Not realistic enough

Rating: 4/10 (17 November 2014)

I enjoyed the movie but I must say the attention to detail was limited. I saw interviews with Bradmeister and the director who stressed this was one of the most accurate movies and they went to great lengths to make it accurate. (facepalm) No. No. No.
Call me a nitpicker, but if you are going to get things right in a movie and spend tens of millions of dollars you damn well better get crap right the first time around. Yes, I'm not easy to please. I have a lot of attention to detail and when people screw up during the making of a movie I see it.
There are countless, and I mean hundreds of errors in this movie, some small, some big, some are visual errors, some aren't worth sharing with others who don't care for the attention to detail. Most of all, the continuity errors bother me, along with factual errors. I understand artistic license, but you must make a commitment to either making the best movie possible or you are selling the viewer an incomplete product.
The acting was good. The action was good. The special effects were good. The scenery was good. There even was one scene which made me jump in my seat (a very rare occurrence). So I did enjoy the movie.
(spoiler) I'll give you one example of what bothers me.
At the very end of the movie there is this long drawn out shot from the tank called Fury. It is directly above and it has this perfect music playing to set the mood. As you pull out from the top of the tank, you start to see the damage the US tank crew did to the Germans. Dead bodies are every where. I mean sixty or seventy dead.
But as you get all the way out you see the road is perfectly clean of any bodies. I know many would say that the US troops coming by cleared them out, but they wouldn't and they didn't. They would have just gone over them with their trucks.
You also don't see clumps of Germans which indicate the US troops did not move them. The bodies are perfectly laid out and in positions to indicate the fighting.
Remember the dead German body which every one was running over in the middle of the movie. The body had been run over so many times that it was actually liquefied, only a small hand remained. No one cared. Besides, SS troops were the most hated right? I mean the movie projects that not only from the Fury tank. It was from the others too, but I also know the the SS were complete douche-bags and I have seen interviews with WWII vets and they hated the SS. They were considered lower than dog poop.
So as a director, why not put a bunch of dead bodies out there? Let the US trucks/half tracks run over them? Instead you have this perfectly clear road.
Do it right or don't do it at all.
4/10 stars for acting, effects, music and scenery
