Simplista por supuesto, pero con un vestuario bonito del retro-Hollywood, al que se perdona fácilmente. Sorprendentemente no es un kitsch, es emocionante hasta escalofriante, simplemente por la atmósfera de la época oscura en la que se desarrolla SU HISTORIA. Perfectamente dirigida, con una profesionalidad fría, sin presionar a las emociones que es lo que de Zemeckis esperaríamos. Y sin grandes motivos amorosos que esperaríamos de la Nochevieja. Porque un guión tan bien escrito con una HISTORIA tan fuerte no necesita nada de eso. Y el final me mató.

¡Simplemente maravilloso! Lo único que he visto sobre los Aliados fue todo el revuelo sensacionalista que se desató a su alrededor. Sinceramente, no me sorprendería en absoluto si Marion y Brad no tuvieran ninguna chispa durante la filmación. Creo que biológica y psicológicamente no es ni siquiera posible cuando dos personas tan atractivas e irresistibles se encuentran y tienen que interpretar a amantes trágicos y destinados. Solo ellos dos saben cómo fue en realidad, pero en cualquier caso, yo creo que Marion se mantuvo fiel a Guillaume. Estoy infinitamente feliz de no haber leído ni una palabra sobre el contenido en ČSFD, porque entonces no habría necesitado ver la película, ya que se revela el principal giro argumental a mitad de la película. Afortunadamente, pude disfrutar de toda la película sin ser influenciado por ninguna información. Una de las mejores películas del año 2016, mejor que dos tercios de las nominadas al Óscar.

Zemeckis and Burgess revel in subtle camera-special effects, but instead of a marital drama, they unwittingly chart a cheesy WWII romance where sex is the equivalent of a desert storm and a Luftwaffe precision strike family picnic. These images, painstakingly copied from Spielberg, including Williams' score, only prove that some genres are passé even for experienced storytellers. The film is subjectively four hours long.

If it weren’t for the botoxed Brad Pitt and several scenes that reeked of Hollywood, where for instance a couple makes love in the midst of a sandstorm in Morroco and Marion Cotillard then gives birth during an air raid of London, I would be literally excited about the movie. I haven’t seen such great war atmosphere for a long time, which actually is no wonder. Robert Zemeckis is a great director and he’s truly great at creating high-quality atmospheres. The ending of the movie was also literally aced, but I guess Angelina Jolie probably wouldn’t share my excitement…

The triple combo of Robert Zemeckis, Brad Pitt and Nazis simply can't go wrong. Allied portrays the view of World War II from a different angle, which is always interesting. While the film is primarily a romantic drama, the chemistry between Pitt and the lovely Marion Cotillard works well here, the atmosphere is sombre and properly retro. There are only two action scenes, but they've got oomph, they're hard-hitting, and the party scene is one of the film's highlights. I'm a little disappointed that the film doesn't build up too much, the pace is rather slower, but I didn't get bored and that counts. The ending is properly shocking, which also rounds it up to four stars. Pluses: Excellent direction, excellent acting, retro atmosphere, R-rated. Minuses: longer running time, little action.70%

Robert Zemeckis is considered a visionary, but at the core, he is and will always be old-fashioned. And that old-fashionedness is insidious, because Allied pretend to be a Moroccan war trifle for a while, later transforms through intense action interludes into an honest drama, and then doesn't recoil from flirting with a good amount of tension. Over time, additional layers of storytelling are added, and in the end, there remains a taste of a pleasantly genre-defying spectacle that makes one forget about the overly drawn-out pace of the first act.

Knight doesn’t write bad stories and when he pays homage to Hollywood classics like Casablanca, he manages to add an element of modernity. Pitt’s cold fish Max Vatan melting in the arms of Marion Cotillard in action scenes is still an effective killing machine and the spying game is much more convincing than usual. Details, details and more details. Zemeckis has made a strong genre piece with abundant gleaming camera shots and, the occasional feeble special effect here and there doesn’t matter in the slightest. A quality romantic wartime drama about family, love and good people in a difficult situation. Ideal for a date.

Robert Zemeckis likes to dwell on the past, and all his famous films from the late 80s and early 90s are full of adventure, passion and joy that only the medium of cinema itself can convey. Romancing the Stone, Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Death Becomes Her... They always had a touch of the good old days. And Allied is indeed the good old days, referencing Casablanca, serving up action, espionage, romance, not even parodying the scenes with the Nazis, just nostalgically remembering the time we romantically idealize.

Emotionally, it's a bit of a cold story that ironically, especially at first, moves quite slowly, but Zemeckis does repair his reputation after the botched The Walk, as Allied may not work as well as a romantic drama, but it certainly works as a WWII spy film. Brad Pitt, of course, as has been the case for the last 10 years, is appropriately wonderful, and Marion Cotillard is traditionally, by eye contact, properly inscrutable. It's not an exemplary hit, but it's filmmaking from a filmmaker who rarely gets it really wrong. It has all the classic filmmaking frameworks that meet at least the standard, plus an absolutely lavish form with at least three over-the-top sequences and a beautifully stylized Morocco set to Silvestri's music.

A film with Zemeckis’s perfect craftsmanship, powerfully emotional, atmospheric, with wonderful performances by Pitt and Cotillard, the nonchalant score by Silvestri, and sensitively photographed by Burgess, right on the scale of a soberly edited retro trip. A precisely balanced blend of romantic drama and dark historical backdrop that creates an immensely immersive aura and gradually builds under the cauldron to a chilling, crushingly unyielding finale. A small great cinematic event that will sadly fade quickly into obscurity, but it’s nonetheless a wonderful and valuable revelation in contemporary Hollywood conventions. 90%

Neither great nor terrible. As usual, the enemies run straight into the fire of the heroes, who are then able to leave the scene without any consequences. Then the film morphed into some sort of a romantic drama with war used only as a backdrop to the story. The situation was saved by the ending. A happy one would have clearly been unfortunate in this case.

Brad Pitt is great, Marion Cotillard is excellent, and Robert Zemeckis knows how to film a scene that will be aesthetically intriguing at first glance. He chose an interesting story for his next film, but I just couldn't get into it, and this otherwise strong dramatic romance just didn't quite captivate me.
