Why the Hate?

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2017)

I just watched "Fury" and decided to check on its score in IMDb and, boy, why did I ever do it... I don't understand the negative reviews... It's not realistic? The Tiger knocked out 3 Shermans and hit the Fury twice in the sides, before it went down. It was a very realistic ratio during WWII. The Tiger commander might have got overconfident, excited, overwhelmed, etc... Also, he ordered the Tiger forward, because he probably wanted to put a shell in the Fury's side. Why not?
Why is the last scene so criticized? The SS soldiers took losses, because they were surprised and because they didn't expect to fight a fully armed American tank, which can pretty much maw down a lot of infantry with its machine guns and shells. The Panzerfaust weapons were not very effective against thicker armor, so you need to get very close to the tank's sides and hope it would penetrate the armor... Good luck in getting into position, while the tank is shooting at you with .50 caliber machine guns and high-explosive/phosphorus tank shells.
I can go on and on about the realism, but I won't.
This is an artistic depiction of WWII and it is done very well. Do you think American soldiers were not committing war crimes? They were. And many of these war crimes were not documented or revealed. It's war, people become savages and their humanity is stripped away.
Last scene is a cliché? Read about the feats, accomplished by WWII Medal of Honor bearers... Compared to what some of these soldiers have done, mowing down 50 SS soldiers by a tank crew is nothing. So, educate yourself, people. And stop with the pretense you know everything about WWII.
