Midway

About 20 minutes in... am I crazy or is this some of the worst acting and writing I’ve ever seen?
Clarifying, I’m talking about the new version. Not the 1970’s version.

You can’t make a judgement on a movie like this until you’ve atleast hit the Midway point
Ayoooo
Ayoooo

The 1976 version is better.

The 1970's version is light years better than the one made more recently.

I thought this was about Mortal Kombat.

The acting is so so at best but for the most part the battle sequences are fairly accurate. Way more so than the the 70s movie or Bay's Pearl Harbor.

The '70 Tora Tora Tora spent their money on a spectacular attack section, and had no money left for big name stars. The film was a box office disaster.
The producers of the '76 Midway took that lessen to heart and spent their budget on name stars.

I liked the entire 70’s midway
I thought the new one was ok and some of the battle scenes were better but you’re comparing advanced technology against 70’s technology and actual battle footage.
Ill still watch them both again but for some reason I have to watch original midway, Patton, and John Wayne’s longest day almost every time they come on.
Wish we had a good Pearl Harbor that I could watch every year on dec 7

From Here to Eternity (1953) is better than Pearl Harbor (2001) too. Neither is really a war movie. They're both love stories.

Midway did a good job with the historical accuracy of the events in the order they unfolded. But the acting and screenplay was not good.

Thanks for checking in on us.
<--We're all good out here.
I watched it when it first came out and was wanting to see more of the actual island.

The English actor with the overbite who got replaced in GoT ruined the movie.

It is a bad movie, and the fact that a lot of people like it says a lot about the quality of today's big-budget films.

I thought the acting was horrendous, the action was meh. But the acting was just so bad that it ruined everything.

You’re not wrong. Just not a good movie. The story itself should lend to a making great movie. The shear number of just god awful movie storylines and acting today is astounding. This new Midway is just Bad Acting stuffed around eye candy CGI.

Could not finish it. It is such an epic story with American men as underdogs. Only Hollywood could frick it up.

It's a Roland Emmerich movie, that's all that has to be said about it. It was independently funded because no studio would greenlight it and the previews looked horrendous.
The guy somehow made Independence Day and The Patriot (they're at least entertaining) and has made nothing but garbage, no plot, CGI fests since.

Hollywood doesn't want to show America winning, so they had to frick it up.
