At least “Pearl Harbor” had panache. The best thing you can say about Roland Emmerich’s “Midway” — a bland as hell, Walmart-ready, torpedo-by-numbers retelling of World War II’s most decisive naval battle — is that it doesn’t completely dehumanize the Japanese characters.…
davidehrlichOct 30, 2019Vielleicht mal eine kleine Faustregel für Herrn Emmerich: wenn ich kein Geld für eine der größten Schlachten des Pazifikkrieges habe, dann ist es vermutlich für alle Beteiligten besser, wenn ich KEINEN Film über eine der größten Schlachten des Pazifikkrieges…

Wow, you guys are harsh. I found this to be very entertaining and fun. The aerial scenes were thrilling! Maybe it was the Dolby theater that added to my experience. Some of it reminded me of Star Wars, but George Lucas was inspired by Flash Gordon and WWII newsreels, so…
MaryAnn 🌵Nov 9, 2019I was sort of just watching it... waiting for it to end.
Nicholas FaronJan 16, 2020I prefer the Johnny-Goes-To-War movie as Banana Republic commercial teenage melodrama that was PEARL HARBOR, but it's hard to deny that this stretches out that movie's incredible War-is-Rad attack sequence into an entire movie.

if i had a dollar for every speaking female, i probably couldn’t afford a small popcorn to accompany me throughout this slog
nathanNov 8, 2019The Letterboxd Era Catch-Up 4: 53 Days a Slave By and large, you know what you're going to get with a Roland Emmerich film. You're going to get awful dialogue, a good cast that's largely forgotten how to act, at least one person doing a terrible accent, and absolutely…

7.6/10 Decent movie but I just thought it was very dull at times - it was a really good depiction of the event though with good acting and I liked the fact that it including the Japanese point of view of the battle - overall interesting movie about a critical event in World War 2
Hayden C lovedMidwayOne of the better war movies I’ve watched. The movie made us care about the characters and their families too.

I don’t usually care for war movies, and find them boring, but this is definitely one of the best I’ve seen. I loved the cast, characters, and interactions between them all. 8/10 movie, I highly recommend if you like history or war, which I do not, yet still really enjoyed the film.
Andrew Gooder lovedMidwayThis definitely isnt the best WW2 movie I’ve seen so far, but its a damn good one. The historical piece of artwork this movie was truly captured some greatly important moments in history. Dont listen to the negative reviews, this movie told a story that needed to be heard. 9.7/10
Alexander Vafeas likedMidwayLike the movie a lot, good plot great visuals but the dialogue was poor to say the least. A lot of moments when the characters said things that didn’t make sense, didn’t drive the story forward or even would’ve been said in that time period.

I cried 20 minutes in. such a heart wrenching, breath holding, action packed incredible movie. instantly top of my list. hopefully this reawakened the lost patriotism and respect my generation doesnt seem to appreciate anymore.
SMsherry morrisThe way the story was told, it was as if you were there. Your heart hurt for the soliders as they were lost. For someone who was not born yet it was eye opening to see what our soldiers did back then for us today.
R.rick082691 .I went into it thinking it was going to be a simple movie about WWII but was I wrong. this movie was epicly AMAZING. I plan on buying it once it comes out

This was great! So many great actors definitely a theater movie!
KPKaylla PasqualeI love war movies based on true stories. This one by far is the best one I have ever seen besides Pearl Harbor. If you want to learn more about the attack in Pearl Harbor I highly suggest you to go see this movie it is definitely worth the money well spent!
DWDon WilliamsGreat movie. Had a great focus on the facts and didn’t stray away from the events. Worth watching

Wanting to honour history, Midway proves to be an oddly polite war film, afraid to be too exciting lest it interfere with the solemn tone.

Midway is so square, so old-school and old-fashioned, it almost feels avant-garde. Ambiguity is not its goal, nor is nihilism its motivating philosophy. It aims to celebrate heroism, sacrifice, determination and grit, and if you don’t like that it really does not care.

Midway will never be mistaken for a classic, and even box office success for the $100 independent production looks dicey. Stretches of the film work beautifully, though, and the sinking feeling for Japan’s forces is painted with sympathy, not schadenfreude.
