TYFYSGrundleStiltzkin said:I can't find the original Midway thread. Anyhow, can't say I was disappointed because it was pretty much what I expected. Writing and direction isn't much different than a war movie from the 1950s, except for the hero-scream into the camera roughly 81 tims. Half of the characters had either Brooklyn or Southern accents straight out of Looney Toons.

Zero Dark Thirty very good but a stretch to be “war” movie. Same for American Sniper. Lone Survivor was aight.ThomasFremont said:

Midway was pretty good considering it was made in 2019 by a Hollywood that is only capable of 1 original thing per year.
Dunkirk was ok.
American Sniper was ok.
Lone Survivor was good if it was fiction but in reality, just ok.
Saving Private Ryan and Blackhawk Down might be the best war movies of all time. -

Appocypse Now was also good.
I don’t consider MASH to be a war movie.
I left Fury off my list of good to Great War movies. -
MASH is the greatest anti war movie ever
The absurdity is so well done -
The recent Catch-22 series was actually pretty well done, although it deviated from the book in both plot and feel quite a bit. Both excellent.

And yet it takes place in a war zone, so it's an anti-war, non-war, war movie.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:
