What people forget about is these WWII veterans who survived battles such as these returned home after the war and went back working their regular 9 to 5 jobs as teachers, bankers, mechanics, etc...
Meanwhile the WWI veterans were left jobless from the Great Depression and when they marched on Washington DC, McArthur sent Patton to conduct a tank assault on them in 1932.
Few people realize that these scenes were actually intended for, but cut from, the movie "The Little Mermaid". That's why this clip is called "Arial Attack".
I know… Today is a fire and forget world and now remote Drone strikes… Warfare has evolved at a shockingly rapid pace. Too bad humans are at their Best when they are doing their worst
Except Japanese AA over the carriers wasnt that thick. Japanese Carrier AA was weak and relied heavily on Air Power as well as picket ships which werent that close.
Not everything is manual during WW2, example such as German Flak battery are using Fire Control system that adjust the consistency of their barrage into Allied bombers.
What I really love about the bombing runs in this movie is the soundtrack. The sound track mimics the sound of the planes' propellers while flying or diving down at their target.
I know… That eerie sound effect as they are diving in really intensified the scenes. It’s very simple yet had a huge impact. The soundtrack is really good
I appreciate the fact that they don’t sugar coat the details of the battle to make american’s feel good. Most of the dive bombers missed their targets. It was a few lucky hits that won the day.
From the documentaries I’ve seen… The crew of the enterprise did comment heavily about how much luck played a role that day. Many were shocked that they never got hit. These were very honorable man, they did not exaggerate their tails… They were happy to make it out alive. I also appreciated how they didn’t bash the Japanese on this… They actually portrayed them in a rather positive light except for the one commander who is quite arrogant but I think the actor played the role quite good. Arrogance is a high trait in Japanese culture
@Stesilaus They didn't necessarily sacrifices themselves. The Japanese went after the first sight of American planes and go after it. What I did know was that what the Americans would do is they would launch the attack groups at the same time, so the Japanese would only focus on one group instead of attacking the other. Keep in mind that the torpedo bombers reached their targets first before the dive bombers which explained it.
@Stesilaus Read the book "shattered sword" from parshall and tully to have an almost definite answer about this. The torpedo planes did not really lure the cap (at least not the first 2 squadrons), they prevented the whole japanese fleet from emptying their decks and launching their attack which would have surely sent yorktown and maybe another ship to the bottom in the morning, moreover, the combined attack of yorktown and enterprise planes (which is not explained not told in the movie) did saturate the cap by presenting a simultaneous attack coming from different directions to an overburdened japanese air patrol which wasn't coordinated by radio nor had any radars to give some advance warnings. If the torpedo squadrons which sacrificed themselves had not showed up, the 10h20 morning attack may not have destroyed 3 carriers but merely damage them (even if heavily) or just put them out of the battle like the Shokaky at the battle of the coral sea. And of course the odds of 3 to 1 which the japanese faced in the afternoon would not have happened. The US navy had both a strategic advantage, more planes and luck on their side, but the japanese complacency before the battle also ensured they could not go out of that battle unscathed.
If anyone was wondering or doesn't know why the Dauntless' were flying so close together during the dive, it was due to miscommunications between squadron, as one group was to hit either the Kaga or Akagi, and another were to go for a different carrier, but instead they all went for the same target and ended up in that tight dive formation and nearly flew into each other.
That was the other carrier? Best and some of his squadron went to bomb the "far carrier" which is the akagi because mclusky decided to bomb kaga instead of akagi
That was the other carrier? Best and some of his squadron went to bomb the "far carrier" which is the akagi because mclusky decided to bomb kaga instead of akagi
@@yello480 Not really? Best was going for Kaga and Mcclusky was to hit Akagi, but due to a miscommunication, both squadrons went for Kaga, hence why they were all bunched up. Best realized it last minute and switched targets. Learn to read
Exactly.... those guys had some fucking nerve to be going straight at a Target with everyone on the ship trying to kill you. Makes Maverick in Top Gun look like a big-time pussy..
...."Finally" you say that as in it's the first movie ever in 2020 There's many films. And you also forget about kamikaze (they were considered dive bombers)
While the Anti Aircraft is exaggerated here. Both in volume & number of hits. In real life Americans actually only lost one plane to Japane Anti Aircraft during the battle.
Imagine all the luck of dodging all that flak and then hitting the ship with a standard US Dud torpedo. They finally fixed the firing mechanism in 1943...
@@jacklodge8560 hey Mr youtube tough guy YOU brought up the stukas! Where did I ever say a Stuka was in the clip and I never said there was one in the clip Ok tool
is it just me, or if you watch the second bombinb scene over a few dozen times, you just get the feeling the directors wanted to create the effect of a samurai warrior making a dedicated strike against an opponent. Full focus, full direction onto the target, but at the same time keeping his wits and courage with him, because he intends to strike not just crash into the deck, the warrior seeks ultimate victory with a perfect attack.
LT Best was credited with the first hit on the Hiryu and the sinking of the Kaga. He is the only pilot that received credited for hitting both carriers that day that the Enterprise attacked. McCluksky was in surgery for the second one getting his shoulder repaired. Also the scene were they threw the gunner and pilot overboard attached to the anchor actually happened. It was confirmed after the war by reading the after action report of the ship involved were they stated recovered American dive bomber crew in occurrence with standing fleet orders crew was executed by standard means.
I really love the scene where the Rear Admiral Yamaguchi dismisses his crew and stays aboard his agonizing ship. He seems so paternal, so quiet, so proud...
Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi. The scene of the crew gathered on the deck as Hiryu sinks is, in fact, reality. Many officers cried as Yamaguchi vowed to stay with the ship, because he was like a father figure to many of them. A great commander and a good man, just one stuck on the wrong side of the war.
Ian W. Toll's Pacific War series really goes into detail as to how friggin difficult it was for dive bombers. I feel like this movie really does justice to the immense skill and bravery that these men demonstrated, flying into walls of shrapnel. The one thing I wish the movie did was to use multicolored bursts for the flak, which is what the Japanese did historically. Different colors were used for different altitudes so as to help with their aim.
Part of me wonders if it was intentional. I remember people dragging Fury for having the tanks shoot "lasers," without knowing what tracer rounds were, haha.
@@AntonymLowe I bet they'd hate an accurate movie about the Pacific naval war then considering the Japanese also used coloured shell dyes for their guns so they could tell which shots belonged to which ship.
I like his books, too. You can tell the movie used his books a lot for references. I remember reading about Gaido shooting the bomber with the SBD's MG and the weather during Doolittle raid being stormy, the wind being around 37 knots, from Toll's book. When they show it in the movie, i'm actually impressed they went this far.
