| ReelTalk Movie Reviews |
| Betty Jo Tucker |
8/10 | "It's simply wonderful to see Spielberg in charge of a tightly wound popcorn movie again, though in his words Report is more 'gourmet popcorn.'" |

| Brian Orndorf |
4.5/5 | "Mr. Spielberg, you have restored my faith in sci-fi -- and more importantly, you have restored my faith in you." |

| Christopher Null |
| "Definitively ambitious, aggressively affected and strangely affecting..." |
| PopMatters |
| Cynthia Fuchs |
82/100 | "An energetic and exuberant 21st century sci-fi neo-noir that works best when it asks us to think least.
" |
| Apollo Guide |
| Dan Jardine |
81/100 | "There is much to praise here, as Spielberg’s onscreen technical wizardry represents, in many ways, the apex of this art form. He seamlessly blends CGI and live action in a series of action sequences that are among the best he has ever filmed." |
| Apollo Guide |
| Dan Jardine |
3.5/4 | "...a sea of fresh ideas and approaches, expertly crafted not just to keep the audience engaged, but to nourish their senses in the process." |
| Cinemaphile.org |
| David Keyes |
3/4 | "The first 2/3rds of the flick are astounding...but that last half hour or so is completely and utterly superfluous." |
| Reel Film Reviews |
| David Nusair |
A | "Mainstream films don't get any better than this one." |
| Ozus' World Movie Reviews |
| Dennis Schwartz |
6/10 | "Perhaps not the best possible marriage between entertainment and serious content, but it nevertheless represents step in good direction for Spielberg." |

| Dragan Antulov |
2/4 | "Cold, unmoving, and desperately in need of a beating heart and a soaring soul, Minority Report is one of the most depressing disappointments of the year." |
| TheMovieBoy.com |
| Dustin Putman |
3.5/4 | "Minority Report is seemingly structured as a very liberal attack on the orderly disorder of our own judicial system." |
| Slant Magazine |
| Ed Gonzalez |
A- | "As thought-provoking and visionary as it is flat-out entertaining." |
| EricDSnider.com |
| Eric D. Snider |
4/4 | "Likely to be remembered alongside Blade Runner as one of the most influential and stunning pieces of science fiction to open up the imagination of audiences everywhere." |
| eFilmCritic.com |
| Erik Childress |
B+ | "A very good film for all of its running time, fascinating for most of it and visionary for some of it." |
| Film Blather |
| Eugene Novikov |
C+ | "Although...visually striking and slickly staged, it's also cold,grey, antiseptic and emotionally desiccated." |
| One Guy's Opinion |
| Frank Swietek |

| Spirituality and Practice |
| Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat |

| Netflix |
| James Rocchi |

| Window to the Movies |
| Jeffrey Chen |
A- | "Spielberg conveys adult vulnerability in our over-saturated information age. Minority Report is a futuristic adventure with a humanistic, spiritual pulse." |
| Matinee Magazine |
| Jeremiah Kipp |
1.5/4 | "Minority Report aspires to more than mere mindlessness, but fails miserably, and as a result crystallizes nearly everything that I dislike about Spielberg's films." |
| MovieMartyr.com |
| Jeremy Heilman |
7.5/10 | "While not perfect, this sci-fi flick and its various scenes and sequences are likely to grow on viewers hours or days after seeing them, which is always a good sign." |
| Screen It! |

| Reeling Reviews |
