Why is it that movies made in modern day about WWII are critisised for their inaccuracies, when stuff like "Eagles Has Landed" are considered a classic?

What's the difference?

Not saying it's a bad or good movie, havent seen it, but maybe we should before we say 'yay' or 'nay'.

At least we get to see a real Tiger this time (and Sherman).

I think the difference here is that "The Eagle Has Landed" is based off of a novel by Jack Higgins so it's already is "historically inaccurate" in a way, whereas "Fury" is supposed to be based off a true story and Hollywood manages to get the historical aspects wrong. If I do decide to see "Fury" it's going to be after some reviews are out.
