Die Hard movies are pretty influential for the action genre, that it spawned numerous movies inspired by it. I loved all four Die Hard movies (nope, never gonna admit the fifth one exists), and I enjoyed Die Hard inspired movies like Olympus Has Fallen, White House Down, etc. So when I found out that Skyscraper is literally 2018's Die Hard, I quickly became interested with the movie. And in some ways it does satisfy my desire of a new Die Hard movie. But if only they add more action, more humor and have a more compelling villain, it would be a much better movie.
Pros:
Cons:
Overall, you'll have a good time with this movie. While it does satisfy the crave for a new Die Hard movie, if the movie dared to go all in R rated, with longer runtime and more blood and cuss, I think It'll help the movie more. Grab your popcorns and soda drinks, sit tight, relax, and have fun with the movie.
Pros:
- Cast
- Action
- Music
- Tension
Cons:
- Surface level writing
- Too short
- Should be R rated
