Guys did you know that The Rock amputeed his own leg and replaced it with an actual prosthetic for this movie? What a commited actor. Good to see amputees getting proper representation at last.
Not as good as Hayden Christensen in Revenge of the Sith. He burned himself and lost his lower section trying to fight Ewan McGregor in a lava planet. #Dedication
Remember Tom Hank's performance from Forrest Gump? He purposefully lowered his IQ by watching the Minions movie on repeat in order to become Forrest Gump. Now THAT is dedication.
Exactly! The only reason anyone with common sense actually went to see this movie was purely because it had Dwayne in it. Dwayne is main character = movie is automatically good, no argument. Anything else is just icing on the cake; this critic is lucky there even was a plot!
I got the greatest idea of all: "Dwayne Johnson and Sonic the Hedgehog team up in New York in the Sonic the Hedgehog movie by Sony Pictures" It's gonna be so shitty it'll be a masterpiece to behold.
This is how the rock picks his movies: Agent: Hey Mr Dwayne I got a role for you it's-- The Rock: Great! Sign me up Agent: But I think you should read the script first-- The Rock: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK
Soviet who Cuts Not really, the guy has all the money in the world and star power and still chooses to be in shitty films. It's not like he's a struggling actor who has a part time job at Mcdonalds. I'm a fan of his but he should at least be selective about his roles.
@@psychicpebbles98 Why would he care at all about the quality of his movies? He isn't an actor, he's a wrestling star. It's a job for him, not a passion.
@@blacklotus561 A guy like that doesn't even need a job. He can sit at home and still make millions. No one's forcing him to make movies it IS his passion.

Surely there was a good pun they could’ve used. And by good pun I mean bad pun or in other words just any pun. Skyscrapers, mirrors, heights, fire, spatial confusion . . . So much material. Some suggestions: “The occupant of this unit is a little BEHIND on his rent. [::reveal::] AND I’M THE NEW LANDLORD.” ::cue action:: “One of these days, old friend, we’ll LOOK BACK on this [::reveal::] and LAUGH!” ::Kill him:: “You could’ve learned from all this. I guess you just didn’t have time for some . . . SELF REFLECTION!”
The "bad guy falling down hole and exploding" part reminded me of the one Spongebob scene where Squidward falls off a cliff hilariously and explodes for no reason. Gave me a good giggle.
Yeah, it looked pretty good to me. The Rock is always a lot of fun and I wanted to see what interesting ways he'd use his fake leg to beat the bad guys and escape the yowee. So yeah, surprised and disappointed.
MankeyGamez Guys. I think ive figured it out. The Rock is modern day Arnold Swarzenegger. He keeps starring in movied that are utterly riduculous but people still go see.
It's amazing how every single Die Hard clone (including the Die Hard sequels) completely misunderstand what made the original Die Hard work. As noted, it's the fact there was nothing special about John McClane. He was just some guy trying to get help to come. Even with Die Hard 2, they started turning him into an unkilllable superhero. And that the whole plot of Die Hard worked with how simple it was: it just guys who wanted money. Each sequel (and most clones) make the plot more and more convoluted and complicated. Die Hard works because it's such a simple premise.
And he wasn't even TRYING to be a hero, he said himself that he "wished" he were in Philadelphia. So what makes Die Hard work is that he doesn't want to be there he just HAPPEN to be in the middle of something. Now they are Jason Voorhees/Freddy Kruger immortal
Die Hard: Takes place in a skyscraper Die Hard 2: Takes place in an airport Die Hard 3: Takes place in New York city Die Hard 4: Takes place in the west coast of the USA Die Hard 5: Takes place in the biggest country in the world Die Hard 6: Takes place on Jupiter?
Sean Got Gjally Guys. I think ive figured it out. The Rock is modern day Arnold Swarzenegger. He keeps starring in movies that are utterly ridiculous but people still go see.
You can clearly see in the shot where he jumps that he isn't going to make it, then it cuts to another shot where he's somehow warped much closer to the building. Even in the trailer it's painfully obvious.
Even if he somehow made it, which even an Olympic long jumper would have fallen short, the way he landed he would have smashed his entire ribcage and caused fatal internal bleeding, but the movies like "nah he's fine, he works out a lot"
This sounds almost exactly like the plot to the FIB Heist in GTA V. Criminals plant incendiary charges in central floor of skyscraper, then rush in by using firemans clothes to steal a hard drive from the top floor
Adum, you’re not analyzing this movie on a symbolic level. This movie is clearly a metaphor for the perpetual struggle against the insurmountable and tyrannical oppression of the patriarchy, hence the utilization of a phallus (the skyscraper) as the major obstacle to be overcome. I’m beginning to doubt your credibility as a film critic. Consider a new line of work /s
Its funny bc its true. He doesn't really look at the metaphorical sides of films except for a select few. Even when the film has clear themes and parallels with our lives he ignores them. I mean in his mad max review he says that if all the character's genders changed it wouldnt effect his opinion, but doing that would completely undermine the entire point of the story. One of the main threads going through the movie is that the villain sees women as objects which can produce children for him, but that they are more than that. To disregard such strong themes is a huge oversite imo and part of why i value his opinion less than i used to.
