Same old, same old. Visually nice but to little content for a 2 1/2 hour movie. Feels very similar to Hunger Games. A blown up story that maybe younger people can relate to more. If there will be a sequel I will skip it. Oh, and Kate Winslet was not very convincing as the villain.

I read the book before the production even took place and I have to say, the movie was boring. I was squirming in my seat just PRAYING for it to be over already.

Having not read the books, I can't really comment on the similarities/differences between the books and the films, so my comment will be purely based on the film.

Overall I enjoyed this film, and I completely disagree with the comments/complaints that this series is just trying to be the next Hunger Games, it's very different in my opinion. I enjoyed the political undertones but only as an exaggeration of a bad system that the leaders always think is "best for the people". I have seen this before and could remember the big plot points but not the little things, so it was good to refresh my memory, but maybe the suspense was taken away by the prior knowledge.

I would, as always, recommend watching this film.
7/10

It was ok, but too drawn out.

I guess I am one of those people who claim "the movie is never as good as the book."

The plot still remained somewhat entertaining (although I felt myself getting easily distracted), but any visible character development was lost and many scenes felt illogical or meaningless. I felt some emotion for Shailene "Tris"…but Theo…I really wanted to love you, but other than your chiselled features and dramatic stares…you showed no personality and felt very lifeless, much like a droid. (Oh and definitely could've used Uriah).

The book destroyed the personality of most characters, even Tris and Four. Some important parts are disconected from the rest and it made the movie unclear. I just think how they want to make other movies from the trilogy without Uriah.

Slightly entertaining, very predictable, somewhat boring.

Pretty good chick flick.

I don't understand what kind of people would like such movies. Sure, there is some romantic BS, but come on now, you can't just rate a movie based on that.
It is not like I didn't get the idea. Yea, I know what this was about, but man, for me this sucked BIG time!

It's actually not a bad movie, i'd actually go so far as to say it's good. Altho some of the ideas in it just makes no sense. That said, Shailene Woodley does a better job portraying the character than Jennifer Lawrence does at portraying Katniss.

That and the music is totally ok in my book! :)

One of the downsides of being so adverse to being spoiled that I won't even watch trailers... I get stuck watching something that a simple trailer inform me not to watch.

The review:

Pure angsty teenage girl drama-rama. Another dystopian society gone wrong and only the downtrodden underdog who also happens to be the chosen one can save the day, but this time, WITH LOVE! Yuck.

All that being said, am I going to watch the sequel? Ugh. probably, but don't ask me why.

It was watchable but the pacing severely suffers. we aren't really introduced to the main conflict for the first half of the movie, and the clumsy exposition just weighs down what should be a straightforward story.

Could've, and perhaps should've, been greater.

'Divergent' does makes for a good watch, it has a lot of positive elements to it and features two strong leads. However, the dialogue and the way the characters act up until the third act is irritating, especially at the beginning as they introduce all those involved.

Shailene Woodley is excellent in her role, she brings likeable qualities to Tris alongside a sense of strength. I also liked Theo James, who portrays Four. A few of the others, like Zoë Kravitz (Christina) and Miles Teller (Peter), are OK too. With that said, they are all let down by the aforementioned iffy dialogue.

I rate the initial world building and all the different factions, though that's one of the (many) areas where I think this film could've been great - so much more can be done with that. More development into the enemies would've been nice too, namely with Kate Winslet's Jeanine. Better fitting music is another thing that was needed.

I did expect more, but I think there's enough here to have a decent time with.

I really like this movie, it's quite cool. I love the concept of the factions (Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite), the factionless, and the divergent. My favorite scene (actually two) is when "Run Boy Run" plays. That song is so fitting.

There's also a lot of action in this movie, probably even too much tbh :D It also feels a bit too dark and brutal (it's quite heartbreaking when their parents die at the end and Eric isn't nice at all). At least Four provides some light in the darkness.

There are a few good lines in it though and some nice concepts.

@dahj extra note: In this movie I'd also like to join Dauntless but I probably wouldn't make it so I'd likely go for Erudite (which should also match the recommendation based on the aptitude test).

Divergent (2014)
Insurgent (2015)
Allegiant (2016)

I enjoyed this movie. Great chemistry between Tris and Four. Haven't read the books so can't compare it to them, but definitely curious enough to give them a go now.
