Disappointing!

Rating: 5/10 (19 February 2020)

The director of this film has made some of my favorite films. He has also made some of the worst films I'll never watch again. Midway sadly falls in the later category. Sad when you consider the terrific cast and very good acting. I had high hopes when started watching but as the film DRAAAGGGEEED on and on, i found myself bored almost to tears. Even the action scenes seemed slow and ponderous and seemed to drag. There were lots of missing events and key historical sequences that left me wondering what the point of the film was. I kept getting this creepy feeling that the film makers actually made a three part six hour mini-series then cut all the goof parts and called it a movie. Even the cinematography seemed faded or washed out just like the script. Sadly there are those who have given this film good reviews, just as there are those who actually think "Pacific Rim" or any of the last five "Star Wars" films are actually good movies. It just goes the show how jaded and brainwashed we have become.
