & dice a couple bad guys. what the Rock really needs to do is star in a film called Skyscraper Sword Battles, in which every building in the world is a skyscraper and he must leap from skyscraper to skyscraper with his trusted blade, slicing & dicing bad guys. until he reaches the final skyscraper, where he has to slay an asshole dragon who kidnapped his family just because it was bored and wanted to see some Skyscraper Sword Battles.

Exactly as stupid as you'd expect but not nearly as elaborately absurd as you'd hope. Hits all the beats in the most perfunctory way possible. Adequate.

say whatever you want but if there's someone who knows how to make dumb action films right is dwayne johnson!

“This isn’t going to end the way you want it to”

To describe Skyscraper as simple as possible would be to say it’s Die Hard without the positives. It is, unfortunately, a coma-inducing CGI fest with so little charisma and flair that’s oppressed within a deliberating sense of false grandeur and lacklustre destructive extravaganza that neither entices nor impresses.

Plot is a bit stupid but still fun to watch

Honestly pretty bad

absurd

Die Hard 2018 but without any of the wit, style and pacing of the original.

Noah Taylor deserves better than this.

Outrageous

Me: I fancy watching something intellectually engaging. 

Also me:

Stanko Rating: D

Klişe ve kötü oyunculuk.
