Midway

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.

Even though all I expected was a Emmerich popcorn movie, it just wasn't good. The CGI was bad. Lead actor choice was questionable. Dialogue was horrific. Story was confusing and you couldn't really tell what was happening in the context of the battle and how it relates to the overall importance of the war. It could have been so much better.

What an abysmal film! The acting is really bad, the storyline is all over the place and the CGI reminds me of films from the 80's! Did have high hopes for it but was left severely disappointed and as such would not recommend it.

Midway deserves some kind of negative rating. It is amazing how something this terrible could have gotten approved to filming. The dialog is dreadful. There are cliche "hot shot" rulebreakers. The CGI is terrible, so bad that the cuts between live and CGI are jarring. There are anachronisms, such as ships at Pearl Harbor having Oelikon guns. This fln has no redeaming values at all.

I've seen most of the WWII-inspired films that Hollywood has put out over the years, but I had missed this one. Since it was streaming on Netflix, I figured that 6 years late was better than never. Overall, my impressions were very favorable towards this film. When it comes to war, it is very difficult to accurately represent on film and carries a huge burden with it. A burden to tell the stories of real life heroes, political motivations, what we did right/wrong and to accurately portray all sides of a conflict. Although the scope of Midway is very limited, it seemed to do a good job overall at telling this particular story, a microcosm of WWII. The acting was decent, the effects and sequences were amazing, and overall the story was mostly understandable. I think more can be done in films like this to help the audience better follow the strategies being employed by both sides, and a better geographical representation so that we can become more fully immersed in how the battles played out. Overall though, this is a very ambitious and impressive war film and I will definitely watch it again in the future.
