Anyone sick of historical films?

If a film maker is telling the story of an actual character in history, I feel that they at least have the responsibility to get the story right. If not, they should place a disclosure at the beginning of the movie that might state the following,

"Although based on historical events, the makers of this movie have taken the license to incorrectly portray event and characters in order to pander to the audience and to Hollywood executives. "
