This movie was a little long, but it told more than the story of Midway... It spent a lot of time with setting the stage with the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. Midway had an All-Star Cast which you do not see that much these days. In my opinion -the original was much better as far as being historically correct and providing a much more detailed account on the Midway battle itself and of course less drama. Still a good movie and worth the watch.
