I feel like taking any critics (top or no) seriously, is a silly thing to do anyway. Being paid to review a film does not make one an expert, and it does not make a review any more than a personal opinion. I do realise people look at reviews to decide on whether to see a film or not, but looking at Rotten Tomatoes and even spending five minutes on researching my all time favourite films makes me realise that what critics loved I didn't necessarily like that much, and that some of the films I've watched countless times and love dearly are among some of the most "rotten" in the critics eye. In the end it's about whether YOU felt something or not. Personally, I feel that what did Allied a great disservice was the putting together of the trailer - it sold the film as a genre it isn't, and the disappointment is what seems to be leading many to give it a poor review.
