Midway Battle
Fair! Lots of Hollywood trash thrown in for content filler that would not really have been needed if a historical fact visualization were wanted. Does not come close to "We Were Soldiers", "Tora, Tora, Tora", and others even though it was attempted to fill a void of this epic battle that coulda been a contender.Lots of great flying footage of WW-2 aircraft and the special effects were good for the time this film was made--but it is still just fair.One annoying scene is when Charlton Heston crashes his Hellcat on the fantail of the carrier. They at least could have used footage of a Hellcat instead of the Panther jet they used from the Korea footage available.
