Like literally 2 guys flanked Fury, one of whom had he panzerfaust which missed, and after firing it, both seemingly disappeared even though they should have had what amounted to a perfectly clear shot on brad pitt who wasnt even looking in their direction...

To be fair, at that stage of the war, even the SS were running a little low in terms of soldiers with actual combat experience. Still fanatical, just not combat experienced.

Actually them even being more fanatical than any other unit isn't necessarily true at that stage of the war. While there are definitely some problems with the scene involving the Waffen-SS at the end, the bit about them acting like they were poorly trained isn't one of them. By that stage of the war, lots of Waffen-SS were actually conscripted and their training was suffering just like that of the Wehrmacht. The biggest problem I had with it was the lack of Panzerfausts and the bit where they are marching through a combat zone singing.

They did flank Fury. Its just movie Panzerfausts are only as deadly as mandated by the script.

Early on, little kid blows up lead tank and everyone inside no problem.

Ending battle, grown SS guys either totally miss from 12 ft away OR the shot is a through and through and only manages to kill one guy.

Yup. They did flank and use suppressing fire and things like that. Like G. Templar said though, the movie kind of overruled the potential effectiveness of their tactics.

Plot armor is BESTEST Armor. Even King Tiger's can't penetrate it.

Going to throw out "Stalingrad"

There were two movies called Stalingrad. The most recent one was made by Russia, but the 1993 version was made by Germany, told from the German side. It was a great film, but it made me depressed after.
Anyways, on topic. The final battle had too much "zerg-rush" of a feel. I kept asking why the SS soldiers didn't bother to flank the Sherman, they had a great opportunity.
Other than that, I loved it.

This worth a looksee overall so guys?

Yes it is!

Just know that the ending is very Hollywood, and telegraphed way in advance!

It is worth seeing. Just a stupid ending.
