I had the misfortune of watching ‘Stealth’ the movie on the train this morning - I think I was lucky the DVD was so scratched it stopped working.

This review sums it up:

“ There’s no denying it, Stealth is ridiculous. It’s a big, sloppy, fur ball of stupid, wild action sequences punctuated by lame military pomposity. Twenty years ago this film would have been huge. Today it’s hilarious. It’s a big, lumbering, idiotic brute of an action film; giddy with high-octane schmaltz and so full of unjustified hubris it’ll give you an incurable case of the giggles. Even the effects are good for a chuckle, with rollickingly dumb crash sequences and unnecessarily CGI’d warplanes packed into every frame of the film. A lot of people are going to hate it, but if you’re a little lonely for the good old days of manic computers, personality free pilots, and terrible soundtracks, then you won’t want to miss this one. Stealth is a movie so bad, it’s almost good. “
