: Hollywooded remake of the 1942 Battle of Midway during World War II. Not perfect history, but perfectly watchable.

I'm not a fan of Hollywood doctoring up perfectly interesting stories. And this took quite a few liberties, but fewer than the 1976 version of the film. It most made the characters a little one-dimensional, made the scenery a little more interesting than it was, and got a few little details/people/timelines wrong. So it wasn't too bad, making it was a worthy telling of a story. Not quite a documentary, but a quite watchable Hollywood'ed version of one. So it wasn't the best war film, nor the worst -- it was just a nice throwback with a lot of historical accuracy on what happened in WWII, and a good popcorn film. <ul><li>Property "Left" (as page type) with input value "File:RottenMID.jpg|250px|x150px" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.</li> <!--br--><li>Property "Right" (as page type) with input value "This got a 44/92 split between reviewers/viewers.

Film Critics[edit source]
If you want to see leftist bias in media, you just have to look at all the examples of how far off from their reviewers are from their viewers. I use the spread as a predictor of whether I'll like a film. Big spread with audience over critics? I'm going to like it. But big spread with critics over audience? I'll usually side with audience.
