Most annoying/stupid or inaccurate films of all time

Kingdom of Heaven and Timeline. The worst historical films I have ever seen. KoH was completely inaccurate had that awful modern crap about tolerance. For God's sake! This is the 12th century in the Crusades, not the bloody U.N today.

Add to that the simple blacksmith who becomes Super warrior/Seige analyst/inspirational leader, seemingly overnight...errggh.

The Patriot was equally innacurate...

'Hi, we are the super-friendly patriots, fighting against the tyranical British in a rightious cause. We are so nice and noble, we even love the slaves who fight for us (bet they dont realise we will keep their kinsmen as slaves for the next 100 odd years..hee hee hee)...and they love us too.

Look how we have managed to gloss over the fact that this war is basically about rich, white slave-owners, who dont want to contribute to their own defence.

Then we will get the French to bail us out, because they love Liberty as much as we do...we will then proceed to brag about our military prowess for the next 150 years or so.'

PS: Dont take any offence my Yankee breathren- I love ya really

But despite being Scottish, I must admitt Braveheart is a joke. William Wallace is Australian, and they didn't even bother putting in a bridge or river for the battle of Stirling Bridge!

He said having a river and bridge got in the way to which the interviewer responded "Aye, that's what the English found too"

Braveheart - what an awful film. Those damn English, they murder and rape women, children and chop up prisonners of war.

The Patriot - what an awful film. Those damn English, they murder dogs and women and children and prisonners of war.

I also really like Gladiator and Braveheart, maybe that is because inaccuracy doesn't really matter to me that much.

But you English ARE dogs! Just kidding. I don't know enough about the way the Scottish were treated (I do know they raided northern English settlements frequently, so what did they expect?) But the Patriot made me wince, on several occassions. Pandered to the worst stereotypes & myths we Americans have about the War for Independence. In all reality, there were plenty of Col. Tarletons, but they didn't come off the boat... the tory & rebel leaders were both bastards in many cases.

The most annoying/stupid movie I have ever seen would have to be would have to be 'Being John Malkovich". This movie SUCKED!

Both sides were just as bad as each other when it came to raiding.

For me Braveheart, such an awful film

The Patriot was crap too. The Colonel guy was fought to a draw by a kid who had never held a sword

**Taurus** · 08-10-2005, 19:42

Troy wasn't that good but there are worst films. Alexander was rubbish though

What? That was a great movie. A little strange, but you at least have to give them credit for originality. Decent acting, weird storyline, Malkovich making fun of himself. What exactly bugged you about it? It's not like "Freddie Got Fingered" or any of the other mainstream pap Hollywood insists on feeding us.
