Dauntless: The Battle of Midway

Bad CGI for the most part. Boring 95% of the time. Horrible acting by everyone involved. Plus, obvious shills in the reviews are laughable.

BTW, altlamp, this isn't about your father if he lived and he sure as hell didn't lead the squadron. Ramsay was an ensign. Ensigns don't lead a latrine party much less a dive bombing squadron. Richard Best led VB-6 at Midway. You dishonor him with your lies.

The writing was so bad that I literally cringed every time an actor would open their mouth. How could anyone write something so bad. It was like the script was written by a ten year old child. It was also an insult to those brave men who fought gave their lives in Battle of the Midway.

Are you reading this because you wanted to see Midway? Well this is another movie, and I just wasted an hour on it and even the beer didn't make it any better. It's just horrible: bad CGI, bad acting, I didn't learn anything about the battle of Midway. I wish I could just see a 15 minute documentary about the battle and the 2 guys stranded at sea and whatever happened to them. Other reviews say the depiction of the ships and planes was historically accurate, so I'll give it +3 stars for the CGI and battle scenes, +2 for the story, -3 for making me accidentally see it instead of Midway, and +1 star for helping me forget my problems and feel very sorry for everyone involved in this fiasco.

In top three of my worst movie experiences. I like Judd, but this is a waste.

While I enjoy a good war drama, I found this to be one big snooze fest. A watch once then forget about movie sorry.
