Product: Midway (Collector's Edition) (1976)
Rating: 3.0
Ruined with a love story...
Little did I realize, this movie would be on the cutting edge for a trend in historical movies. There was a stupid love interest story in it, not sure if it was historical or not, but it didn't add anything to the story. This is the reason this movie gets three stars.As for the meat of the movie, it wasn't bad, but it doesn't compare too well to Tora! Tora! Tora!. It didn't really explain the Japanese point of view very well (although you got some of it). It didn't go into the reasons why Japan decided to attack at Midway although they were kind of inferred at. Nor did it really cover the diversion raids up into the Aleutians. I thought Tora! Tora! Tora! did a much better job of covering the history. This one just seemed to want to get a movie about Midway out.