Something I like about this movie is how the action sequences are slower pace unlike many other recent games and movies where it is so fast pace that it becomes ridiculous
F-ZERO ZERO I was referring to the action sequences. Compared to the stuff you see in Michael Bay’s films or the BF V trailers where you see people just rushing into bullet storms and explosions for no other purpose than to create a sense of intensity this one was refreshing because it felt more normal and realistic. This scene is a good example you see the dive bombers begin their dive and the AAA coming at them but you don’t see them making wild and crazy and unrealistic maneuvers, to me it felt so realistic that It actually reminded me of the WW2 documentaries I used to watch in the History Channel when I was a child.
@@jp-sn6si I mean compared to the stuff you see in Michael Bay’s films or the BF V trailers to name a few, yeah pretty slow pace and I really like it. Reminds me of the WW2 documentaries I used to watch in the History Channel when I was a child.
Yes, it's over the top Hollywood, but imagine being 20 years old and flying into that shit storm, then pushing that stick forward and dive towards an almost certain death hoping you can score a hit and pull up in time. No joke.
Its exagerated on how low the planes drop the bombs. The role of the dive bomber was to fly as high as possible and use the air brakes to precisely drop the bombs from an high altitude (1500 meteres to 3500 meteres) to avoid being destroyed by flaks or airplanes. Hell the planes in this scene were not even affected by air drag, you can pull up your airplane but depending on your speed it will take a few secs(its a lot when flying a plane) just for your plane to reorientate, and the heavier the mass the worst it gets.
@@sergeeduardodegernier5195 not to mention the fact that the light AA rounds seem to be exploding at increasingly lower altitudes as the planes dive. That wouldn't happen as they had to be set to explode at a certain altitude before firing. It would be impossible to tailor the detonation time to the height of a rapidly diving aircraft.
Darn sight easier to hit a long narrow target if you bomb down it , not across it. If attacking from the stern then the ships movement slightly reduces the speed differential giving a couple of seconds more aiming time.
@@DieyoungDiefast jackass watch the movie or at least learn the history. Some of the pilots were inexperienced / under trained so the steep dives were too hard for them explaining the shallower attack runs
Major catch is 25mm cannons the Japanese used. The real life version was worse than the movie showed in every way possible. That flak was overkill considering the weapon being showcased.
@@williamt.sherman9841 well.... Hollywood is about entertainment. real doesn't always sell very well. And if not for the intensely Amplified graphics... we would have been in for another Pearl Harbor... which I never saw because we've heard it all before. People want to be entertained whether it's real or not. The moment you sit down in the cinema you're in for a fake experience it's just a matter of if you're going to be entertained by it or not.
William T. Sherman true, but the CGI in this movie is so “fake” looking that it’s kinda in your face with it. Like it’s hard not to constantly think about it.
I mean, the visuals are very unrealistic and "holywood-ish" but I loved the ambiance of the scenes. Very intense. Closing my eyes and imagining the scene with sound makes it very immersive.
Yes to visuals are a bit over-the-top but at the same time I really felt the intensity of those scenes. I watch movies in a premium theater only 40 seats with Dolby Atmos.... And Damn.. first time I saw it... I immediately bought a ticket to see it again right after
@@wescoleman6240 I know... some people are getting all pissed off that it's " unrealistic "... nitpicking the movie over every last detail and while they might be correct... the bottom line is it was a fun and entertaining movie that told a truly epic story ( unlike that dogshit called Avengers Endgame that was unbelievably slow-paced boring... and a total lie). The critics of this movie simply don't understand that these planes hardly exist anymore and if they do they'll be in a museum they are far too precious to be used in a reckless movie set.
Recently there has been a datamined map called "Pacific Ocean" which in theory oculd actually take place at Midway, further datamined information says that the map's available vehicles are amphibious tanks, PT boats and planes.
I liked the details like the bomber missing the target and when they have a torpedo hit on a Japanese boat but the torpedo is a dud and doesnt blow up. It's a reality of war that isn't often seen in films-- the heartbreak of missed opportunities in battle
What might have happened had we not broken their code? They would have kept kicking our butts for another 6-12 months....until production of all the superior equipment and training caught up with them. Would have been ugly....I think they would easily have overrun Midway and then attacked Hawaii...forcing the 3 American carriers into battle there and then their experience would prob have sunk our fleet All those experienced pilots would still be alive and that is very scary. The cream of the crop! We'd have won, no doubt...….but it would have been even bloodier
Better minds than mine point out that the real attack scenes didn't have so much traffic in them, but I still find the special effects here to be extraordinarily gripping. They give a sense of what it must have been like diving into a rising storm of AA flak and machine gun fire.
@Han Lockhart with how they have them sinking the carriers this way? No. They should try again, this time with a history book or better yet, with someone who actually has *actual* knowledge of the events of Midway, not 'it's a place that a thing happened in WW2 with people who shot at each other and there were planes and ships and 'splosions!"
Slayer 399 I know someone who was in the navy and he said it was pretty accurate for a Hollywood movie. Although of course they added some “entertainment”. And the main guy actually did survive all those dives and was rewarded for it (as shown in the movie)
I never saw Pro Harper and I think that's part of the problem. Pearl Harbor has been done over and over again so many times that people take low (if) any interest in it. I hesitated to see Midway here... usually I see every movie the date comes out. But when I saw the poster for Midway I was like okay just another war movie Pearl Harbor Style. Well.... well I was certainly cops by surprise blown out of my seat and continued to watch the movie until it stop playing. I probably saw at 8 times ( I don't always keep count)
Pearl Harbor (2001) is horrible in my opinion, It mostly focuses on some love story. Tora! Tora! Tora! is far better in terms of realism, acting, unbiased, and no cgi.
probably because they did not want to Mod it. This whole script revolves around Bombing 6 and Scouting 6. and only has a little bit of Torpedo 6. Fighting 6 did nothing at the battle of Midway other than defend Yorktown. Fighting 3 (from Yorktown) played a key role in the battle but no Yorktown groups are shown (other than a few dive bombers seen attacking Soryu from a distance.
Sir Illuminar The Valient : Yes, the rest of the F4Fs either failed to find the Japanese fleet (VF-8) or were at such high altitude over the enemy fleet that they couldn’t see the Zeros attacking the TBD Devastators far below (VF-6).
Actually the old videos of the pacific war shows ships shooting inmense walls of lead in hopes to have a lucky hit. Anti-aircraft guns of WWII lack a lot of precision unlike today's guns.
Yes and in addition aircraft carriers were relatively new and it was basically get in and do your best. Not like today where they’ve had years of training programs developed
V DOG the person in the movie did manage to hit two carriers in one day and survived the flak wall shown here. Good thing AA guns weren’t computer guided yet
@@alfredohernandez7486 The videos (shot by the US side)only show the Japanese attacking the US fleet and the USN had more AA guns with a much higher rate of fire. If there was a video of the US attacking the Japanese, the AA would be a LOT less. If you look at the photos of Yamato or other IJN ships under attack, there was almost no visible AA fire.
