The battle is considered one of the most interesting naval battles in WW2, which qualifies it as one of the most interesting naval battles in history, and it gets about 35 mins of attention in a 2h 18m movie about the battle of midway!?

The first hour and fifteen minutes could have been told in a set of opening credits because most of it is well enough known or could be quickly explained. Then we could have had a quality movie about the battle instead of a speed run of the Navy’s early experiences in WW2 with forced and unnatural dialogue and zero attachment to characters.

Waste of potential story telling and massive waste of talented actors.
