Indeed, it's the joke which never gets tired or overused - the supposition that theatrical presentations captured to film actually happened and wasn't the result of setting up, choreographing, rehearsing, and finally filming each shot - that it was all real as it happened and the camera ops were actually in the midst of epic war action, as opposed to on film sets and locations.

@@gildor8866 Although I do agree with a lot of the criticism here, there was (and still is) a lot about this battle to unpack. Red Parks was honored in the first movie about Midway. It's clear that Emmerich did not want to repeat anything shown in the 1970's, so he focused on other heroes that the 1976 version did not focus on. Right or wrong, that's what he did. Even with that focus, there are still a lot of heroes of this one battle who do not get mentioned. If you really want some in-depth stuff, I urge everyone reading this to read the book The Battle of Midway by Craig Symonds. It is really something. Could this movie have been better? Absolutely. Was it still a pretty good flick? Absolutely!

Or for that matter, respecting the war criminals of the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces.
My only complaint about this movie was the exclusion of the Grumman Wildcat and it's pilots on the American side, and the Japanese Aichi 'Val' dive bomber and it's crews. Both of these types played important roles in this historic battle.

I urge everyone to watch a documentary on KZbin about the battle. And how truly brave the American pilots were. Heck, even the Japanese were brave. But, the way most of those squadrons just.... died. Doing nothing. But a few determined squadrons, through insane luck, manage to sink the main strike force of the Japanese navy... in a few minutes, really. Within minutes, 3 of the 4 Japanese carriers were burning bow to stern.

No, that's garbage. They believed the Japanese would likely be attacking somewhere but the conventional wisdom was the Philippines - which they did soon after Pearl Harbor. The fact of the matter is no one thought the Japanese had the capability to move such a large strikes force into range of Pearl Harbor, including refueling at sea, without being detected, as well as imagining they could project that kind of striking power at once and so effectively. The whole "they knew about Pearl harbor" is just the same old conspiracy bs and what the US knew and when they knew it, plus what they understood and expected is well documented.