At the end of the movie I clapped my legs together and my friend asked, "why are you doing that?" I simply replied, "would've given him a hand but he already has two."
Yeah that's why I never watch movies with Dwayne Johnson in them. I mean I don't dislike him but whenever he stars in a movie, its always just a really cliche, copy and paste, action movie with no soul at all. Forgettable is exactly the word that I'd use to describe those movies
James Downs I can't wait until the Chinese market finally dries up because they finally realize Hollywood is garbage or just get bored of their packaged content.
IntergalactiCosmo but that’s the thing tho, he’s NOT playing the same character again. This time he’s only got ONE leg, which makes his character completely new and unique.
That jump and poster picture really make me nerd rage. Did everyone on the team that made this movie fail physics? We are supposed to believe that this dude ran over 23 miles per hour to cross a thirteen and a half meter gap in a second and a half? For fucks sake all they had to do to make this more believable was make the crane taller.
Or make the crane crash in to the building and create more action scenes. At least that would feel more believable, yet still impossible, if you get what I mean.
Adam, I don't think you're giving this movie enough credit. Rock-kin have been waiting for decades for representation in the cinema and quite frankly I think it's insulting that you're giving this movie a 3 when you gave Black Panther a 5. I'm starting to think that you just hate Rocks and that's the only reason you hated this film.
I like the Rock, but I don't like this movie. Just because an actor I like is in a film doesn't mean it's automatically gonna be good. This film is dumb, it's full of god awful CGI and a lot of plot points in the film don't make any sense. I could go more in depth if you want me to but I don't want to make this comment so long you want read it. Listen man don't be a fan boy. Don't hate on people that don't like this movie simply because an actor you like is in it. Grow up.
Imagine the stunts it would do! *puts rock on beam to 'hold' it for others to walk over *throws rock from a crane into a building. Swearing office worker. *throws rock at control panel. It broke *throws rock at bad guys. Instakill *put rock's pebble in hostage situation. Teleport-throw rock at bad guy, which explodes *take rock's prosthetic leg and throw it alongside the rock *throw rock through flames *throw rock at happy ending
Only reason I saw it was because I was forced to. The most ridiculous part for me was the helicopter scene, and the only thing I could think of in the "mirror" scene was when I played laser tag when I was eleven. Dwayne Johnson being behind the villain during that scene also made me audibly sigh in the theater, along with that "turn it off and on again" line.
As long as our current economic system exists, it doesn't matter. Such movies will be produced anyways. Production forms the consumer, not the other way around
@@malis9045 No, that's stupid. If companies could decide what people like every movie would be a drama with no special effects for the maximum possible profit.
....huh, I'd thought that obviously impossible crane jump would've been the dumbest thing in the movie, is it really that hard to make an action movie that's not weirdly convoluted & makes no sense??
The Rock was a god in this, a literal god, he jumped across a huge gap, then supports himself with one hand, to crawl up into the building. He used his brute strength to hold up a steel bridge, a two by four, and two people. He also climbed a building using only duct tape and his strength. He took an explosion a few feet away from him with only losing a leg, not a single scratch or burn mark on his body. The rock also climbed up a steel grating with high winds blowing around him, with just strength.
Also, after she reboots the fire suppression system, not only does the system still work despite the entire top half of the building being completely engulfed in flames for about 3 or 4 hours and the indoor 'garden' looking like the fires of hell at one point, but it put out all of the fire in literally SECONDS!!! (except for a few small patches of fire left over here and there, just to remind us that the building *had* been on fire....)
A malfunctioning wind turbine often does spin faster if the brakes are what fails. Wind can be seriously strong, there are clips of turbines ripping themselves apart from spinning too fast.
Man, I have to say, you are the absolute king of the "tired of the terrible" voice. You make Al Franken sound like a giddy schoolgirl. Also, you're my new Red Letter Media. As I'm sure you're aware, that's a high compliment.
I feel like someone saw that scene in fast & furious where they drive in between skyscrapers and thought, "yeah okay let's do a movie based around that one shot"
My mom overheard this and, without looking up, said "that man sounds like that man off of Spongebob, Mr. Sqiuggley." I'm dying I can't unhear it now Squidward Reviews when?
It's worth noting that up until Die Hard, most of Bruce Willis' acting credits were in sitcoms and comedies, which further reinforced his role in the movie as a hapless everyman with the odds stacked hopelessly against him. Putting a former pro wrestler who's built like a truck in the same situation doesn't exactly gel as a believable character in the same way John McClane did.