Those dive and torpedo bomber guys were the tip of the spear. A few brave men turned the tide of the war. About 40 years ago it was my privilege to meet one of them.
Yeah that was some pretty good dialogue… I am very pleased that they did not paint the Japanese in a negative light… The world has enough violence as it is without starting more hatred… But they don’t talk about is how horribly the Japanese were treated during World War II… I’ve seen documentaries about how they were rounded up in camps on the American mainland. No difference in concentration camps… Maybe they were being forced to work and all that shit but it was detainment nonetheless
F-ZERO Honestly, with the kind of stuff Japan was doing in Asia, they didn’t suffer enough in WWII and several criminals who killed millions escaped unscathed.
The scenes with the Japanese were very good, not many movies I've seen showed how much a division there was among the Japanese ranks about the conflict, showing they weren't just mindless soldiers marching off to war without question. While it was disgusting how the U.S. citizens were treated....Don't exaggerate, there is a very big difference between interning them in crappy conditions(while being a full violation of their rights) to a concentration camp that was actively designed to kill those it housed. If there was no difference I doubt units like the Purple Heart Brigade would have even existed. While I have no issue with the current Japanese people, the WWII Japanese is a different story, a lot of them did escape justice for their actions and compared to what happened the the Chinese population and pretty much every area they conquered, Japan's population got off easy and they recieved tremendous amount of support to rebuild...but to be fair, there was plently of U.S. soldiers who admitted they could have been put on war crimes themselves if the war had gone the other way. By that point the mentality was kill or be killed, and unfortunately that's what they had to have to defeat an enemy refusing to surrender.
@@braziliankaiser8304 just to tell you that. The Waffen SS are equally similar to the IJA (Imperial Japanese Army). The Wehrmacht is the equivalent of the IJN (Imperial Japanese Navy) this is because the IJA and IJN always have conflict between them just like the SS and the Wehrmacht. Also to makes thing clear. I don't mean there's no fanatics in the Wehrmacht and the IJN. There are but the numbers are relatively low. By low means probably a million.
Me too but there’s a lot of negativity on the movie from dry old man who want things to be “realistic” These people are fucking pathetic… They want everything to be realistic and I’m sick of Hearing their complaints about it… When I go to a movie I want to be entertained and I don’t give a fuck if it’s realistic or not… I don’t give a fuck if it’s historically accurate or not… I want to be entertained as most people do when they sit in the cinema… I like in these people to dry boring old people… With nothing better to do than be condescending or judge mental
F-ZERO if it’s based on a true story it should be realistic otherwise it’s insulting to the people in that story. Not all of them are dry old men btw. Yes there are pussies who want things to be perfect. I enjoy a good movie when I see one but I don’t bitch too much about realism. This is a historical movie based on the stories of real people. It should be accurate. But I don’t bitch too much about it nor should we forget the importance of historical accuracy in films.
So are you suggesting that a war is a good thing and we should send all our teenagers to likely death to toughen them up? I'm not sure about you but I personally believe people are better off alive than dead. I honestly don't get people like you who just moan 'reeeee teenagers bad' despite the fact that anyone under the age of 90, which I expect includes you, has had life that was no less easy than theirs. Out of curiosity what was the state of the world when you were 25? I ask because I am currently 25 and am willing to bet a lot of money that it's more fucked up now than when you were 25.
I've read books written by WW2 fighter pilots where they'd say things like, "the flak was so thick you could walk on it." Now I see what they mean after seeing some of this footage. Thanks for sharing F-ZERO
Right on… I wish the movie had Better marketing. It’s considered a flop but hopefully it will resurrect like other movies have after the true audience reaction comes out as it is now. A lot of people skip the movie thinking that it was going to be another pearl harbor type deal. This includes me I almost didn’t see the movie and when I did I was totally shocked
@@RAZR_Channel I havent seen it because there are no theaters where I live, so I'm waiting for my bluray to arrive any day now. I love a good film and really looking forward to seeing because of your clips and what you say. Thanks for sharing
I know… I was caught totally off guard when I saw in the theaters. I thought twice when I saw the poster I was thinking I was in for another Pearl Harbor but I went anyway and was shockingly and pleasantly surprised. I proceeded to watch it at least 5 to 7 more times until it left the theaters. I even found myself watching it in small theaters just so I could see it on the big screen before it left forever. I really feel like the marketing fucked up on this one. They put together a great script that was fast paced entertaining… It had the visuals for the people that are into that and the historical aspect was his contact and as accurate as I think they had time for. Marketing definitely feel them on this one
Well... about any historical subject... What to we really know about anything other than what we personally witness. I mean OJ Simpson... we still don't Really know what happened... we're pretty sure... but those that come after us will only know what is written... I like they didn't Bash the Japanese... Typically films like this demonize the enemy... here I saw a mutual respect... and if you've ever seen the veterans meet... they're not angry (some are) but for the most part not. And some will even admit... None of it was worth it...
As a Korean, I watched this movie 5 times in a theater. every single Imperial Japan's ship and plane is made up with stolen resource from us, also made by our grandparents who were forced to work. And those are all exploded. It's my most favorite movie.
The bomb release altitudes are horrifically wrong in this movie. I know it's for entertainment and it builds tension, but most dive bombers wanted to release around 3000 ft. The altitude was important because it allowed the bombs to penetrate the deck.
True and also you won’t recover from a dive from that kind of low altitude, you’ll just crash and the explosion from your own bomb would kill you, suffice to say no sane person would dive to that kind of low altitude
Saw this with about 8 of my friends in my home theater....the special effects were awesome...don't need to go to the movies anymore Just wait for it to come to dvd..invite several of your friends over to your home theater ..and enjoy...them we binged on Star Trek discovery season 2..what a blast..
Eduardo Ramos I don’t know why people are complaining about the special effect. I don’t really mind it. Also it’s not like they can make a complete restructure of the carriers or cruisers. I get how it can go over the top in a little places, but I could handle it.
@@americanseal7683 I guess because they figure unless you were there during the actual attack that it's not accurate...but I've spoken with several veterans who were and actually didn't mind and simply said that's Hollywood..there were also plenty of inconsistencies with pearl harbor the one with Ben Affleck..and people gave it praise..so I don't understand that either...oh well.
Aww… But still it was really good on the big screen especially if you’re sitting up close where it can get into your peripheral vision… I was hooked the first time I saw it and so it at least five times after
Just crazy how they fought back in WW2. If you compare this to the actual footage of battleship and carrier fights, its fairly accurate for a Hollywood production.
