The original was good Hal Holbrooke played the intelligence officer who de-coded the Midway plans of the Japanese

I do not believe today's actors can address the issues in the film in the way it was made in the original. None of the actors were alive during WWII, while in the original movie, several actually served in combat.

Dennis Quaid and Woody Harrelson too. Looking forward to it. By the way, my grandfather served on the U.S.S. Midway following the war in the Atlantic Fleet...

Hope this one isn't a love story like Pear Harbor with Ben Affleck was.

It may be a good movie, but I saw the original in the theater when it came out and many times since then, and it will be tough to beat that one. Regardless of how good it ends up being, it's just another example of Hollywood being unable to come up with an original idea.

I have hope it will be better than, or at least as good as, the original. Heck, while different genres, the modern True Grit is way better than its original. We'll see.

Hollywood can't come up with anything New on their own they are Re-making everything!
I don't support them or any of the so called "Stars" and I'm not interested in reruns..

Will be a challenge for sure, the original cast had the fresh emotions from living thru that time, whether they served or not. I will watch it when it comes out tho.

Trailer looks good and I will most likely watch it. Another fan of the original here too, so we shall see how it compares.

I was really hoping this movie would be like a huge summertime blockbuster with great action, graphics, and acting. I got excited until i saw that Dennis Quaid was in it. He's a decent actor and all, but it just seems that every movie he acts in turns out to be a B-Grade, popcorn flick, movie at best, and I am hoping for so much more out of this one. Who knows, hopefully its Grade A movie making and we all love it.
