My Criticisms of Modern Historic Movies: Enemy At the Gates

Well, I guess I'll start a new one, and unlike SPR, I didn't like this film at all, and in a way, I want this to be damning. This movie has many more problems then SPR, but in this list, there are less options. SPR had a number of minor errors that deminished the quality of the movie slightly, whereas major mistakes in this film make it close to unwatchable.
