DVD Reviews of Midway (Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: A Flawed Classic & a Sentimental Favorite
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll start by saying I TOTALLY agree with my fellow reviewers regarding the use of recycled footage from Tora,Tora,Tora! & other WW II movies, footage of aircraft & ships either not present at Midway or not even in service until well after the battle as well as the incomplete feeling you get watching the film without the Coral Sea scenes.
I first saw this movie during it's 1976 theatrical release as a 9-year old & as flawed as it is Midway is the movie that inspired my interest in WW II, military & naval avation of 1914-45 & history in general so for that I'm grateful. I'll simply add that this movie needs to be reissued in a restored edition to reflect the original release......even the dopey scenes with Matt Garth's girlfriend!

DVD Review: MIDWAY
Summary: 5 Stars
I use to watch this movie as many times as I could when it showed on AMC. Having the DVD lets me enjoy the movie when I want to. Having seen the movie made stopping at Midway and other locations while on tour in the Pacific all the more special. Semper Fi... DVD Review: Battle of Midway
Summary: 4 Stars
This film is a great depiction of both sides of the battle of Midway. It has a great cast (I was surprised to see a few actors) and some actual footage of the War of the Pacific. The storyline was a bit slow for me and I wish they put in the scenes that were for the T.V. version. All in all a great film to remind us of the world's most devastating war. DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Movie that I have always enjoyed, and this time get it at a bargain price and high quality.DVD Review: Terribly Dissappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I had watched this version when I first got it but must have missed the missing Coral Sea parts for some reason. It jumps from the scene where Rochfort has told Garth about Operation AF (Coral Sea) to where they are telling Rochfort that they had a rough time at the battle!
Some really great scenes are missing in this verison. Hope that they release a full version sometime soon. Its a shame that this movie was so downgraded from the original.
Bottom line: dont waste your money. Wait, wait, wait for them to put out the Full "Real" Collector's Edition.
I note that the "added for TV" scenes seem to be more personal and probably added for the ladies but weren't they in the theater version too? I seem to remember seeing the scene with Garth and his girlfriend talking at their apartment before he leaves in theater. Perhaps age is starting to show ... in me! :)
Description of Midway (Collector's Edition)
Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 09/02/2003 Run time: 132 minutes Rating: PgSix months after the Japanese destroyed the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, the Americans discovered the Japanese were planning to seize the Naval base at Midway Island--a perfect staging point for invading Hawaii or the mainland. Outnumbered four to one, the Americans won a surprise victory and shattered the backbone of the Japanese Imperial Navy. This 1976 film feels more like a history lesson than a drama, but World War?II buffs will appreciate the attention to historical fact (especially the way in which fate and a few bad decisions turned the tide), as well as the generous use of actual battle footage. The all-star cast includes Robert Mitchum, James Coburn, and Cliff Robertson in cameos and a whole slew of familiar TV faces in supporting roles. Hal Holbrook is fun as an oddball intelligence officer. --Geof Miller
