CRITICS OF "The Towering Inferno"

Groucho Reviews

A Titanic tale of hubris...knot-in-the-stomach scary from the moment the fire gets out of control to the last-ditch heroics that come hours later. [Blu-ray]

July 28, 2009

Variety

The Towering Inferno is one of the greatest disaster pictures made, a personal and professional triumph for producer Irwin Allen.

September 22, 2008

TV Guide

The result is everything a disaster movie should be, a combination of soap opera and the spectacle of destruction.

Antagony & Ecstasy

Despite the best efforts of most of those involved, the film never takes off as more than just a remarkable collection of glossy violence.

EmanuelLevy.Com

Featuring an all-star cast (Paul Newman, Steve McQueen), the movie delivers the goods of a well-crafted disaster flick, but strangely, it was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar.

Ironically, there's now something almost comforting about the way the film sticks to formula, but the action is still authentically thrilling.

break out the popcorn, sit back, and enjoy a galaxy of stars picking up their fat paychecks and having a great time. They absolutely don't make 'em like this anymore

Chicago Sun-Times

The Towering Inferno is a brawny blockbuster of a movie, by far the best of the mid-1970s wave of disaster films.

October 23, 2004

Resource

Chicago Reader

Irwin Allen, the Busby Berkeley of natural disasters and other people's troubles, teams up with John Guillermin, a competent if undistinguished action director.

Time Out

A starry cast share out roles that are less like characters than places in a lifeboat.

You may not come out of the theater with any important ideas about American architecture or enterprise, but you will have had a vivid, completely safe nightmare.
