The cinematography.Brad Pitt is still Brad Pitt (so he didn't exceed or fail any of my expectations concerning his acting). Even Marion Cotillard couldn't find chemistry between her and Pitt. The plot has a few moments of suspense, but it's hopeless, from beginning and especially to end.… Expand

Even considering its extremely slow pacing, Allied chalks up to be a decent romantic World War II thriller with decent performances and fantastic production design.

It had a great trailer almost up there with the Revenant's and at the level of American Pastoral's but the movie adds up to just a pretty good one. But it still has some great parts;all the action scenes and the confrontations at the end. ItIt had a great trailer almost up there with the Revenant's and at the level of American Pastoral's but the movie adds up to just a pretty good one. But it still has some great parts;all the action scenes and the confrontations at the end. It probably didn't get the best reviews because the action wasn't elaborate,the in between scenes can seem dull and we don't know why BP falls for her. I might have prefered a darker ending but it still had some good emotion. Unfortunately I might have to wait till Rogue Uno for the next movie.… Expand

As is so often the case, but particularly outrageous here, the trailer gives this film away! It's one thing that the idiots who created and oversaw the trailer have no regard for a major twist coming a full halfway through the featureAs is so often the case, but particularly outrageous here, the trailer gives this film away! It's one thing that the idiots who created and oversaw the trailer have no regard for a major twist coming a full halfway through the feature running time and chose to divulge that in favor of a marketing hook (the stars and scope were all that was needed geniuses, or alluding to it without spelling it out in the actual dialogue), but for Zemeckis to pull this s---- yet again is just beyond freaking belief! Despite their faulty reasoning for doing such, I can point to exactly how that trailer ruined the movie instantly. There are a couple shots very early in the feature, which had I not seen the stupid trailer these shots would not raise much suspicion, however having seen the trailer, these pertinent shots in the feature instantly give the ending of the movie away. To go into more detail would mean spoilers which I don't ever do on here. So holding back on divulging certain plot twists in trailers matters a great deal dummies!

The "What Lies Beneath", "Castaway" and "Flight" trailers from Zemeckis and company all gave the entire movies away (in particular key twists or resolutions) which was a minor scandal in the media way back at the time of the former two, but those were all good movies warranting viewing even with the spoilers. This is not. You're better off compressing the experience in two minutes than wasting two hours on a stale, uninspired bore that is so derivative and contrived it plays like it was made by people who have been making movies all their lives, not having lived life. The contemporized sex, violence and language don't help. Particularly the language no doubt is unrealistic for the period.

Zemeckis is a giant in Hollywood and deserves all his great success for quite a track record. He's obviously brilliant, so for him to skip out at the very last stage by blowing the trailers is simply inexcusable.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If the German Nazis want to kill their own man who resists the Nazi regime, why they would choose a Canadian army person to kill their own man and taking so much troubles and risks to mislead the Canadian assassinator ?? Does not make any sense. Was the Nazi regime afraid of their own CNN or what ?? Or maybe so much afraid of their Human Rights organizations so they required such disguise ?? Just ridiculous !!!! The Nazis who murdered openly so many of their own men, suddenly turn so sensitive about killing 1 man of their own ??

All the great intelligence agencies of the Allies don't have any clue about the above German plot. They don't notice the Nazi spyess is a fake Marianne Beauséjour and that she is misleading their own man in Casablanca. The Allies intelligence don't suspect how a known French resistant against Nazis befools the Germans so easily and becomes so trusted by the Germans. The Allies never heard the real Marianne Beauséjour is dead. The Allies don't have a clue the German ambassador is against the Nazi regime. The British intelligence screws up in checking the spyess background before approving her entrance to England. So, is this a new game of naivety & innocence or what ?? And then what justification they had to blame Max Vatan for marrying a German spyess ?? How could he know what his whole employing agency could not ?? For so many screw ups in such a short time, all the head intelligence officers should have been sacked immediately. The so brave German spyess who has balls to risk her own life in hostile places, suddenly loses them in a friendly place. She could easily desert and let the British intelligence know the names of the German spys in England who jeopardize her. She would be pardoned and safeguarded. First the brave & tough Max Vatan rejects the spyess trials to seduce him. First he tells her to close the lousy buttons of her shirt when she tries to seduce him and explains her why it's not good to have such relationship being in duty. Later he makes a wild sex with her in the car. And finally he asks to marry her. So what the heck happened in between that caused such dedicated, rational and tough agent to flip flop with his personal feelings ?? Did just few smiles of her and her shooting abilities made this whole flip flopping difference ?? What did he see in her which we the audience could not ?? Do the movie makers conceal some top confidential secret about their spying couple ?? Please enlighten us. The war is over, Hitler is dead, the Allies won. So it's time to loosen up. The setting is usually very good, except in the opening when he parachutes in the desert, which looks like the parachuter and the setting is taken from a computer game.… Expand

Loved the costumes and the story. Loved Marion as the femme fatale. Couldn't believe Brad's character and his acting is so wooden. Lot's of unrealistic things in the movie. but it was entertaining.
