The stars are asked to chew on the driest of technobabble, and to strike poses of flyboy and flygirl moxie that make them look callow rather than heroic.

Has the makings of a kitsch classic.

Stephen Hunter Washington Post (Top Critic)

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

Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post (Top Critic)

The dialogue is often drowned out by engine noise.

Stealth is a pretty fair military-hardware action movie until you start thinking about it -- at which point it turns incredibly sour in your mouth.

Ed Halter Village Voice (Top Critic)

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

Stealth is flimsy and forgettable, but it does have a few worthy action and special-effects sequences.

Beyond mind-numbing explosions, Stealth's effects are good, especially the whooshing flight scenes. But as Eddie shows, humanity matters, and computer wizardry won't fill an empty plot.

It ain't brain surgery, but Stealth is one of the smartest stupid movies of the summer.

Hollywood hokum? Absolutely. Pop-culture propaganda? Perhaps. Yet Stealth goes beyond feeding our popcorn proclivities.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times (Top Critic)

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

Stealth's strengths are obvious -- high-tech marvels and a good cast -- so are its flaws. At its worst moments, a mad robot seems to have taken over the movie, too.

If Stealth were a recruitment film for aircraft-carrier duty, one would be tempted to say, 'Mission accomplished.' As a feature film, it's a washout.

While Stealth repeatedly hits air pockets of plot nonsense, Cohen provides [fun] in abundance.

[Stealth] is the filmic embodiment of all that is indulgent, gratuitous and downright dumb in pop culture.

Bill Muller Arizona Republic (Top Critic)

The movie is absolutely consistent -- it's just as wildly improbable at the end as in the beginning.

Robert Koehler Variety (Top Critic)

Aiming to join the Jerry BruckheimerJerry Bruckheimer/Michael BayMichael Bay school of American movie war games, Stealth is just too dumb to make the grade.

Stealth is so over-painted with CGI that it doesn't look as real as the sequence starring Shepard that inspired it in The Right Stuff, a movie made with model airplanes.

Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

Stealth flirts with competence when it reprises Behind Enemy Lines, and staggers into hilarious ineptitude when it borrows from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Geoff Pevere Toronto Star (Top Critic)

Stealth manages to be so ridiculously unconvincing you think you're watching a live-action version of last year's sublime action-movie puppet satire Team America.

Cohen is no stranger to cornball excess but Stealth is his chef-d'oeuvre, a movie so audaciously preposterous and jingoistic it plays like a parody of the genre.

James Berardinelli ReelViews (Top Critic)

Overlong, disjointed, and rarely compelling, Stealth has the capacity to put viewers into a catatonic state.

Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

The movie does deliver the video game goods but strands its characters in a no-man's-land of crude characterizations and silly dialogue.

Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

A slick piece of summer entertainment that is counting on elaborate special effects to make its derivative, convoluted story line all but irrelevant.
