There is a lot of good stuff in "Midway". But for some reason, it doesn't work as well as it should have. One problem is the look of the movie. It took me quite a while to get used to it. A lot of the movie doesn't look real. A little actual location photography would have gone a long way. The characters were another problem. In real life these men were great heroes but in the movie they weren't that interesting. "Midway" does have its fair share of excitement. There's no denying that. It's just that, overall, this movie misses the mark.
