I believe you'd enjoy History Buffs over on yt. They review historical accounting in any film based on true events.

From what I remember, Braveheart and The Patriot are both pretty bad.

Apollo 13 screwed up how dramatized the problem solving was. They'd had everything figured out beforehand for a scenario like they experienced, and executed the playbook.

One of Chris Hadfield's books basically explains that an astronauts job is to figure out what could go wrong then figure out how to fix that thing, then memorize all of the things so when it happens you can fix it immediately without hesitation. So yeah, it's no surprise NASA had Apollo 13's issues in the playbook.
