Enjoyable from an action standpoint, but so not historically accurate it hurts

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2015)

This movie I did enjoy from AN ACTION STANDPOINT. It kept me entertained with all the exciting commando Uncle Sam's GIs kick the butts of the most experienced and seasoned ground infantry of the war(I am aware of the Volkssturm coming into existence near the end of the war, but there were Waffen-SS soldiers and a freaking Tiger Tank). This Fury tank crew in their tin can Sherman somehow survives two shots from the behemoth monster cannon of the Tiger, while all their comrades get one shot and die like fish in a barrel. That Sherman tank would've been a piece of scrap metal based off where they got hit. This movie is stereotypical Hollywood WWII action. If you want historical accurate re accounts of the war, go read books(because no movie in Hollywood is really all that accurate, maybe Saving Private Ryan is OK). Sure, I still love WWII movies and such, but I always make sure to keep my thinking cap on and separate the historically accurate from the Hollywood. The ending is where the biggest load of BS gets thrown at you featuring the Third Reich's most elite ground infantry, "The SS Drunkards." I understand why the movie made it so action packed and so down to the end, but lets be real here, that tank crew was soo screwed I have no idea why the heck they didn't run. Their enemies have like 50 panzerfausts and don't even shoot them. This movie takes WWII and turns it into an American steamroll session.
