Review of Midway (2019) by Seussmytub — 08 Nov 2019

Bleech. The main character has a very funky accent (after researching it seems he's British- why couldnt they have hired an American actor instead?), and his scenes are very awkward and distracting. In fact the non-battle sequences are devoid of any drama and characterization that its all laughable.

The characters are all archetypes, and dont seem to be very realistic even though they are based on real life people. The script has no suspense or thrills- it seems more like a highlight reel of what happened on Pearl Harbor to the Battle of Midway. Even the Doolittle Raid takes up about five minutes- I think they included it because half the backers of this movie are Chinese. Let's not forget the cringe worthy dialogue too.

The original Charlton Heston movie was better- if it only had better special effects like this one it would have been a classic.
