Midway Movie Review
A Pretty Good Movie
I went and saw the film, Midway, last night with one of my buddies. The movie was actually pretty well done.
The movie Midway takes place during WWII, and it shows the events leading up to the battle of Midway and the battle itself.
Midway was a pretty enjoyable film. I cannot attest to the historical accuracy of the film due to the fact I don't know much about this period. However, I will be judging this movie on a cinematic basis. The acting was good for the most part, the music was decent but repetitive, the action was well done, and the pacing was fine.
The acting overall in Midway was enjoyable. I think it was a little campy at a few points but pretty solid overall. There weren't any standout performances but everyone seemed to give it there all. I didn't see much promotion for this film before going in, and I was surprised by how large of an ensemble cast this film has. Again, everyone was solid in Midway, but nothing too outstanding.
The music itself was pretty good. However, I think I've heard a few songs on this soundtrack before, and I'm really disappointed about that because I think an original score would have worked great in the film. So yeah, it wasn't bad music, but I think they could have done better.
The action reminded me of WWII films from the early 2010s not something you see to much today. It was a bit stylized and that's alright. I did enjoy it and thought they did an alright job. They knew how to film a good action scene and they paced it well.
So, this brings me to my last point, pacing. I was surprised with how well the pacing was in this film. It seemed to keep a constant tempo for most of the film and it did it well. There were a couple points I wished they would have slowed down a bit, but it was alright overall.
If you're into WWII films, you'll probably enjoy seeing Midway. Again, I cannot attest to the historical accuracy, but as a film, it was enjoyable.
final score: 4.3/5
