Good but not as Good as the original

Rating: 6/10 (10 November 2019)

Good overall retelling of the battle of Midway, with a few reservations. Woody Harrelson doesn't seem forceful enough as Chester Nimitz, and the character of Dick Best is hampered by either a speech impediment or is speaking some strange dialect. The movie includes all of the details in the background story and events leading up to the battle, and includes some great action scenes, but fails to have the zing of the original. Overall a good effort but the story is seen through a slightly duller lens and leaves me wondering why the original needed to be remade.