This movie seems like a fake movie they play in the background of other movies
This is the best description of a shitty movie I've ever seen.
Like a fake trailer before Tropic Thunder
It's a McBain movie plot.
Arg, you beat me to it Harry. It's only missing the "he was going to retire next week" line.

An action movie is only as good as its one-liners, and "I'm actually behind you" was probably the lamest one I've ever heard.
And why would he announce that he's behind him? Then the guy could just turn and shoot before he had the chance to strike.
I think you mean the best. Truly epic.
Surely there was a good pun they could’ve used. And by good pun I mean bad pun or in other words just any pun. Skyscrapers, mirrors, heights, fire, spatial confusion . . . So much material.

“The occupant of this unit is a little BEHIND on his rent. [::reveal::] AND I’M THE NEW LANDLORD.” ::cue action::
“One of these days, old friend, we’ll LOOK BACK on this [::reveal::] and LAUGH!” ::Kill him::
“You could’ve learned from all this. I guess you just didn’t have time for some . . . SELF REFLECTION!”

I agree wholeheartedly. Like you said, it was way better than Synecdoche, New York.

Can we just realize that the guy who did the cinematography for there will be blood shot this, no joke.
Well, at least from what I've seen, the cinematography seems to be one of the better things this movie has going for it
Poor Elswit...
Jesus Christ......
Captain Underpants what?
He also shot Gigli and Suburbicon, so he’s not necessarily an auteur when it comes to filmmaking.
The thing that annoys me the most is that the Jump between the Crane and the Building is way to far away and is unrealistic.
You can clearly see in the shot where he jumps that he isn't going to make it, then it cuts to another shot where he's somehow warped much closer to the building. Even in the trailer it's painfully obvious.
Dwayne Johnson confirmed as Spider-Man!
Even if he somehow made it, which even an Olympic long jumper would have fallen short, the way he landed he would have smashed his entire ribcage and caused fatal internal bleeding, but the movies like "nah he's fine, he works out a lot"

"Let's Worry About How Much Sense It Makes Later: The Movie"
Someone put Adum grunt sounds into a video game.
Adam, I don't think you're giving this movie enough credit. Rock-kin have been waiting for decades for representation in the cinema and quite frankly I think it's insulting that you're giving this movie a 3 when you gave Black Panther a 5. I'm starting to think that you just hate Rocks and that's the only reason you hated this film.
They are hard and have no substance on the inside
I like the Rock, but I don't like this movie. Just because an actor I like is in a film doesn't mean it's automatically gonna be good. This film is dumb, it's full of god awful CGI and a lot of plot points in the film don't make any sense. I could go more in depth if you want me to but I don't want to make this comment so long you want read it. Listen man don't be a fan boy. Don't hate on people that don't like this movie simply because an actor you like is in it. Grow up.
someguy ihate what?
Oh, I mean it’s not that obvious. There a lot of people out there that think like that.
ɪᴍᴀɢɪɴᴀʀʏꜰᴀɴʙoʏ But we all can agree this film sucks right?
Would the movie be better if The Rock was replaced with an actual rock?
obviously
Imagine the stunts it would do!
*puts rock on beam to 'hold' it for others to walk over
*throws rock from a crane into a building. Swearing office worker.
*throws rock at control panel. It broke
*throws rock at bad guys. Instakill
*put rock's pebble in hostage situation. Teleport-throw rock at bad guy, which explodes
*take rock's prosthetic leg and throw it alongside the rock
*throw rock through flames
*throw rock at happy ending
Only reason I saw it was because I was forced to. The most ridiculous part for me was the helicopter scene, and the only thing I could think of in the "mirror" scene was when I played laser tag when I was eleven. Dwayne Johnson being behind the villain during that scene also made me audibly sigh in the theater, along with that "turn it off and on again" line.
HashBrosTrollsG hold up
Why were you forced to see this dumb mess of a movie???
Had to go with my family to the cinema, but at least the food was worth it, so I didn't completely waste my time.
I was gonna go watch this, but I decided to stay home and poop instead.
wise choice
At least shit is leaving you and not entering you
A good shit can be its own reward.
"Lets worry about how much sense it makes lay-der" .....is now certainly one of my all time favorite YMS quotes now.
Dwane:"Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru"
Lucas Eduardo I approve.
Skyscraper- NANI?!?
Does he actually say that?
@Nikita: What do you think?
IGN gave this a 8.1/10
Who takes anything IGN says seriously, anyway?
Dude IGN probably gave the emoji movie a decent score tbh
Your God they gave the Emoji Movie a 4.5/10
Do your research before you say stuff like that
This movie is better than godhand
-ign
Your God sorry
Should’ve worded that a little better...
don't forget that this movie will make oodles of money thus continuing the mass production of trash.
danekarl
It underperformed...
there are worse things.
