Midway

Great heroes who helped us turn the war in our favor when it really, really mattered. Oh, and a great movie, too!!

Lots of CGI special effects and not enough time with the actors playing the roles of the people who part in the conflict. CGI special effects don't impress me and I find them boring and skippable. Practical special effects, such as those in the 1976 Midway and the unforgettable Tora Tora Tora, are amazing feats of moviemaking magic.

o filme tem bons momentos de ação no ar e no mar mas fica-se por aí. achei o enredo confuso; aconteciam demasiadas coisas ao mesmo tempo. Outro ponto negativo é o patriotismo saloio, ao gosto de MAGA redneck.

Another example of why I always ignore "professional" critics reviews. The Tomato Meter on this is just wrong. This was a well done retelling of a classic story. There was so much going on in the world and the region at the time, and the way this story was written did a good job of including most of it in a relativity short run time without bogging it down. Its seems the lessons and sacrifice of World War II are lost on so many young people in the west. Hopefully movies like this will encourage people to learn more.

it's great movie for portating ww2, but i would say watch netflix "greatest events of ww2 in colour" if you want to reality what happened. but for other movies from ww2, it's in the "worse" side but doesnt mean it's bad. i liked it myself

Most of the movie is filmed like it's a fever dream of some sort. The CGI wasn't great and added to this. The worst part is the goofy characters and their horrible tough guy accents and New Yorker impressions. It got a few laughs out of me and made it impossible to take things seriously. Overall it's disappointing given they had some incredible historical events to work with. P.S. The small part on the Doolittle Raid was great and feels like a different movie.

I thought it was okay as a movie. Similar to Pearl Harbor 20+ years ago, Hollywood had to add a few plot threads to try adding emotion. The part that really upset me was the end credits. The producers felt it necessary to dedicate the movie to the "American and Japanese sailors who fought at Midway". Sorry guys, Imperial Japan made an unprovoked and surprise attack on the US which escalated the world war. It's like a movie about the 9/11 attacks being dedicated to the terrorists who killed thousands of innocent civilians. TOTALLY INAPPROPRATE and flat out wrong.

Watchable, but by no means a classic. The 1976 film with Henry Fonda and Charlton Heston is far better and that's nearly fifty years old.

Got through quarter way and then the American heroics and stars and stripes started kicking in . Felt like another remake of the God awful independence day movie. So at this point I turned it off.

This is a bad movie. The special effects and the battle scenes, are particularly bad. Really bad. Embarrassingly bad. If you don't already know the history of Midway, well a lot of the movie doesn't make sense. The characters are sort of bland stereotypes.