The after action reports from the morning attack showed little to no AA and no Zeros. This was due to all the attention given to the Americsn torpedo bombers. The afternoon attack had Zeros flying counter air biy were ineffective as the Japanese defense was overwhelmed by both five bombers as well as bombers flying from Midway.
At the time of a dive bomber attack the Zeros were on their carriers being rearmed. They had exhausted their limited ammunition load on the torpedo bombers.
@@jamesricker3997 no they always had to have zeros in protrction, when one zero group lands a new one has to take off and etc, the thing is, during the dive bombing attack all the zeros were drawed on american torpedo bombers and fighters at a other side of the fleet so there were no zeros overhead and japanese lost
@@ivangaming9368 ding ding ding ding ding!!! We got ourselves a winner!!! Finally someone who knows what they’re talking about. It’s simply mind boggling how much misinformation or straight up false information you find in the TH-cam comments. It’s nearly enough to make one pity cry.
@@maximilianodelrio It was there as flagship. But the carriers were in front of the battleships by a few hundred klicks and once the 4 carriers were lost, Yamamoto on the Yamato withdrew all the surface forces.
Isn’t “arial” a font, like helvetica? Aerial attack is something you do with planes, arial attack sounds incredibly nerdy , something that goes on at a newspaper or publisher... Lucky it didn’t say Ariel attack, couldn’t have watched a mermaid attack the japanese navy. Never mind, English isn’t my first language, so I probably could not spell it either at the first go.
Consider that for every tracer round you see, there's another 4 or 5 rounds coming with it, then consider how very many AA guns were being put to use. These men were flying into almost solid walls of lead and flak.
I can't imagine the two main things these brave men did during these horrible wars, from both sides. First off, the trauma they sustained and secondly, the huge balls they had. Imagine being on those planes being surrounded by heavy artillery and praying to God that none of those thousands of bullets not hitting you. And also being on those ships praying to God that none of those bombs hit your ship. Its insane honestly what those men lived through.
It doesn’t seem like a good tactic to fly information on attack. Perhaps on the way to target but not during the attack because it gives the defending gutters a more focused area to fire on. Perhaps They need to avoid hitting each other if they attacked from multiple factors but they are certainly making it more easy to shoot into a school of fish basically
My dad was a ww2 soldier and he managed to survive 100,281 bullets coming from his plane and he managed to bomb a aircraft carrier, My dad survived now hes a banker,Good dad.
I loved it... The dive bombing runs were INTENSE on the big screen. Saw it at least 5 times just for that. The script is fast paced and clean. I think the movie would have done a lot better if they done a better job in marketing. When people hear " A True Story " or " Based on a True Story "... many people think it will be boring. It would have been better if they had minimized the True Story aspect and pushed harder on the Action Movie aspect... Then at the end in the credits they could make a big deal about the True Story Aspect. Action movies simply sell better... and being true tops it off. All the actors did a great job. Maybe it won't be at the top of their acting career... but movies like this launch actors into better roles.
i think it was a bit too fast but what can they do to cover all these battles leading up to midway in 2 hours. i admire their effort to historical details.
@@MrRay168 yeah they also had a budget to work with so they couldn't fill in every Last Detail but they did Cover the major points and I thought it was a great watch
The shots are overly dramatic and the entire battle scene looks incredibly ridiculous for someone who studied naval history. The Pearl Harbor movie at least have the decency to not try to claim anything, this however is an insult to historical accuracy. I didn’t like Pearl Harbor but this almost made me vomit.
Why you mad bro'? No they did not. They sprinkle in some historical stuff so they can claim they’re trying their best. When in reality they are just using those as marketing tool and justification for the poor cinematography, whilst trying to fool the uninitiated. This fact is painfully obvious for anyone who studied naval history. I wouldn’t mind if they just go for the Michael Bay approach and say fuck historical accuracy we are here to see explosions, but no they just have to. Everyone in my group of naval enthusiasts hated it, I’m glad it bombed in box office. I hope I would never see such a disgrace again
Two of the best historic American event movies came out within months of eachother; Midway and Ford vs Ferrari. Also the yamato scene and the meeting between the Japanese army and navy scene were amazing in this movie.
One thing I do appreciate about this film is that they represented actual WW2 ships. If you take a look at Micheal Bay's Pearl Harbor, you see modern ships being bombed and aircraft taking off from modern carriers. Multi million dollar budget and he couldn't be bothered to at least CGI in some static WW2 Era ships.
Dauntlesses would never be anywhere near that close to one another during a dive bombing attack. They dived in single file. This movie lost me right there.
Nowadays you have to worry about other stuff like getting shot down hundreds of miles outside the combat zone. Or your named getting leaked and a nation states Cyber division taking personal interest in your family.
What people forget about is these WWII veterans who survived battles such as these returned home after the war and went back working their regular 9 to 5 jobs as teachers, bankers, mechanics, etc...

The torpedo planes did not really lure the cap (at least not the first 2 squadrons), they prevented the whole japanese fleet from emptying their decks and launching their attack which would have surely sent yorktown and maybe another ship to the bottom in the morning, moreover, the combined attack of yorktown and enterprise planes (which is not explained not told in the movie) did saturate the cap by presenting a simultaneous attack coming from different directions to an overburdened japanese air patrol which wasn't coordinated by radio nor had any radars to give some advance warnings. If the torpedo squadrons which sacrificed themselves had not showed up, the 10h20 morning attack may not have destroyed 3 carriers but merely damage them (even if heavily) or just put them out of the battle like the Shokaky at the battle of the coral sea. And of course the odds of 3 to 1 which the japanese faced in the afternoon would not have happened. The US navy had both a strategic advantage, more planes and luck on their side, but the japanese complacency before the battle also ensured they could not go out of that battle unscathed.
It takes absolute BALLS to dive into that gunfire. Absolute legends, all of 'em.
Yes, Steel Balls!

If anyone was wondering or doesn't know why the Dauntless' were flying so close together during the dive, it was due to miscommunications between squadron, as one group was to hit either the Kaga or Akagi, and another were to go for a different carrier, but instead they all went for the same target and ended up in that tight dive formation and nearly flew into each other.
That was the other carrier?
Best and some of his squadron went to bomb the "far carrier" which is the akagi because mclusky decided to bomb kaga instead of akagi

@@yello480 Not really? Best was going for Kaga and Mcclusky was to hit Akagi, but due to a miscommunication, both squadrons went for Kaga, hence why they were all bunched up. Best realized it last minute and switched targets. Learn to read
Either way they got the job done. 👍
Dauntlesses did not fly that close together in a dive. They had a lot more space between them, even at Midway.
Finally a movie who pay tribute to the brave dive bombers of ww2
Exactly.... those guys had some fucking nerve to be going straight at a Target with everyone on the ship trying to kill you. Makes Maverick in Top Gun look like a big-time pussy..
