Superhero action will not be a feature of Midway. Dramatic explosions, unusual camera angles, and thrilling aerial maneuvers and combat are more what I have in mind. Hollywood knows that such sequences have appeal that transcend language and cultural barriers. And seeing Americans clobber the Japanese will be especially satisfying to the several billion people in Asia who have dismal cultural memories of Japanese conduct during WW II. Contrary to what many Americans are taught to assume, most people around the world like and admire us.

That is my general assumption. That there would be no 'superhero non-realist' action. However, I have noticed in some movies of 'regular humans' used CGI having them jump impossible jumps, fight impossible fights, etc. I am just sounding off a pet peeve. Wishing movies would showing real human heroics, limitations, and how they deal with situations. Like I said, just sounding off. Between the PC propaganda and the impossible scenes makes me weary of new ones. Sort of makes me sound like a stick in the mud I guess. But I really do love movies of nearly all kinds. Big movie buff*. I am actually looking forward to going to see Midway. I saw it advertised on television the other day. And really caught my eye.
