Midway - (7.5/10)
Wasn't as bad as the general ratings out there (with a large audience/critic score disparity in RT). I'm not the biggest fan of Roland Emmerich work, and thought ID4 was corny with Will Smith as saving grace, but this one wasn't so bad. I've noticed there's intentional film grain added, which I dislike, but I figure it's to make the computer effects less noticeable in the details, which was likely why used in the Irishman with the computer rendering of the actors to make them look young. There's more character development with this movie so I can understand why this one would be liked more than Pearl Harbor, although character development wasn't particularly good. I believe that this movie is close to historical events, which is good, but honestly the way the movie was layed out, I couldn't follow the story all that coherently.
