And at least, unlike Pearl Harbor, it didn’t have any silly romantic sub-plots.
Just saw it today. Film didn’t really have much of a plot at all. Just one action scene after another. I much prfer Saving Private Ryan to Dunkirk. That was a WW2 movie. Dunkirk is an art movie masquerading as a WW2 story, IMO.
Silly romantic sub-plots almost ruined Midway (1976), which was otherwise much better than Pearl Harbor,
