Critics Consensus

Loud, preposterous, and predictable, Stealth borrows heavily and unsucessfully from Top Gun and 2001.

Full of explosive mayhem and pulse-quickening aerial combat, this high-flying action romp offers polished, if derivative entertainment.

If we're going to be fighting the war on terror in perpetuity, could we at least get better movies out of it?

...a crude Jerry Bruckheimer knock-off with a laughably insipid script...

Neither entertaining nor exciting, the dumb and noisy Stealth will hopefully live up to its name by fading quietly from movie theaters.

The sound, editing, cinematography and special effects is something we should celebrate for. Before Maverick Top Gun came out, I really like this film as it stands out for fighter planes doing what they should be seen on film

A proper trainwreck of a movie that has nothing going for it except Biel's good looks. Foxx performance is flatlining as usual.

This is quite simply the worst movie ever made that cannot use poverty or inexperience as an excuse. It had a huge budget, top-notch actors, and killer CGI (for the era) but still is just consistently dumb and overly emotional without really connecting us to that emotion because it comes from cardboard cutout characters. Everyone is a stereotype! No one has inner thoughts, feelings, or aspirations! Every action must be announced before it happens, then either nothing happens or everything explodes. This movie hurts my head and I want to run away.

My lust for Jessica overcame any objectivity regarding this film. Achingly beautiful and wasted on her husband. Five stars for Jessica.
