Field of Dreams
Although Field of Dreams is considered to be a sports classic to many who have enjoyed it in the past, Sports Illustrated writer Jerry Belvins doesn't think that the movie got the proper criticism that it deserved. For instance, Belvins points out that the legendary Shoeless Joe Jackson batted left-handed in real life, while the movie displayed him as a righty. He also criticized the scripting of the movie, calling it lazy and inaccurate to the origins of the players themselves. He credits the movie's popularity to the public perception that they "have to like the movie because everyone else does."
Braveheart
Film Critic Nathan Kamal bashed Braveheart for being "cartoonishly inaccurate." Although the movie won five Oscars, the film itself lacked actual historical accuracy, depicted wardrobe choices that would not have existed at the time, and even included a romantic subplot that would have literally been impossible. Braveheart is overrated, the people have spoken.
