Movie Reviews of Midway (Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: A Flawed Classic & a Sentimental Favorite
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll start by saying I TOTALLY agree with my fellow reviewers regarding the use of recycled footage from Tora,Tora,Tora! & other WW II movies, footage of aircraft & ships either not present at Midway or not even in service until well after the battle as well as the incomplete feeling you get watching the film without the Coral Sea scenes.
I first saw this movie during it's 1976 theatrical release as a 9-year old & as flawed as it is Midway is the movie that inspired my interest in WW II, military & naval avation of 1914-45 & history in general so for that I'm grateful. I'll simply add that this movie needs to be reissued in a restored edition to reflect the original release......even the dopey scenes with Matt Garth's girlfriend!

Summary of Midway (Collector's Edition)
Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 09/02/2003 Run time: 132 minutes Rating: PgSix months after the Japanese destroyed the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, the Americans discovered the Japanese were planning to seize the Naval base at Midway Island--a perfect staging point for invading Hawaii or the mainland. Outnumbered four to one, the Americans won a surprise victory and shattered the backbone of the Japanese Imperial Navy. This 1976 film feels more like a history lesson than a drama, but World War?II buffs will appreciate the attention to historical fact (especially the way in which fate and a few bad decisions turned the tide), as well as the generous use of actual battle footage. The all-star cast includes Robert Mitchum, James Coburn, and Cliff Robertson in cameos and a whole slew of familiar TV faces in supporting roles. Hal Holbrook is fun as an oddball intelligence officer. --Geof Miller
