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.

yes yes YES!
I still remember seeing the trailer for Pearl Harbour in the theatres and thinking it was gonna be all sorts of awesome, and then we get the love triangle and Ben Affleck and terrible historical accuracy...it could have been great.
