I quite liked Hacksaw Ridge. I don't think it's meant to be taken as a face-value realistic war movie, but instead as a literal representation of "war is hell". There's a line where the Avatar guy says to Vince Vaughn that Garfield will be going into hell etc. To me that's what the movie was trying to portray, the Japanese and the battlefield aren't meant to be realistic but instead representative of Hell and Devils. Also echoing that Hugo Weaving was great in it and his scenes alone made it worth watching.

Plus if American Sniper can get nominated for Best Picture, any shlocky war movie can. At least Hacksaw Ridge lionized an actual good person instead of a real life piece of poo poo.
