The fact that movies like this make loads of money actually makes me a bit upset. This movie is just awful aside from the huge budget and well, go ahead and watch. It will make several hundred million dollars which will only insure the fact that they will continue to make this sort of garbage.

I don't think i really need to get into the storyline to let anyone know what is happening here. There is a skyscraper, there is fire, and the Rock is involved. I am sure you can put the rest of the pieces into place. Insert a few bad guys with Eastern European accents and 100 million dollars worth of CGI and well, you have the whole story!

this isn't even a scene from the film, but it may as well be

I don't even want to include other screen captures of this film because honestly it isn't necessary. Dwayne Johnson is going to win in whatever movie he is in and this is not an exception. He has some kids with "Sarah," played by Neve Campbell (welcome back Neve!) and they live in a skyscraper when something bad happens and they have to sort it out.

Honestly, fill in any plot whatevers you want in the middle. It was pre-determined by the fact that the Rock was in the movie and it was called "Skyscraper" what was going to happen in this movie from the moment that any of the however many people it takes to make $300 million. I guess he just has that sort of star power. I would imagine that he gets paid $20 million a movie at this point and for that I say, well done Rock! I'm not going to come down on you for being popular and a tremendous selling point.

However, in the meantime I think I should be entitled to say that this movie is garbage and so are a vast majority of the other movies that Dwayne Johnson is involved in. I watch them only to find fault in them but I guess I am in the minority. Hollywood has found a system that makes them a ton of money and having films with any sort of substance doesn't even factor into their script equation.

This movie proves that Hollywood can take the Rock and put him into any f**king scenario and the film is going to make tons of money, thus insuring that we will only ever get this from him. I mean if I was a business owner and I knew of method of making tons of money where the product was crap, or to make tiny bits of money that took a real thought process, i would go with the former also.

I expect we will see lots of extremely predictable movies with no real substance in the next, I dunno, 10 years or so. Then it will all go away, Dwayne will be a bazillionaire and be replaced by someone else at some point where the entire process will be repeated.

If you are the type of person that wants to watch a movie with the story substance of Transformers and the acting and special effects budget of also Transformers - but without the Transformers, then this movie will be for you.
