Midway

[The Duke]

Just saw the film, I give it high marks for the challenging CGI but in particular the attention to detail and historical facts the movie stayed true to.

No stupid fake romances.
No composite characters - every actor who speaks represents a real, historical person.

Worthwhile tribute to our veterans, in particular to the naval aviators and sailors that turned the tide of the war in the dark days of 1942.

They completely ignored the romances from the battle of Midway?

No Kate Beckinsale? Pass.

Well....I suppose certain exceptions can be made for NC-17 content....

the streamers I've seen make it look like a video game...

I've heard the dialogue is pretty bad.

 

[Breastman]

I don't know.

I still prefer other war inspired titles like 'Top Bum', 'Das Booty', and 'Bridge Over the River KY'.

@AC2017 , I bet the dialog is a lot worse in these cinematic treasures.

Wasn’t there romance in the original Midway? Charleston Hestons son on the PT boat who left his Japanese detainee girlfriend behind.

Yes, maybe the most regrettable part of that movie.

His son was a fighter pilot. Made it back alive but Heston crashed on the carrier after battle damage. It was a really irritating subplot with the fake love story.

John Wayne’s son in ‘In Harms Way’ was a PT boat skipper w a girlfriend.

Yes, I’m a war movie junkie.

As I was typing that, John Wayne popped in my head but I couldn’t put it all together. Thanks for updating.
