Review of Midway (1976) by Per Gunnar J — 09 Jul 2011

An epic all star cast driven World War 2 drama that tells both sides of a decisive battle in the Pacific. I can't fault the production values of this film or the conscious effort to portray each side in an equal and honest light.

But at over two hours long and with numerous characters there is so much going on that at times its difficult to keep up. Maybe today if the story was to be retold then taking a leaf out of Eastwoods book and splitting the film in two might suit the historical events better.
