The puns

Officer Big Mac · Jul 10, 2018

Should have been 45 seconds at the most.

PreeminentDB · Jul 10, 2018

Get Amped? OOH. My shame is real, but I laughed.

DrewFu · Jul 10, 2018

That actually made me want to watch the movie.

Sephzilla · Jul 10, 2018

Okay, that's actually great

FRANKEINSTEIN · Jul 10, 2018

He'll do whatever it takes.

I'll do whatever it takes.

That cracked me up.

Eduardo Corrochio · Jul 10, 2018

"He'll do whatever it takes"
"What's the plan?"
"I'll do whatever it takes"

Geist · Jul 10, 2018

A little long but the puns were amazing.

ibyea · Jul 10, 2018

I saw it last night! It is quite bad.

smoothj · Jul 10, 2018

The trailer actually got me curious about this movie. Is it the Rock vs the Skyscraper? That's what is seems like lol.

crimsonheadGCN · Jul 10, 2018

This was a good trailer.

Son Lamar · Jul 10, 2018

I truly hope when the Blu ray drops that's one of the filters to watch the movie in so good..

shaneo632 · Jul 10, 2018

62% Tomatometer so far. Pretty good for pure schlock.

Sinatar · Jul 10, 2018

Soj · Jul 10, 2018

LOL that was great.

So bad it's good like Rampage or just bad bad?

EraldoCoil · Jul 10, 2018

Had 0 interest in this movie...until I saw that trailer. I will be watching it now. ^_^

ChrisR · Jul 10, 2018

Hoping this is more Towering Inferno than Die Hard, but if it's good I still might watch even if it's more action-y than I'd like.

SweetVermouth · Jul 10, 2018

God that effect is so cheap and obviously fake, doesn't work for me...

Is this a Die Hard reboot starring Johnson?

Deleted member 437 · Jul 10, 2018

That was cool.

Unfortunately the actual footage is TOO good.

Need to use a 360p source.

Edit: Nvm, it is pretty low. Dunno, it still looks too.........."modern" I guess?

Sounds like a bit from Pablo Francisco (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvv8SMTyAgk)

rsfour · Jul 10, 2018

Ok, that was a pretty good trailer.

chrisPjelly · Jul 10, 2018

Is Skyscraper basically just Die Hard?

wenis · Jul 10, 2018

I'm gunna see this in theaters for sure

Phire Phox · Jul 10, 2018

That was incredible.

phaeb · Jul 10, 2018

Skyscraper 2, "Handicap security guard goes to great lengths to save his family from a burning skyscraper, this time twice as high"
Skyscraper 3, "The ghost of the security guard goes to great lengths to war his family of an impending fire in their skyscraper"

Sinatar said:

Okay, now this seems more interesting. Is this a fucking porno or an actual movie? Because the second half of that trailer took a weird turn.

HStallion · Jul 10, 2018

I hope The Rock kills a guy with his fake leg.

If he doesn't people need to ask for their money back.

He needs to drop a great one liner when he does it like,"Looks like he put my foot in his mouth" *single raised eyebrow*

passepied joe · Jul 10, 2018

Not as good as their Pacific Rim Uprising one, which is the only good thing to come from that popcorn flick

Relix · Jul 10, 2018

So, this was a dumb fun movie. Suspend all logic and you may enjoy it a bit. I think it's after the second half they stop taking themselves too seriously and start having fun with the premise. In a way it's pretty close to Die Hard and it goes back to a time long lost to Hollywood movies.

Still, it's bad. Not even the rock and his infinite charisma can save it. The plot is a mess, the effects are bad, and the action is not impressive at all.

cj_iwakura · Jul 10, 2018

That was good.

Like good bad or unwatchable bad? I was hoping it would at least be a good action film. Sucks because I would totally watch the movie in that trailer.

Deleted member 42 · Jul 10, 2018

This movie's going STRAIGHT TO THE TOP

Maximus · Jul 10, 2018

Oh wow, I think I've seen this movie. So bad haha.

Goddamn this is enjoyable.

That was great, even if a little long.
