As a military veteran, I was looking forward to a good war movie this Veterans Day weekend. A few of the trailers for director Roland Emmerich’s “Midway” sported some of the most impressive visuals I’ve seen in quite some time, but that wasn’t much of surprise. After all, this is the same man who brought us spectacle-laden films like “Independence Day” (1996) and “The Day After Tomorrow” (2004). However, I was cautiously optimistic. I hoped that it wouldn’t be a cornball fest like Michael Bay’s “Pearl Harbor” (2001) or the original “Midway” effort from 1976. It wasn’t.
