Could this end up being one of those films where there is a huge divide between professional critics and the masses?

I don't think so. Usually those films are more character driven with deep themes that appeal to the critics but not necessarily the average movie goer. An action packed war film doesn't really fit the mold.

In addition, usually Nolan films are better received by the audience than the critics. He has an average critic tomatometer score of 84.4% for his 9 movies, but the audience rated them as 89%, with only Insomnia rated lower. The average user rating on rottentomatoes and metacritic also show a similar trend.
