hyped garbage

Best movie ever!

Absolutely the worst movie.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A helicopter charter soon turns deadly when the female pilot finds that she is on a building held by terrorists. It is up to her and her husband to save the hostages. Skyscraper is half soft core porn, half an action movie and an all made Die Hard rip-off and actually quite fun and better than i expected. There's lots of action and one liners, the acting isn't that impressive but you shouldn't really care and the best scenes out of the movie were definitely Anna Nicole Smith's twin towers that were pretty big overall and nice.. (8/10)

I have just watched this and I thought it was just brilliant...truly,one of the best, if not the best, action film I have ever seen.I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone with an appreciation for this type of film. And if that doesn't describe you, what are you doing here? The main plot points were typical of the action film with several unique elements.I thought it was well acted, and the main character is just adorable. The villains are great. 10/10

I was so disgusted at the end of this egregious train wreck of a film, I write this review to accomplish two tasks: vent my frustration at the time & money I wasted; warn those of you who haven't seen it yet before you plunge into the pool with no water. I write this assuming you have seen "Die Hard".First, apart from the gratuitous scenes of sex and nudity, the crew here attempted to duplicate every scene from "Die Hard". The way they were done was either absurd, ridiculous, or just stupid.Second…the acting! Much has been said about Smith's atrocious acting (if you could call it acting at all). However, all of the actors were lousy. Phony European accents. Male models trying to masquerade as terrorists. The alleged 'criminal mastermind' quoting Shakespeare, in a pathetic attempt to appear sophisticated. Poor delivery of lines. Plain unlikable characters in general. etc.Third, the way this "takeover" was carried out seemed implausible. If you bother to watch this mess, consider how 'believable' it was in "Die Hard", and how 'unbelievable' it is in this junk. Shootouts Fourth, clichés…so many clichés. If you bother to watch them, they will become extremely obvious. Especially the concept of the 'double cross'.Fifth…continuity. I guess with a movie with no budget, things like continuity will go by the waste side.Finally… the gratuitous sex and nudity. With a low-budget, direct-to-video piece of swine like this with Anna Nicole, this element had to exist, even though the scenes did not improve the so-called story. This had to be done obviously to captivate the men. It didn't work for me.The cast and crew behind the original "Die Hard" should be appalled at this. I found this movie an utter insult to the cast and crew that made the original DH so great. This movie should have never been made. It should be burnt.

If you turn the number sideways, you'll see why I gave this movie an 8. Check the gratuitous shower scene about 10 minutes into the movie if you don't get me.Friends, this movie is HOWLINGLY BAD. You'll laugh until tears flow from your eyes, not believing the sights and sounds assaulting your being from the screen. From Anna's non-existent acting, to the bad scenery-chewing performance of the actor playing the lead terrorist (just what country is he supposed to be from, Badaccentia?), this is prime Badfilm. There are a ton of explosions on offer, which are nicely photographed, but are so (I'll risk using the word again) gratuitous that the plot (most obvious Die Hard rip-off ever) can't be taken seriously for more than a nanosecond. Everything about this film screams: "Don't take me seriously!" On that level, the discriminating fan of bad action films will enjoy this heartily. Anyone familiar with the work of Andy Sidaris will be in familiar territory here.I feel that this movie is best enjoyed under the influence of several adult beverages. I would suggest a double feature for a night of viewing, this film and David Heavener's KILL CRAZY(see my review of that film as well). Now that's some red-blooded American entertainment. Lots of stuff gets blowed up real good! Get the pony keg and the nachos, dude!