Um yeah. Try watching midway with Charlton Heston. Quite a few years ago
Sly Carl even more respect for the torpedo planes...
...."Finally" you say that as in it's the first movie ever in 2020
There's many films.
And you also forget about kamikaze (they were considered dive bombers)
*cries in respect*
Imagine all that luck of dodging those bullets just to miss the ship.
yeah crazy what can happen in movies right?
It looked nothing like this
While the Anti Aircraft is exaggerated here. Both in volume & number of hits. In real life Americans actually only lost one plane to Japane Anti Aircraft during the battle.
Yeah Japanese AA was shit
Imagine all the luck of dodging all that flak and then hitting the ship with a standard US Dud torpedo. They finally fixed the firing mechanism in 1943...
wait, a hollywood movie that doesn't add a stuka siren everytime a plane dives?
that's a advance
Stukas actually did have dive sirens

is it just me, or if you watch the second bombinb scene over a few dozen times, you just get the feeling the directors wanted to create the effect of a samurai warrior making a dedicated strike against an opponent. Full focus, full direction onto the target, but at the same time keeping his wits and courage with him, because he intends to strike not just crash into the deck, the warrior seeks ultimate victory with a perfect attack.
LT Best was credited with the first hit on the Hiryu and the sinking of the Kaga. He is the only pilot that received credited for hitting both carriers that day that the Enterprise attacked. McCluksky was in surgery for the second one getting his shoulder repaired. Also the scene were they threw the gunner and pilot overboard attached to the anchor actually happened. It was confirmed after the war by reading the after action report of the ship involved were they stated recovered American dive bomber crew in occurrence with standing fleet orders crew was executed by standard means.
I really love the scene where the Rear Admiral Yamaguchi dismisses his crew and stays aboard his agonizing ship. He seems so paternal, so quiet, so proud...
Rear admiral* admiral and rear admiral are different ranks
"fleet admiral Nagumo you incompetent piece of shit!"
-grand admiral Yamamoto probably after the total obliteration of Kido Butai
Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi. The scene of the crew gathered on the deck as Hiryu sinks is, in fact, reality. Many officers cried as Yamaguchi vowed to stay with the ship, because he was like a father figure to many of them.
A great commander and a good man, just one stuck on the wrong side of the war.
It’s an honor thing plus as they say…the captain always goes down with the ship.
@@murkywateradminssions5219 Nagumo avoided blame for Midway and remained in command of Kido Butai through the remaining carrier battles in 1942.
that was only tragic for me.
my grand father was on the ship.
but,I never hate America.
together,we will make a peace!
Sorry. I'm not from North America but I regret you lost your father. War is horrible, the worst human activity.
I hate war, it's Ok tho man, because someday you'll be reunited with your grand father in heaven ❤️
Which ship was he on, exactly?
The Ugly Barnacle the one under the Pacific Ocean lol
No he was not.
Respect for Yamato lasting longer than an entire fleet
Yamato wasnt here. It was hundreds of miles or kms away from kido butai
Honestly she was a waste of good metal. The IJN could’ve produced at least 50 to 100 planes with that amount of steel. Geez 🤦♂️
Ian W. Toll's Pacific War series really goes into detail as to how friggin difficult it was for dive bombers. I feel like this movie really does justice to the immense skill and bravery that these men demonstrated, flying into walls of shrapnel. The one thing I wish the movie did was to use multicolored bursts for the flak, which is what the Japanese did historically. Different colors were used for different altitudes so as to help with their aim.
Part of me wonders if it was intentional. I remember people dragging Fury for having the tanks shoot "lasers," without knowing what tracer rounds were, haha.
@@AntonymLowe I bet they'd hate an accurate movie about the Pacific naval war then considering the Japanese also used coloured shell dyes for their guns so they could tell which shots belonged to which ship.
I like his books, too. You can tell the movie used his books a lot for references. I remember reading about Gaido shooting the bomber with the SBD's MG and the weather during Doolittle raid being stormy, the wind being around 37 knots, from Toll's book. When they show it in the movie, i'm actually impressed they went this far.
Something I like about this movie is how the action sequences are slower pace unlike many other recent games and movies where it is so fast pace that it becomes ridiculous
Actually I consider the movie rather fast-paced except the last 20% where it's winding down. They had a lot of Story to Tell in a 2 hour time slot.
LOL...some of those dives lasted 30 minutes it seemed....I loved the movie
F-ZERO ZERO I was referring to the action sequences. Compared to the stuff you see in Michael Bay’s films or the BF V trailers where you see people just rushing into bullet storms and explosions for no other purpose than to create a sense of intensity this one was refreshing because it felt more normal and realistic.
This scene is a good example you see the dive bombers begin their dive and the AAA coming at them but you don’t see them making wild and crazy and unrealistic maneuvers, to me it felt so realistic that It actually reminded me of the WW2 documentaries I used to watch in the History Channel when I was a child.
are you serious?? this was slow paced? this was not realistic at all man. this is pure cartoon.
@@jp-sn6si I mean compared to the stuff you see in Michael Bay’s films or the BF V trailers to name a few, yeah pretty slow pace and I really like it.
Reminds me of the WW2 documentaries I used to watch in the History Channel when I was a child.
Yes, it's over the top Hollywood, but imagine being 20 years old and flying into that shit storm, then pushing that stick forward and dive towards an almost certain death hoping you can score a hit and pull up in time. No joke.
Its exagerated on how low the planes drop the bombs. The role of the dive bomber was to fly as high as possible and use the air brakes to precisely drop the bombs from an high altitude (1500 meteres to 3500 meteres) to avoid being destroyed by flaks or airplanes. Hell the planes in this scene were not even affected by air drag, you can pull up your airplane but depending on your speed it will take a few secs(its a lot when flying a plane) just for your plane to reorientate, and the heavier the mass the worst it gets.
@@sergeeduardodegernier5195 not to mention the fact that the light AA rounds seem to be exploding at increasingly lower altitudes as the planes dive. That wouldn't happen as they had to be set to explode at a certain altitude before firing. It would be impossible to tailor the detonation time to the height of a rapidly diving aircraft.
Darn sight easier to hit a long narrow target if you bomb down it , not across it. If attacking from the stern then the ships movement slightly reduces the speed differential giving a couple of seconds more aiming time.
@@DieyoungDiefast jackass watch the movie or at least learn the history. Some of the pilots were inexperienced / under trained so the steep dives were too hard for them explaining the shallower attack runs
Major catch is 25mm cannons the Japanese used. The real life version was worse than the movie showed in every way possible. That flak was overkill considering the weapon being showcased.
i cant watch this movie without tearing up constantly
with Pearl Harbor in the beginning its just so much emotion in this movie
the fact that people actually went through this is just insane
Insanity was part of those times. People around the world ... killing each other over stories on radio broadcasts. and it's still going on today...
