Default How much do you look for accuracy in a movie?

In some topics we know the movies can be quite disapointing. A science movie or a martial arts one for instance can be "cool" for someone who is not as informed, but for a specialist all the flaws are easy to spot.Does this affect the way you see movies? How much do you look for accuracy in a movie?

I don't ever look for accuracy in a movie and the only way that I would look for such a thing is if someone had told me about something being messed up or wrong in a movie and then well its a different story then I have to go looking for it lol..

For example, I am offended by movies that are made after historic facts, and the producers start changing the story just for the sake of the rating! I understand this when they are making a movie after a myth or something, but not when you know for sure what and how happened... Serials like "The Tudors" are a good example for this.

If it were a book made into a movie, I understand that there might be some things that readers would think were important but were excluded due to time constraints and what-not. But I do wish that such movies do justice to the book because often times they don't. As for other movies, I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough to spot the difference. So unless it's grossly inaccurate, I don't think I would mind.
