Critic Reviews

Premiere Sara Brady

Stick it out through the first ten incoherent minutes or so, and Stealth is an invigorating reward, especially the tense final half-hour. Read full review

Michael Sragow

If you like hard bodies and hot engines, if you want to feel like you're inside a cockpit or a video game with someone else working the joystick, you'll find decent escape from the summer doldrums in Stealth. Read full review

Empire Simon Braund

On one level, Stealth is technically breathtaking, viscerally thrilling action cinema of the highest order. On another, it is slavering, state-of-the-art war porn. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Plays like a slapdash assemblage of the greatest hits of conspiracy-minded action cinema. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Stealth is an offense against taste, intelligence and the noise pollution code -- a dumbed-down "Top Gun" crossed with the HAL 9000 plot from "2001." Read full review

Manohla Dargis

What's interesting about Stealth isn't its nitwit story... No, what's interesting about this movie - and many others of its kind - is that it continues the love affair Hollywood, that hotbed of liberalism, has long had with militarism. Read full review

Stephen Hunter

It's not new. It's not interesting. I wish it would go away. Read full review

This film gets 10/10 if simply for Jessica Biel. Where do women as beautiful as this hide? I never see them come into the McDonalds I work at. Anyway, back on topic, the film is an average action film but she completes the movie.

Is this movie Perfect? No. Is it horrible? NO! This movie was fun. Jamie Foxx a bit of a show off. The man staeling the Show is none other then Josh Lucas. This guy is going places folks. And The AI sounding like Hal from 2001, though some people hated the cliche. I enjoyed it. Give it a Is this movie Perfect? No. Is it horrible? NO! This movie was fun. Jamie Foxx a bit of a show off.

This movie was mindless fun, especially as a rental. The effects were mind-blowing. The war propaganda was revealling. And Jessica Biel is the sexiest woman alive and I would gladly be the tarmac to her landing gear.

The thing that I hated most about stealth, not to say that I hated the movie, it really was decent, but the worst thing about it was it looked like a fantastic epic full great plot twists with some of the best special effects ever, basically it had so much promise, and it wasted it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can best describe Stealth as ‘A lot of interesting plot ideas started and none of them ever finished or even fleshed out’. This is further exacerbated by flat acting with no charisma between actors, a forgettable soundtrack, inconsistent special effects, and the film being shot so poorly, specifically the never ending shaky cam effect. It’s not completely unwatchable and there’s clearly a workable as well as interesting concept underneath it all, it’s just unfortunate the final product feels more like a first draft script than a completed one. Ultimately, it’s factually a bad movie that I can’t deny I derive some enjoyment from.… Expand

Well... I wasn't expecting a great movie, so I wasn't disappointed, I left feeling vaugely satisfied.

I wasn't expecting a great movie, so I wasn't disappointed, I left feeling vaugely satisfied. A good variety of locations and settings, good explosions, some nice action concepts and I really liked the look of the Talon aircraft. I'm a big fan of Jet aircraft and carriers, so I really *wanted* to like this movie, but it just didn't fly. There were a load of problems with Stealth, I had a problem with the blimp-shaped floating refueling station - in the real world that thing would be a tactical nightmare to defend and one of the screens in the command centre seemed to imply that there were loads of these expensive, highly explosive, easy-to-shoot sitting ducks dotted around the globe. Can you see a government approving a station like that? I was able to stomach the cliches for the most part, the problem that ruined "stealth" most in my view was the "overdone" feel of the cgi during the battle scenes - The 'camera' panning and pitching wildly, the overuse of tight close ups on the jets as they streak by. It was too 'furious' from the start of each battle - This kind of visual feel needed to be at the climax of each battle scene, not in every in every single shot! The makers of this flick need to watch Top Gun again, drop as many cliches as possible and make a different movie.… Expand

This movie reminds me of why you should check the ratings before you watch some random movie. It's not just unworthy of paying money to see it, it's not even worth the time to watch it. I literally would have preferred to do chores than watch this, and I'm lazy. This was so stupid, soThis movie reminds me of why you should check the ratings before you watch some random movie. It's not just unworthy of paying money to see it, it's not even worth the time to watch it. I literally would have preferred to do chores than watch this, and I'm lazy. This was so stupid, so clichÃ©, it's just worthless. The action wasn't even thrilling, and everything else about it was clichÃ© or stupid. Stealth is a movie you shouldn't even bother watching.… Expand
