Well done ... A movie that doesn't try to change history

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2019)

Midway is not really a remake, but a telling of the story from the eyes of the men on the Enterprise during the critical early days of World War II. It doesn't try to cover everything.
Whether it's Slim Townsend wrestling a wayward torpedo on the deck or Bruno Guido dueling a Betty, the events depicted really happened. Not to burst bubble, but McCluskey did drop a bomb. Max Leslie oFGf the Yorktown squadron was the squadron leader who lost his bomb.
It's the first movie at Midway that correctly depicted the warships as they appeared in the war and not a tacky new carrier fill in for example. I feel it was well researched, accurate and the action kept me on the edge of my seat. A great movie.