Exactly. This looks apocalyptic. Crazy to think that it all actually happened
I agree on this but the damn cowgirls burn it LFG... EAGLES !!!
And it wasn't that long ago in the scheme of things
What’s sad is it’s still happening today. Wars being fought and people dying for literally nothing.
Problem with special computer effects is that is very easy to overdo it which causes lack of credibility
the problem is programmers think "more is better" when "real is better" you can make Good CGI that looks real but you can't "Michael Bay" the job.
@@williamt.sherman9841 well.... Hollywood is about entertainment. real doesn't always sell very well. And if not for the intensely Amplified graphics... we would have been in for another Pearl Harbor... which I never saw because we've heard it all before. People want to be entertained whether it's real or not. The moment you sit down in the cinema you're in for a fake experience it's just a matter of if you're going to be entertained by it or not.
William T. Sherman true, but the CGI in this movie is so “fake” looking that it’s kinda in your face with it. Like it’s hard not to constantly think about it.
Idk... doesn't bother me. I always wanted a WW2 movie with the kind of CGI a modern sci-fi movie has
Arthur Bobrovsky and Dunkirk
I mean, the visuals are very unrealistic and "holywood-ish" but I loved the ambiance of the scenes. Very intense. Closing my eyes and imagining the scene with sound makes it very immersive.
I honestly don’t mind the CGI as most WW2 vehicles no longer exist and with CGI you can make accurate models of the real thing on a large scale.
Yes to visuals are a bit over-the-top but at the same time I really felt the intensity of those scenes. I watch movies in a premium theater only 40 seats with Dolby Atmos.... And Damn.. first time I saw it... I immediately bought a ticket to see it again right after
@@wescoleman6240 I know... some people are getting all pissed off that it's " unrealistic "... nitpicking the movie over every last detail and while they might be correct... the bottom line is it was a fun and entertaining movie that told a truly epic story ( unlike that dogshit called Avengers Endgame that was unbelievably slow-paced boring... and a total lie). The critics of this movie simply don't understand that these planes hardly exist anymore and if they do they'll be in a museum they are far too precious to be used in a reckless movie set.
@@RAZR_Channel I mostly agree, it's a movie and not a documentary. It is meant to be visually stunning.

Battle of Midway - the beginning of Imperial Japans destruction
yeah they really fucked up... overly ambitious and arrogant.
F-ZERO agreed
Just Latvian. The Japanese got their revenge sadly, on the night of Nov.,14, 1942 in the waters off Guadalcanal in The Battle Of Iron Bottom Sound.
What might have happened had we not broken their code? They would have kept kicking our butts for another 6-12 months....until production of all the superior equipment and training caught up with them. Would have been ugly....I think they would easily have overrun Midway and then attacked Hawaii...forcing the 3 American carriers into battle there and then their experience would prob have sunk our fleet
All those experienced pilots would still be alive and that is very scary. The cream of the crop!
We'd have won, no doubt...….but it would have been even bloodier
Sabrecat Smiladon if they weren’t tied up fighting China it would have been really bad

Better minds than mine point out that the real attack scenes didn't have so much traffic in them, but I still find the special effects here to be extraordinarily gripping. They give a sense of what it must have been like diving into a rising storm of AA flak and machine gun fire.

Complete with all the glitches.
well it *is* a trailer for ww2 video game as it is *not* accurate for the events of midway and especially not sinking the carriers here.
@Han Lockhart with how they have them sinking the carriers this way? No. They should try again, this time with a history book or better yet, with someone who actually has *actual* knowledge of the events of Midway, not 'it's a place that a thing happened in WW2 with people who shot at each other and there were planes and ships and 'splosions!"
Slayer 399 I know someone who was in the navy and he said it was pretty accurate for a Hollywood movie. Although of course they added some “entertainment”. And the main guy actually did survive all those dives and was rewarded for it (as shown in the movie)
Emmerich really does love putting his Independence Day style fighting into a WWII movie too
Best fighting footage of any war movie in the history of Hollywood! The music was brilliant!
ya I fuckin love it... saw it more than 10 times in the theater... it was a Big Screen Film for sure...
I saw this in cinemas, way better then the 2001 Pearl Harbour.
way better
Muuuuuch better👍👍
Agree
I never saw Pro Harper and I think that's part of the problem. Pearl Harbor has been done over and over again so many times that people take low (if) any interest in it. I hesitated to see Midway here... usually I see every movie the date comes out. But when I saw the poster for Midway I was like okay just another war movie Pearl Harbor Style. Well.... well I was certainly cops by surprise blown out of my seat and continued to watch the movie until it stop playing. I probably saw at 8 times ( I don't always keep count)
Pearl Harbor (2001) is horrible in my opinion, It mostly focuses on some love story. Tora! Tora! Tora! is far better in terms of realism, acting, unbiased, and no cgi.
I wonder why they didn't include f4f wildcat in there?
probably because they did not want to Mod it. This whole script revolves around Bombing 6 and Scouting 6. and only has a little bit of Torpedo 6. Fighting 6 did nothing at the battle of Midway other than defend Yorktown. Fighting 3 (from Yorktown) played a key role in the battle but no Yorktown groups are shown (other than a few dive bombers seen attacking Soryu from a distance.
Bernard Rednix only about 6 of them in the actual battle did anything
Thank you for saying that. I was gonna say wheres the fighter plane escorts
Sir Illuminar The Valient : Yes, the rest of the F4Fs either failed to find the Japanese fleet (VF-8) or were at such high altitude over the enemy fleet that they couldn’t see the Zeros attacking the TBD Devastators far below (VF-6).
That;s why i wonder why those bombers were not accompanied by the fighters

Magically evading endless showers of lead for cinematic results, I love it.
Actually the old videos of the pacific war shows ships shooting inmense walls of lead in hopes to have a lucky hit. Anti-aircraft guns of WWII lack a lot of precision unlike today's guns.
Well it was certainly entertaining to watch… And evidently has my vote
Yes and in addition aircraft carriers were relatively new and it was basically get in and do your best. Not like today where they’ve had years of training programs developed
V DOG the person in the movie did manage to hit two carriers in one day and survived the flak wall shown here. Good thing AA guns weren’t computer guided yet
@@alfredohernandez7486 The videos (shot by the US side)only show the Japanese attacking the US fleet and the USN had more AA guns with a much higher rate of fire. If there was a video of the US attacking the Japanese, the AA would be a LOT less. If you look at the photos of Yamato or other IJN ships under attack, there was almost no visible AA fire.
Those dive and torpedo bomber guys were the tip of the spear. A few brave men turned the tide of the war. About 40 years ago it was my privilege to meet one of them.
Another terrible thing these guys went through was losing friends. My dad was named for a soldier my USAAF B-17 radioman grandfather served with.
