Great Movie 7+ if you like Pearl Harbor in early 20's you'll gonna like this one too.

If you want to see good war movies, watch 1977 "A Bridge Too Far" and 1969 "Battle of Britain." By contrast, this movie is simply rubbish. Also poor choice of writer and director. "A Bridge Too Far" had way better explanation of the overall situation through skillful use of exposition within the first half hour, and they did it with very good acting and dialogues that expertly differentiated all the major players. "Midway" by comparison is like having a kindergartner write the script and a manic preteen direct the movie. The aerial combat scenes in "Battle of Britain" are probably the best ever done on screen. And they did not have any CGI. The big air battle towards the end of that movie had more tension and realism that put all the fake and unrealistic plane scenes in "Midway" to cartoonish shame. Heck, even the ensemble cast of pilots in BoB were more interesting and memorable. Both "A Bridge Too Far" and "Battle of Britain" cost about the same as "Midway" in today's dollars. Both also had an ensemble cast of well-known and very good actors. Sadly, "Midway" seems to have wasted all of its money on really bad-looking CGIs and also failed to have the same quality of actors as in 1969 or 1977. Probably all the good actors read the script and immediately saw how dumb it was. A quick note about how this 2019 version compares with the 1976 movie: Both are equally bad. A few examples: A complete disregard for the order of battle, which was of critical importance in the actual battle. The several air attacks from Midway Island were never shown. This is a deep disrespect for the men who died in these crucial assaults that made possible the final outcome. Also, the older version used historically inaccurate footage, while the newer version had inexcusable inaccurate CGI version of aircraft and ordnance. If you enjoy history and in particular WW2 history, then skip this dumb movie.

This was a great flick fro beginning to end. Plane fight after plane fight. Great film. I don't understand the bad reviews I really dont. It was enjoyable and I certainly liked it.

As someone very knowledgeable about the subject, I was somewhat disappointed. Whether it was the wrinkled uniforms, the painful dialogue, the over-the-top dramatics and exaggerated explosions (hey, it's Emmerich!)... it was clear the film was not made for people like me who know the details and the characters very well. The rating depends greatly on the target audience. It's clear this film was made for a younger audience, and as such, it does a very good job of conveying the history quite accurately. It's a lot to take on with a 2:20 movie (complete with a 6-month summary of events leading up to the title battle) and it does a fine job of that. Correct history of this great nation tragically just isn't taught anymore, so I heartily applaud any effort to do so. I just wonder if younger audiences have any desire to learn it. So if I'm rating from that perspective, it jumps up a few points. I just wish a little more care with the details and script had been taken to leave the older audience satisfied from our knowledge level.

I am a veteran and this was a hit. The special effects were good and I don't understand why people were saying it was too much. The characters were evenly played out in the movie and there was no stupid romance part that was in the last Pearl Harbor movie. It told the story amazingly and it dived right into what it's all about. You don't need too much character development to tell a story of four people during that time. It was such a great watch and I Definatley recommend it. It ranks up there as we were soldiers! It's been a long time a good war movie came out and this was it. And when you see other reviews about it's a disgrace to veterans don't listen to those reviews. Obviously they haven't been through tough times such as how these people lived. I was in live fire so I can compare. Enjoy the movie is amazing!

I hated that this movie was so cheesy! They took a great battle victory and made it about special effects. The story was over shadowed by the director's need to make the movie all about the visual effects and cocky attitudes. Every American knows that our fighting men are brave and stead fast in their duties. We did not need to see this farce, and they should have just told the store. I had to go home and watch the 1976 Midway movie to get this one out of my head.

Oof this movie had a lot of potential and was a bigger disappointment than I was expecting. It had so much going for it too that it should have been much better than it ended up being. The movie had its good points along with its draw backs though. The cast of this film was outstanding and I was pleasantly surprised every time a new big name actor popped up on screen, I was really not expecting that. But even with all that star power the movie fell short, the overwhelming cast is really the only big positive for this film and the general historical story that it told. The movie does cover much much more than just the battle of Midway and jumps around quite a bit. That wasn't bad necessarily but it left you trying to follow lots of major events that happened during World War 2. This could be perfectly fine if done a little better but over all was not the end of the world. The two biggest things that were the downfall of this movie were the main character and the general look of the film. Ed Skrein is absolutely abysmal in this movie, his acting was bad, the depiction of a historical figure was terrible and the fake accent he was trying to do was just grating in all regards. He was such a bad choice for this film and brought down the stellar performances of all the much more seasoned and proven actors who were in this. The movie is almost all done CGI which was to be expected after all but it looks so cartoonish and bad. The entire time I was watching it I was wondering how this new film could make this all look so bad when it had been done in the past and looked so much better. The best example would be Pearl Harbor from 2001. That film used CGI as well but it looked so much better. I wish who ever had been in charge of visuals for that movie had done this one too. It took you out of the epic events that they were showing. If you are in the mood for a good World War 2 movie look else where. I have no intention of ever seeing this again and viewed it as more a wast of time than anything else.

This is probably the first time in over 50 years Hollywood made a solid war movie without inserting a sappy, contrived romantic sub-plot, pushing some radical political agenda, or re-writing history. The movie is good. The dialogue is believable, natural, and convincingly delivered in almost all cases. While no movie is perfectly accurate historically - historians don't even agree on much, so who is to say - the few errors here are trivial and immaterial to the how events progressed. As somebody who is a buff on this period of the early Pacific war - reading every book by Prange, Lord, and many others - I was very impressed. I went into this movie expecting the worst from Hollywood, but this was their best historical piece in generations. Even the casting seemed to echo the real people in looks and demeanor. The Japanese point of view wasn't neglected either. While I can't say whether the Japanese dialogue was believable or well-delivered, by all outward appearances this acting was also top notch. The similarity between the real Admiral Nagumo and the actor was particularly striking. They made the right call in using solid Japanese actors speaking Japanese. The accurate portrayal of the friction between the Imperial Navy and Imperial Army with Emperor Hirohito almost powerless to restrain the militarists was very refreshing. This was a very important, complex contributing factor to the war. Few outside Japan and some narrow historical circles ever learn about this dynamic. About the worst I can say about this movie is the pace was too fast. Unless stretched into an 8 hour mini-series, I can't imagine they could have avoided this. With my background, I could fill in gaps and context the movie seemed to miss. Others might be left confused. Even though not well-read on this chapter of history, my spouse followed the storyline without issue and really enjoyed the movie as entertainment. Kudos to the producers, writers, actors, and entire crew. This was a job well-done and a fitting tribute to heroes like Layton and Best.
