- 100San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSan Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThis is the kind of pure entertainment that, in its fullness and generosity, feels almost classic.
- 100Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonChicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonMay show both director and star working at their professional peaks, but I don't think it's as good as that underappreciated masterwork "A.I." It's not as resonant and daring, not as full of magic and marvel. Spielberg stretches himself technically here but not emotionally.
- 90TimeRichard CorlissTimeRichard CorlissSpielberg's sharpest, brawniest, most bustling entertainment since "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the finest of the season's action epics.
- 90NewsweekDavid AnsenNewsweekDavid AnsenFerociously intense, furiously kinetic, it’s expressionist film noir science fiction that, like all good sci-fi, peers into the future to shed light on the present.
- 90The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasFew directors are capable of marrying ideas and entertainment—one is often sacrificed for the other—but Spielberg peppers one gripping action setpiece after another with trenchant details about a near-future robbed of the most basic freedoms and privacy.
- 80Washington PostDesson ThomsonWashington PostDesson ThomsonSpielberg takes assured control. In his hands, Minority Report is a classy, chilly quasi-Hitchcockian affair.
- 75Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaPhiladelphia InquirerSteven ReaTaut entertainment that juggles brainy ideas about perception, predetermination and free will - and drops things in a messy third act where the vintage noir gets bathed in a bit too much Spielbergian glow.
- 75Boston GlobeJay CarrBoston GlobeJay CarrCruise will never be a master thespian, but there's no one better at putting across the charisma of control, and the opening sequence of ''Report'' is an astonishingly fluid demonstration of his gifts.
- 63The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenMore humdrum than horrible. It isn't futuristic film noir; it's just everyday film beige.
- 60Village VoiceJ. HobermanVillage VoiceJ. HobermanMiscast, misguided, and often nonsensical, Minority Report is nevertheless the most entertaining, least pretentious genre movie Steven Spielberg has made in the decade since "Jurassic Park."
