* The Netflix blurb for ''[[Kingdom of Heaven]]'' states that Orlando Bloom's character takes up his sword to free the Holy Land from the Turks. In actuality, the movie is set in between the Second and Third Crusades; the Seljuk Turks controlled the Holy Land in the onset of the First Crusade, and no Turks would go on to control the Holy Land until the Ottoman Turks, nearly 300 years after the last of the big Crusades. Of course, all of that overlooks the bigger error; the moviefilm is about Saladin's recapture of the Holy Land ''from'' Crusaders, who had at the time been occupying it for almost a century.
* The ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' films:
** In a ridiculously inaccurate negative review for ''[[X2: X-Men United]]'' by Stephen Hunter of ''The Washington Post'' it quickly became clear that he [[Did Not Do the Research|did not bother to watch the movie]], or was distracted for most of its length. At one point, he said that Rogue had the power to ''reverse time'', even going so far as to call her "the Mistress of Rewind." He was apparently confused by the scenes in which she extinguishes flames (using Pyro's power) and makes Wolverine's wounds reappear (he let her borrow his [[Healing Factor]]. His wounds reappearing is [[No Ontological Inertia|another problem]]).
