Great Film overall

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

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.

There was minimalist tension from start. Why nobody follow after attack in Casablanca but love is real and war is cruel. Like a Iconic Love Story (movie) placed to WW2 time.

Overall I liked the film - the story, how was made with exception of Brad Pitt performance. He is not a good actor. I have more actors in mind that would've played that role much better - Pitt ruins the whole film! He is artificial and soulless, as if he does it just because somebody asked him but he didn't want. If it wasn't for him, the film would be great. Marion Cotillard as always gives her best.

A very enjoyable film with beautiful cinematography and excellent performances. The overall production values are excellent, as you might expect from the headline talent. The story poses a unique premise and keeps you hooked until everything is revealed in the end. In an age where special effects have taken over, it's refreshing to watch a film
that mainly cares about characters and complex human situations. Yet for anyone wanting to see war action, you'll get plenty of that as well.The stars themselves and the costumes all look stunning. Yes almost too stunning at times, but it's so glorious to look at you can forgive the film-makers for that. Some ridiculous negative reviews prevented me from seeing this in theatres, which I now regret. Tosh from Marvel keeps scoring high on RT, but then you see it and it's complete garbage about crystals (every movie, seriously). Films like Allied deserve more serious attention. Overall, well worth a look!

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.
