What I find funny is that before World War II we had an army smaller than 100,000 and then a soon as Japan bombed Pearl Harbor we start turning out war machines and soldiers Twice as fast is German and five times faster than Japan I just find that kind of funny its like hey lets go attack the small little country It turns in this massive fucking titan.

Who came here after watching the movie to clarify the battle tactics.

Love Japanese people and their hardworking nature. But why they always shouting

Finally there is a WW2 movie with the right balance of modern effects and good storytelling. I've always preferred the straightforward stories in Tora Tora Tora and A Bridge Too Far over the newer gory angst filled war movies and those which deal with obscure insignificant incidents. Unlike Bay's Pearl Harbor or the older Midway movie there is no wasted time on silly romances. Also the dragginess of Eastwood and the gore of Spielberg are not present here.
The screenplay is clear and comprehensive from pre Pearl Harbor to the decisive day everything is clearly explained. Doolittle deserves mention. Good history lesson for some folks nowadays who seem to forget which country was defending themselves against those who waged aggressive wars! Slower moments are not dull as they are used to explain strategy, training and the role of intelligence.
The air battle scenes and dive bombing scenes are thrilling yet clear. You can still see who is who. You are really put right into the center of things. Superb exciting cinematography without looking fake or too CGI.
The casting is brilliant. Using distinctive famous actors to portray the various heroes helps the viewer remember who is who and build up sympathy for whether they make it or not. Ed Skrein usually the anti hero type role. Here he plays the cocky pilot and his eventual vulnerability is touching. Luke Evans is convincing as another hero pilot. Patrick Wilson is perfect as the intelligence officer who helped get it right. The older actors like Denis Quaid and Aaron Eckhart are well cast too and Woody usually a goofball is fine. Actors usually don't associate with historic roles like Darren Criss and Jonas are surprisingly right. Mandy Moore looks pretty and suitable in her WW2 getup. Should do more roles from this period. The Japanese naval officers are distinctive enough to differentiate.
A truly international effort it took a German director, Chinese producers, an American writer and great British and American cast to make the best WW2 movie in decades.

So can we get more of this? This is the type of content that got me watching the History channel back in the day. Very informative and very well put together. The Japanese Fleet lost the moment they failed to achieve several objectives at Pearl is simply a huge stroke of luck. And as a certain Japanese Admiral said, if they can't managed to force a victory, or at least momentum of victory, in the first 6 months, then they are shit out of luck in the war. Which many military blunders after ensured that.

After watching this I have to say, the new movie Midway was very accurate. What did we learn kids? Communication, communication, communication. Lots of action, graphics, and special visual effects but jumps between significant events with lean foundation for the event and effect. Acting was well done.I wasn't expecting a documentary but the "What Happened" and a little "Why" was very thin. If you are impressed with special visual effects you will like it. I saw the 1976 version of Midway a couple time so can't help making the comparison. In my opinion it flowed between events and personal plots better and was a more rounded movie.

Fixing a Aircraft Carrier with tape and baling wire is one of the most American things i've heard. It's interesting how they chose to say naval war although midway was the second naval battle in history fought by navally transported aircrafts without crossfire among the ships themselves. Nice song however. *IJN Arrives at Midway* USS Enterprise & Yorktown: Surprise. My personal reveiw of this movie. I like it a lot: The events in the film are quite historically accurate. Of course there are some details that are wrong (some plane & ship designs, too large explosions etc, Japanese fleet ship being way too close to each other etc. But I feel the film makers tried hard enough to tell the events in the correct order and then had to wrap it up in some Hollywood stuff to sell it to general audiences. And the budget was only 40 mil, which is not much for this type of Hollywood film. In my opinion they did well with that they had to work with. As someone whos read a lot of the actual history at Midway, it was interesting to watch how the attacks may have gone down, even if its not 100% realistic, sequences like this were thrilling in the theatre.
