Box Office Flop or Blockbuster 2020? - Midway


Another weekend, another war movie, how does Midway measure up compared to the award winning darling 1917? Also my question for all 2020 films Box Office Flop or Blockbuster?

Midway is a very different film to 1917, from a single shot (sort of) WWI film, to an action packed WWII film with loads of stars from both the big screen and small screen.

Flop or Blockbuster? Well it has eclipsed it's $100M budget, which really is a decent effort for a January film. As yet again critics are being a little harsh on Midway.



My thoughts? Well I really enjoyed it, it was action packed, star studded and the battles were so well done. Pearl Harbour was first then the battle of Midway towards the end.

It's very hard to think about a battle of this scale, the Japanese seemed so prepared, whereas the Americans seemed so shocked by the force of the Japanese fighter planes.

The cast is super diverse from music stars Nick Jonas and Darren Criss to major movie stars like Patrick Wilson, Aaron Eckhart, Dennis Quaid and Woody Harrelson. Even Mandy Moore gets a look in!

Yes Midway is jam packed with everyone from teen idols to seasoned professionals.

Look this isn't going to win any awards as it was released in the US last November, however I give it a solid 3 stars.
