I saw it last night with some of my kids.

My PC detector was turned up to max, and I found none.

In fact, it was less PC than the Charlton Heston version, with the stupid subplot about the Japanese girlfriend.

It won’t satisfy people with Shattered Sword level knowledge of the battle, but it was good enough that you should go see it.

I was sad on the way home as I realized that that wonderful America is dead and buried, and won’t be coming back.

I liked the movie.
I did not like that they tried to make the Japanese sympathetic
and that they dedicated the movie to include the Japanese who fought at Midway.

Much respect, nice ref, there.

That's the review I was looking for. The original Midway was cheesy and I didn't see a need to remake it.

I am a Shattered Sword guy, but I do have the ability to turn that kind of critical scrutiny down or off if I feel they really are trying to project a good image...after all, it isn't education to me, it is entertainment.

I am into the concept of the telling of the story, and using CGI in a good and constructive way that makes it...entertainment, and not brainwashing, then I can be in.

I am hopeful for it.

I share your feelings on an imperfect America back then that was light years in front of what we have today. America was imperfect in June 1942, and we were under a cloud of war, but there was common (and I do mean "common") sense in many areas where an idiotic or nonsensical view would be seen as such by people of radically different views in other areas.

There was still "common ground" between people who disagreed on many issues. I don't feel that we have that today.

“Shattered Sword “, thanks I have been trying to remember the name of that book for the last week. I heard it was excellent.
