El Nuevo Herald (Miami)

Rene Jordan

A project in which it's planning is excellent, but in the big screen doesn't work. [Full review in Spanish]

It's typical screenwriting-by-computer stuff.

Los Angeles Free Press

Doug Molitor

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

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]

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.
