I have seen Midway many times and the true story of that battle is positively amazing. That said, the movie is dissapointing because of all the stock footage used, featuring US aircraft not in use at the time of the battle. The side story with Chuck Heston, his son and the Japanese American chick was totally unnecessary. Midway could effectively be remade today more realistically by using less movie stars and modern CGI which could more accurately depict the hardware. It was the true turning point in the Pacific War, and a victory for the US on the level of Trafalgar. It deserves a first rate remake. Just don't let Michael Bay anywhere near it.
