Review of Midway

Midway (2019)
2/10
Is this a cartoon?
12 July 2020
Admittedly I didn't watch the whole thing, far from it actually. I really couldn't get into it as I found the acting so over the top by pretty much everyone. This literally felt like watching Sin City, but with much worse acting, especially the lead who just tried so hard to be a fearless cocky idiot that it was just cringe worthy.

As far as the effects & action sequences, as others have mentioned it looked very cartoonish, again similar to Sin City, which fit the bill nicely for that movie as it was supposed to come across like a comic, whereas here it just bounced me right out of the movie and made it seem like I was watching a video game, it was uncomfortably bad...

Between the overacting and the cartoonish effects I couldn't even make it half way through this. I don't know what I would have done if I saw this in the theater, and am glad I didn't have to find out. If you want to see realistic flying and battle scenes watch Dunkirk, granted that was on a much smaller scale but at least it looked real, this just looked like a cartoon or game, either way it looked bad...
