Midway was surprisingly accurate. There is not much to criticize about it, historically. Though picking an America-hater like Woody Harrelson to be Nimitz was a joke.
I think I will watch Midway tonight to honor those that lost their lives that fateful day.
I was surprised that they showed the captured American pilots being shoved into the ocean with the weights tied to them, the way things are now, and all. Many Americans today know nothing of that.
I enjoyed the movie with the CGI-I could never get over the old “Midway” movie, I would watch it and think “Oh, come on. That is an Essex class carrier...”
I know you have to suspend criticism sometimes, but I could never look past it.
