Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

mattkratz This wasn't too bad a sequel to the Divergent movie as it mostly serves as an "in between" movie. Kind of like Back to the Future Part II. It relies mostly on action scenes and special effects. The lead actress's performance was good and the action scenes carried it pretty well but only so far. I liked it pretty well though. If you are a fan of the series and are curious, you might give it a try.

AliRadicali Probably the worst indictment I can give this forgettable franchise is that the only characters with any level of character development throughout the entire trilogy are bad guys and antiheroes. Our heroes, by stark contrast, start off being kind and virtuous and skilled in every conceivable way and thus are never required to grow as characters. I'm not sure if this is a problem in YA writing, film writing or feminist writing, possibly all of the above, but I can't help but notice similarities between the Divergent franchise and the Hunger Games: both of these purport to present a strong female role-model, and yet neither succeed in presenting anything but a petulant Mary Sue who inexplicably finds herself the center of her respective universe. Despite being an uppity go-getter who smashes through dozens of armed men at a whim, Triss is an object: things happen to her not because of the choices she makes but because she is divergent. In this regard Triss, like Katniss is a strange hybrid between the role of the princess and the role of the hero: both the object of the quest as the person going on the quest for said object. The result is muddled story telling without a point, because unlike a classical hero these spunky heroines never really have to grow to prove their worth; as the princess their value is inherent in what they are.Now I could go on to describe how this series features every cliché in the dystopian sci/fi genre, but frankly I wouldn't have cared if the material were competently handled. The operative word being "if". Sadly, the introduction to this setting, with its factions and it's bigotry-against-divergents, is done so lazily that you're left yelling "WHY?!" at the screen for two films straight before the franchise even tries to answer basic questions about the premise, despite the fact that virtually all the drama stems from it.On the plus side, this franchise had a few interesting ideas, albeit poorly executed, and the visuals were not half bad. Overall though, would only recommend as an exercise in critical film viewing, not as a legitimate film-viewing experience.

Graham Harvey While this film is the same type of film where 12 year olds seem to read this pap about 17 to 23 year olds being the heroes and anyone over 30 being evil or irrelevant, like the sad and hopeless hunger games, where life is futile and pointless, there was something about this film that I came to like. Maybe I just ignored that tragic perspective about a sad future of the world where everyone has been put under some kind of 1984esq loss of freedom. The characters were determined to get to the source of the problem and bring resolution, and determination & grit ruled the day. I loved the escape by train scene. Not a bad one.

labeatkryeziu First of all how come this Peter got from bad guy to their friend and he still screw them over , and when he got tris to the room with the machine Tris still didn't want to kill him , really , let the guy who screwed you 24/7 go Second - 20 people cant shoot a single target , really , are they all blind ? , 20 5 year old would hit the target Tris , Four or Celeb Third - why did this Celeb run from bullets of Jeanine so he can go to them without force , or did he just know that bullets don't go straight to the target or maybe false bullets , who knows Fourth - So Jeanine can control their mind and all she does is make suicides , she can easily make them to bring Tris to her , its so simple This is my opinion but if you listen to me you will not waste 2 hours watching a movie that insults your intelligence
