Much better than I expected

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2020)

Having seen Pearl Harbor (2001) i was highly preoccupied against this movie. Pearl Harbor was too much heroic, too much american, too much computerized, it was just a love story in which the Japanese attack makes a 45 minute entry and that's all. It was anything but a history movie. Midway however was much more historic - OK in Emmerich style but history was depicted far better that it was in Pearl Harbor. Someone who knows history can do the comparison of the movie with the real facts and can find quite much similarities to the actual events. Thank God Rolland Emmeriched learned his lesson after the Pearl Harbor flop and brought as a movie that a history learner can watch.
