Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
This is one of those movies you can not know what would happen until the very ending,the movie was very entertaining and full of switches the ending was unpredictable this was a great story and also a word class acting.
When they love each other they know that they will fight the world beside the currently war to live together he decided to leave every thing just for his family for his love .. True love real love .. and she got it .. she saw his love in his actions in his words .. she take a great painful strong move .. to protect him and her doughtier .. she loved him and he loved her ..
The film has a great look to it. The sets and costumes and props all look appropriate for the era. And the overall feel of the movie is just about perfect. But there just doesn't seem to be enough story to go with all that. You have a basic story of divided loyalties and love gone wrong and the cruelty of war, yada, yada, and a predictable ending. The action scenes are well done, though they strain credulity as any super-hero movie would. The good guys always come out unscathed and all the bad guys die, but it is a movie, after all. Brad Pitt does a good job and now looks the part for more mature roles, his boyish face finally starting to show some age. So, yeah, it's worth a look, but the ending is somewhat unsatisfying, and the whole story is just a couple of clicks short of being really interesting.
I always thought of Robert Zemeckis as a hit or miss director. I hated Beowulf but I loved Death Becomes Her for instance. Allied falls right in the middle. An old fashion WWII drama and when I say old fashion I mean, musty, tired. Mr and Mrs Smith territory but with the major plus of Marion Cottillard. She is wonderful. Brad Pitt, who I love, looked like a special effect and being in a Robert Zemeckis movie I thought that he might be. Very strange. The simple premise of discovering that your spouse is not who you thought she was, opens a world of dramatic opportunities but there is something about Robert Zemeckis that makes me think he doesn't really care about the human interaction, no. he seems, always, much more focus in the special effects. Allies is no exception and in fact it has a couple of breathtaking visual coups. Unfortunately the actual drama left me completely cold.
