While this movie is awful in many obvious ways, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Objectively I should rate as a 3/5, especially since I don't think it will age well (and especially compared to the WWII greats), I can't help but smile and cheer for the strategic politicking, pilots, commanders, and intelligence officers on both sides.

This movie brought to life the history books I read on the Battle of Midway. It's not your typical Hollywood story, it's what actually happened! So if you are looking for mindless entertainment like Pearl Harbour, look elsewhere. It takes a person who appreciates and knows the history to enjoy this movie.

The lead pilot in this movie was absolutely terrible, not believable, tried too hard to play a bad ass, too many close ups on him, just horrible acting all around. Totally down played the whole movie. What a joke. 2 thumbs way down.
