Rating: B- --
There are few surprises here, yet the feature remains dependably engaging and charmingly acted, helping the production hurdle a few questionable artistic choices as it attempts to resurrect history over 30 years after the fact.

[Midway] builds up a lot of tension about that battle, but delivers nothing new.

Los Angeles Free Press
The script is confusing and messy, with attention exclusively paid to the strategic problems of both sides, and its development is crude, dry, and boring. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rating: 2.5/4 --
War movies used to have dash and color and a certain corny sentimentality; Midway hardly even makes us care.

Rating: 4/5 --
has the decency to devote the majority of the film to the actual events, and not get bogged down in a fictitious, smarmy love affair.

To make an uninvolving movie out of one of the most decisive battles of the Second World War may seem a dubious challenge, but there's no denying Universal their full credit in meeting it.
