War movies used to have dash and color and a certain corny sentimentality; Midway hardly even makes us care.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: B- --
There are few surprises here, yet the feature remains dependably engaging and charmingly acted, helping the production hurdle a few questionable artistic choices as it attempts to resurrect history over 30 years after the fact.

[Midway] builds up a lot of tension about that battle, but delivers nothing new.

Rating: 78/100 --
If the movie drags a bit in the dramatics department, that's probably because the filmmakers were shooting for 'accuracy' over 'emotion'.
Apollo Guide
Rating: 4/5 --
has the decency to devote the majority of the film to the actual events, and not get bogged down in a fictitious, smarmy love affair.

To make an uninvolving movie out of one of the most decisive battles of the Second World War may seem a dubious challenge, but there's no denying Universal their full credit in meeting it.

Rather dull, although certainly elaborate enough

Product Description:
A star-studded World War II drama about the great air and naval battle in which the underdog Yanks--outnumbered by the huge Japanese flotilla--won American military supremacy in the Pacific. Leading them to their heroic victory is Admiral Nimitz and Captain Matt Garth, the latter a junior officer whose life is complicated by his son's romance with a Japanese-American girl.