As long as our current economic system exists, it doesn't matter. Such movies will be produced anyways. Production forms the consumer, not the other way around
It's a business, they are aiming to make the most using the least. And they just happened to use movies to do that :(
@@malis9045 No, that's stupid. If companies could decide what people like every movie would be a drama with no special effects for the maximum possible profit.
Hall of mirrors, the best place to fight a vampire.
This has to be one of my favorite reviews of Adums. Flows really well and that joke about how it 'stars a rock' gets me everytime
I rolled my eyes so hard at 'I'm actually behind you' that I thought for a moment that it'd get stuck like that forever.
Are you going to see Unfriended 2: Dark Web?
I would pay money to see that review
Yms must review it!
I'll get the snacks ready.
Do you want him do die?
Not die, just suffer
Ah yes, Adam's most anticipated movie of the year.
I am glad you are uploading more frequently! It has been a welcomed treat each week.
....huh, I'd thought that obviously impossible crane jump would've been the dumbest thing in the movie, is it really that hard to make an action movie that's not weirdly convoluted & makes no sense??
YMS reviews are the best
Same
The Rock was a god in this, a literal god, he jumped across a huge gap, then supports himself with one hand, to crawl up into the building. He used his brute strength to hold up a steel bridge, a two by four, and two people. He also climbed a building using only duct tape and his strength. He took an explosion a few feet away from him with only losing a leg, not a single scratch or burn mark on his body. The rock also climbed up a steel grating with high winds blowing around him, with just strength.
*The Rock teleports behind you* nothin personal kid
Also, after she reboots the fire suppression system, not only does the system still work despite the entire top half of the building being completely engulfed in flames for about 3 or 4 hours and the indoor 'garden' looking like the fires of hell at one point, but it put out all of the fire in literally SECONDS!!! (except for a few small patches of fire left over here and there, just to remind us that the building *had* been on fire....)
I was waiting for this video as soon as I saw the trailer.
Hahahahhahaha “yep you guessed it, he has asthma” hahahahahha
"I got a rock."
~Charlie Brown
Dwane Johnson is an absolute unit
Suck my unit!
A malfunctioning wind turbine often does spin faster if the brakes are what fails. Wind can be seriously strong, there are clips of turbines ripping themselves apart from spinning too fast.
Man, I have to say, you are the absolute king of the "tired of the terrible" voice. You make Al Franken sound like a giddy schoolgirl. Also, you're my new Red Letter Media. As I'm sure you're aware, that's a high compliment.
A special brand of asthma that allows him to commandeer a Predator mothership.
*"I know you're hurtin' brother"*
Is my favourite line of the movie. The Rock just said it to an emotionally broken man who was about to attack him.
"It's Die Hard in a Building!" "Th-that was already done?" "B-But The Rock is in it!!!" "You know what! Fine."
About Dwayne
" I'm sure he's a nice guy but he's not meant for this type of character "
LMAO I COULDNT STOP LAUGHING AT THAT
I feel like someone saw that scene in fast & furious where they drive in between skyscrapers and thought, "yeah okay let's do a movie based around that one shot"
The Rock held my brother as a baby
Pretty irrelevant, he probably doesn't even remember it, but I guess it's related to the video because he's in it
Dwayne Johnson fucked me as a baby.
twinkletoes mcfuckass oh
Dwayne Johnson ate my son and now I'm on a drug fueled vision hunt for revenge
twinkletoes mcfuckass oof
The Rock destroyed my scissors
My friend when we saw the trailer for Skyscraper at the movies
“Why does Dwayne have to have the same birthday as me? He doesn’t deserve it.”
At least Neve Campbell still looks good
My mom overheard this and, without looking up, said "that man sounds like that man off of Spongebob, Mr. Sqiuggley."
I'm dying
I can't unhear it now
Squidward Reviews when?
So I hear you have a family?
Yes. I have a family and I love them very much.
What are their n-
IT DOESN'T MATTER what their names are!
3/10 is pretty high
Wonder what it takes to get a 1/2...
I heard someone I know say that it was the best movie they’ve seen in years......that persons no longer alive after saying that
I had a feeling you were gonna call it Pg-13 die hard, cause it is
The description of the rocks character in this movie is the same description for Chris Pratt in the tomorrow war lol.
*A G I A N T W R E S T L E M A N*
It's worth noting that up until Die Hard, most of Bruce Willis' acting credits were in sitcoms and comedies, which further reinforced his role in the movie as a hapless everyman with the odds stacked hopelessly against him. Putting a former pro wrestler who's built like a truck in the same situation doesn't exactly gel as a believable character in the same way John McClane did.
