while the movie doesn't break new ground, it's a story pretty well told. If you're a fan of war epics of movies about flying, you'll find something that holds your interest
the effects work rivals the likes of "Saving Private Ryan" and, well, "Independence Day". It's spectacular and realistic-looking; That's to be expected. What's not expected is how serious-minded and well-acted the picture is
overly long and overstuffed with both characters and battle scenes, this film (based on the same-named 1976 movie) clearly has its heart in the right place, but it's not much fun to watch
a film as bad as this could be a good laugh, it could be mildly entertaining, endearing almost. But it's too long for that; It's annoying, obnoxious and one-dimensional; Just don't waste your life watching "Midway"
"Midway" is a big, bold, brazen attempt to detail one of World War II's most significant moments. But in a post "Saving Private Ryan"-"Dunkirk" landscape, it feels astonishing anyone is still making war movies like this
