great WWII flick

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2020)

When I saw the trailer of this flick I thought, hell it's been a while since I have seen a flick about WWII. I grew up with them in the seventies and eighties. Knowing a lot about the battle at Midway but not all the details I was glad I have seen this war flick.
It wasn't that bad and luckily it's about the battle itself and not all the love and wifes left behind so on that part I was satisfied. What i also liked were the fact that the Japanese did talk their own language.
The effects also did had a big part in this flick and they were stunning. Towards the end you will see thefaces of the real heroes and what honors they received. After all it was a important battle in WWII.
I won't compare it with the 1976 flick with Hston and Fonda, you just can't do it due the difference on the effects. Still, over here it flopped it was only one week in theaters but I enjoyed it, over 2 hours were over before I knew it.