What I like about this movie, was the Japanese act Everytime they have screentime they stole the movie, at least for me
Yeah that was some pretty good dialogue… I am very pleased that they did not paint the Japanese in a negative light… The world has enough violence as it is without starting more hatred…
But they don’t talk about is how horribly the Japanese were treated during World War II… I’ve seen documentaries about how they were rounded up in camps on the American mainland. No difference in concentration camps… Maybe they were being forced to work and all that shit but it was detainment nonetheless
F-ZERO Honestly, with the kind of stuff Japan was doing in Asia, they didn’t suffer enough in WWII and several criminals who killed millions escaped unscathed.
The scenes with the Japanese were very good, not many movies I've seen showed how much a division there was among the Japanese ranks about the conflict, showing they weren't just mindless soldiers marching off to war without question.
While it was disgusting how the U.S. citizens were treated....Don't exaggerate, there is a very big difference between interning them in crappy conditions(while being a full violation of their rights) to a concentration camp that was actively designed to kill those it housed. If there was no difference I doubt units like the Purple Heart Brigade would have even existed.
While I have no issue with the current Japanese people, the WWII Japanese is a different story, a lot of them did escape justice for their actions and compared to what happened the the Chinese population and pretty much every area they conquered, Japan's population got off easy and they recieved tremendous amount of support to rebuild...but to be fair, there was plently of U.S. soldiers who admitted they could have been put on war crimes themselves if the war had gone the other way. By that point the mentality was kill or be killed, and unfortunately that's what they had to have to defeat an enemy refusing to surrender.
@@braziliankaiser8304 just to tell you that. The Waffen SS are equally similar to the IJA (Imperial Japanese Army). The Wehrmacht is the equivalent of the IJN (Imperial Japanese Navy) this is because the IJA and IJN always have conflict between them just like the SS and the Wehrmacht. Also to makes thing clear. I don't mean there's no fanatics in the Wehrmacht and the IJN. There are but the numbers are relatively low. By low means probably a million.
That was until some scenes they had to put in China then China was all like “portray them bad because they’re bad, thank you”
Hope the sequel of this, is called "Battle of Leyte Gulf." The biggest Naval battle in modern era.
Me too but there’s a lot of negativity on the movie from dry old man who want things to be “realistic”
These people are fucking pathetic… They want everything to be realistic and I’m sick of Hearing their complaints about it…

Right on… I wish the movie had Better marketing. It’s considered a flop but hopefully it will resurrect like other movies have after the true audience reaction comes out as it is now. A lot of people skip the movie thinking that it was going to be another pearl harbor type deal. This includes me I almost didn’t see the movie and when I did I was totally shocked

I know… I was caught totally off guard when I saw in the theaters. I thought twice when I saw the poster I was thinking I was in for another Pearl Harbor but I went anyway and was shockingly and pleasantly surprised. I proceeded to watch it at least 5 to 7 more times until it left the theaters. I even found myself watching it in small theaters just so I could see it on the big screen before it left forever.
I really feel like the marketing fucked up on this one. They put together a great script that was fast paced entertaining… It had the visuals for the people that are into that and the historical aspect was his contact and as accurate as I think they had time for.
Marketing definitely feel them on this one
F-ZERO did u notice they took scenes out of the movie? As weeks passed in theaters, they deleted scenes
To the people complaining, this film is mostly historically accurate

Planes: are directly above
AAA: firing at a 45 degree angle
Me: ok....
Also no one intentionally pulls out of a dive that low
no wonder they lost there carrier
As a Korean, I watched this movie 5 times in a theater. every single Imperial Japan's ship and plane is made up with stolen resource from us, also made by our grandparents who were forced to work. And those are all exploded. It's my most favorite movie.
The bomb release altitudes are horrifically wrong in this movie. I know it's for entertainment and it builds tension, but most dive bombers wanted to release around 3000 ft. The altitude was important because it allowed the bombs to penetrate the deck.
True and also you won’t recover from a dive from that kind of low altitude, you’ll just crash and the explosion from your own bomb would kill you, suffice to say no sane person would dive to that kind of low altitude
@@sernwuub4014 and even if u were able to pull up from that altitude you’ll Just pass out from the G forces

Eduardo Ramos I don’t know why people are complaining about the special effect. I don’t really mind it. Also it’s not like they can make a complete restructure of the carriers or cruisers. I get how it can go over the top in a little places, but I could handle it.
@@americanseal7683 I guess because they figure unless you were there during the actual attack that it's not accurate...but I've spoken with several veterans who were and actually didn't mind and simply said that's Hollywood..there were also plenty of inconsistencies with pearl harbor the one with Ben Affleck..and people gave it praise..so I don't understand that either...oh well.
Aww… But still it was really good on the big screen especially if you’re sitting up close where it can get into your peripheral vision…
I was hooked the first time I saw it and so it at least five times after
Just crazy how they fought back in WW2.
If you compare this to the actual footage of battleship and carrier fights, its fairly accurate for a Hollywood production.

この頃は、まだ日本軍の方が対空装備は多かったと思うけど。
そこら辺本当はどうなんだろう。
盲目的に全ての面でアメリカ軍が優れていて、日本軍の装備は近代兵器のない骨董品レベルだったとか意味不明なことをほざくおかしな人が結構居たりするから、アメリカ軍の方が優れていたと聞いても本当かどうか疑ってしまう。
The after action reports from the morning attack showed little to no AA and no Zeros. This was due to all the attention given to the Americsn torpedo bombers. The afternoon attack had Zeros flying counter air biy were ineffective as the Japanese defense was overwhelmed by both five bombers as well as bombers flying from Midway.
At the time of a dive bomber attack the Zeros were on their carriers being rearmed. They had exhausted their limited ammunition load on the torpedo bombers.
The dive depicting zeros flying CAP is the one targetting Hiryuu after Bombing Six and remaining units returned to rearm.
@@jamesricker3997 no they always had to have zeros in protrction, when one zero group lands a new one has to take off and etc, the thing is, during the dive bombing attack all the zeros were drawed on american torpedo bombers and fighters at a other side of the fleet so there were no zeros overhead and japanese lost
@@ivangaming9368 ding ding ding ding ding!!! We got ourselves a winner!!! Finally someone who knows what they’re talking about. It’s simply mind boggling how much misinformation or straight up false information you find in the TH-cam comments. It’s nearly enough to make one pity cry.
Went to see the original version as a teen, loved it, one of the Japanese commanders was Mr. Miogi from Karate Kid.
I must admit that this is some pretty damn good video game graphics.
This trailer of Battlestations Pacífic remake look so good!
