United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"'Skyscraper' is one of the most idiotic action movies to come down the pike in some time. It's also a lot of fun if you're willing to go with it"	NEU
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"[It] is totally stupid and eager to please (...) Even The Rock can't rescue this discardable summer blockbuster."	NEG
United States	William Bibbiani IGN	"As an action movie, 'Skyscraper' is deliciously ludicrous (...) It’s a simple-minded but wildly entertaining blockbuster"	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"A satisfying summer thriller (...) An action epic where familiarity doesn’t drown out the fun"	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"No one churns out big-budget action mediocrity these days as regularly as Dwayne Johnson"	NEG

United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"The Rock towers over an inferno of cliches (...) A silly yet watchable action movie (...) This is stupid but it’s also mostly entertaining (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Anyone expecting a shred of originality from this Dwayne Johnson vehicle will be disappointed (...) Johnson provides 'Skyscraper' with a likeable rooting interest"	NEU
Canada	Molly Freeman Screen Rant	"A serviceable action vehicle for a charming Dwayne Johnson, but even he can't save it from repetitive set pieces and a stale story (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
