all things that are good an interesting movie to be sure. the acting you can tell is dated, i think it would be easier to appreciate it if the acting wasn't as bad. the battle of midway was surely one of the most important naval operation of world war two. if the Japanese had been able to take midway they would have easily been able to launch attacks against hawaii, and Aleutian islands, even the American west coast. i liked the movie because it showed real war clips of how flying was. the real crashing of the planes was amazing to look at. when this movie was made they didn't have the ability to special effect the airplanes flying or to show them bursting into flame as the careened out of control, and obliterate themselves into the blue ocean. as it goes though i have nothing more to say on the matter. but i have to write ten lines. so i will talk about man bear pig , and just keep repeating it man bear pig man bear pig man bear pig.