I loved all the Yamato scenes they makes the ship seem so bad ass and cool
Yamato? I haven’t watched the movie but I’m pretty sure that the Yamato wasn’t on Midway
@@maximilianodelrio not in battle just in planing scene or extra scene
just in case to show Isoroku Yamamoto talking and planing
@@maximilianodelrio It was there as flagship. But the carriers were in front of the battleships by a few hundred klicks and once the 4 carriers were lost, Yamamoto on the Yamato withdrew all the surface forces.
Maximiliano del Río it appears a couple times stationary and at sea it looks like a true monster
even though it was shit
Вечная память героям тех времён.
В наше время герои - Українці, котрі сражаются с фашисткой чумой !
The movie is very historically accurate. The battles were that fierce. Look it up!
Indeed they are. Midway battle dured Just 5 minutes, But under these condition, Just a minute feels like a Eternity
Isn’t “arial” a font, like helvetica? Aerial attack is something you do with planes, arial attack sounds incredibly nerdy , something that goes on at a newspaper or publisher...
Lucky it didn’t say Ariel attack, couldn’t have watched a mermaid attack the japanese navy.
Never mind, English isn’t my first language, so I probably could not spell it either at the first go.
悔しくて途中までしか見れない…
lololol
This is the craziest and the bravest thing a man can do in his life . I've almost shit my pants and I even haven't been there .
Awesome video. Bravo!
This is Hollywood. Damn the accuracy, full speed ahead!
いろいろ史実と違うとこあるけど、迫力あってかっこいいっすねぇ〜
Consider that for every tracer round you see, there's another 4 or 5 rounds coming with it, then consider how very many AA guns were being put to use. These men were flying into almost solid walls of lead and flak.
Amazing aerial view..
Nice movie.. giving heart tension rises
5:33
Very cinematic, I love it, shows the passion of the sacrifices of WWII Veterans
4:37 Behold the Yamato, the most useless thing on the planet according to the Japanese soldiers
Yeah… It was more of an icon and a trophy than anything else
The sailors on it called it hotel yamato
The Bismark was much better.
And effective.
@@LCOfficerUNIT097 Ark Royal: I'm about to end this woman's whole career
It’s Yamato but the dis not do it right it’s musashi
I can't imagine the two main things these brave men did during these horrible wars, from both sides. First off, the trauma they sustained and secondly, the huge balls they had.
Imagine being on those planes being surrounded by heavy artillery and praying to God that none of those thousands of bullets not hitting you. And also being on those ships praying to God that none of those bombs hit your ship.
Its insane honestly what those men lived through.
No one like to talk about what war really is... it's bad business for the military contractors...
When I went to see this when it was being shown I knew who was gonna win but was on edge the full time
Damn those dauntlesses were way too close to each other
It doesn’t seem like a good tactic to fly information on attack. Perhaps on the way to target but not during the attack because it gives the defending gutters a more focused area to fire on.
Perhaps They need to avoid hitting each other if they attacked from multiple factors but they are certainly making it more easy to shoot into a school of fish basically
The true art of war where everything runs manually
Unsurprising why “COD Vanguard” ripped off a mission directly from this.
This is how I feel when I have a lot of war toys when I was a kid
雷撃隊の囮が無ければ、急降下爆撃は成功しなかった・・全滅したデバステーターの雷撃隊に合掌
あなたは正しいです
Now this is what I'm talking about!
Exactly… I want intense action and a lot of it. I don’t want a history lesson
@@RAZR_Channel Me too, I came to the movies to have fun and enjoy it, not to pull out a textbook and start writing down things I already know.
My dad was a ww2 soldier and he managed to survive 100,281 bullets coming from his plane and he managed to bomb a aircraft carrier, My dad survived now hes a banker,Good dad.
I love how devastating the sbd3 is
I loved it... The dive bombing runs were INTENSE on the big screen. Saw it at least 5 times just for that. The script is fast paced and clean. I think the movie would have done a lot better if they done a better job in marketing. When people hear " A True Story " or " Based on a True Story "... many people think it will be boring. It would have been better if they had minimized the True Story aspect and pushed harder on the Action Movie aspect... Then at the end in the credits they could make a big deal about the True Story Aspect. Action movies simply sell better... and being true tops it off. All the actors did a great job. Maybe it won't be at the top of their acting career... but movies like this launch actors into better roles.
i think it was a bit too fast but what can they do to cover all these battles leading up to midway in 2 hours. i admire their effort to historical details.
@@MrRay168 yeah they also had a budget to work with so they couldn't fill in every Last Detail but they did Cover the major points and I thought it was a great watch
Hey dude where you downloaded it to do it myself too?
I just loved that movie and I want it.
@@RAZR_Channel I agree with u
First movie in many years that I watched twice in theater.
This movie was literally everything Pearl Harbor should have been.
Since Michael Bay wasn't listening to his history teacher, he didn't make a good movie
The shots are overly dramatic and the entire battle scene looks incredibly ridiculous for someone who studied naval history.
The Pearl Harbor movie at least have the decency to not try to claim anything, this however is an insult to historical accuracy. I didn’t like Pearl Harbor but this almost made me vomit.
Really? I thought it was exactly what 'Pearl Harbor' was. And this isn't a compliment.
Graff_Zitel It’s a movie not a documentary, what did you expect? Atleast they had the decency to make it as accurate as they can
Why you mad bro'?
No they did not. They sprinkle in some historical stuff so they can claim they’re trying their best. When in reality they are just using those as marketing tool and justification for the poor cinematography, whilst trying to fool the uninitiated. This fact is painfully obvious for anyone who studied naval history. I wouldn’t mind if they just go for the Michael Bay approach and say fuck historical accuracy we are here to see explosions, but no they just have to.
Everyone in my group of naval enthusiasts hated it, I’m glad it bombed in box office. I hope I would never see such a disgrace again
I freaking love this movie ❤❤❤❤❤
Two of the best historic American event movies came out within months of eachother; Midway and Ford vs Ferrari.
Also the yamato scene and the meeting between the Japanese army and navy scene were amazing in this movie.
One thing I do appreciate about this film is that they represented actual WW2 ships.
If you take a look at Micheal Bay's Pearl Harbor, you see modern ships being bombed and aircraft taking off from modern carriers. Multi million dollar budget and he couldn't be bothered to at least CGI in some static WW2 Era ships.
dude you are clearly delusional. you just don't know what the actual ships looked like
Dauntlesses would never be anywhere near that close to one another during a dive bombing attack. They dived in single file. This movie lost me right there.
This movie lost me when the japanese launched torpedoes while coming from the stern of the US battleships instead of coming from their side.
And nowadays you just click a button to instantly target a ship. Without needing to do all of this
Nowadays you have to worry about other stuff like getting shot down hundreds of miles outside the combat zone. Or your named getting leaked and a nation states Cyber division taking personal interest in your family.
@@darkjill2007 getting nuked aswell
Great video
