Excellent!

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2020)

A fine depiction of events leading up to Midway and Woody Harrelson was surprisingly good as Nimitz. As expected, the film has attracted mixed reviews with some clearly angry that America won the war and that the US military are not depicted as homicidal, xenophobic murdering maniacs. It is a film and not a documentary, so character's behavior has obviously been modified for dramatic effect, however, it manages to be generally factual and covers the crucial events and actions leading up to Midway as well as the day of the battle.
Doubtless, someone will complain that there are no female generals or women in significant roles, but if you are looking for a good factual war film, Midway is the best for some time.
