Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

ladytrol (sorry for my bad English, I am Serbian) I gave this movie high score, because I was annoyed with low score and bad comparison with the Hunger Games trilogy, so although I don't think that this movie deserves score 9 when comparing to all kinds of movies especially classics, I think it deserves score 9 when comparing to similar movies ...ok, here is a brief comparison of the both movies which are the first in their trilogies. First of all, the Divergent has much more better plot, much more interesting story, the world is post apocalyptic - not only post- war like in Hunger Games, and these are first things that come to mind. Second, the chemistry between the characters is excellent in Divergent, and although great team of actors plays in the Hunger Games, their chemistry and excellent acting doesn't really have a good story to tell. Although the Divergent has pretty predictable love story (that is not so relevant to me, I find many mistakes in other places concerning some practical problems) and some other problems that annoy me like : why no one investigates murder attempt on Tris, and how could she be expelled from her fraction after the fight when she wasn't give up or surrender herself, after she had all those points which ranged her up? The actresses are both very very talented, and although I love Jennifer Lawrence, I must say that Shaileen Woodley is far more better (or maybe the character itself is more suggestible) in the Divergent, than Lawence is in Hunger Games. The camera is far better in the Divergent because in the Hunger Games 1, the camera is so nervous and moving that it's really annoying the eye of the viewer (when the movie is action, there is no need for this ''nervous''camera)... Although the Hunger Games has more critical implications on this our world of today (the critic of the reality shows, society differences and most of all, the horrible dictatorship and all of its wickedness) - in that matter both movies are not so comparable - since the Divergent is placed in the post apocalyptic world of tomorrow - which seems to be in some, more or less, justice and order. These are the reasons why am I so annoyed with comparing these two franchise. The other thing I must say is that The Divergent reminds me on the Twilight trilogy in many ways. For both of them I am very sorry that they are basically MADE FOR TEENAGERS, with lots of juvenile moments and commonplaces, and with illogical mistakes (the Divergent) and much more ''girly'' moments (the Twilight) but what can I say, the writers of the books did it that way so the movies probably couldn't go far from that. The Bottom line is: the Divergent is very good action movie, with interesting post appocalyptic world (some kind of mixture of the movies Gattaca and Brave New World book , and some moments from Equilibrium - by far more mature movies or better written novels) but which has appealing atmosphere, at least for me. You will certainly have much more fun watching the Divergent tha the HUnger Games!

adonis98-743-186503 In a world divided by factions based on virtues, Tris learns she's Divergent and won't fit in. When she discovers a plot to destroy Divergents, Tris and the mysterious Four must find out what makes Divergents dangerous before it's too late. Divergent succeeds thanks to great effort from Shailene Woodley, Theo James and Kate Winslet as the villain in a role that we haven't seen her before. The action sequences are dazzling, the special effects believable and the characters interesting although i didn't like Miles Teller and Jai Courtney's characters that much and even tho it's a bit slow at times it still makes sense since it tries to develop a plot and a story. Overall great teen sci-fi film (8.5/10)

gomeslukete 9/10. A film based in a book will never get a perfect 10 for me.... In my mind the chars and the environment, and everything is sooo better (but Christina I imagined exactly the way she is represented in the movie).... But this film, and the history of the whole trilogy, is great. The special effects, the screenplay...

wentworthstreet Goodness! Many of the other User Comments for this film seem unjustly brutal. I confess I would probably not be considered part of the usual demographic for this type of movie, being more than half way to my 'three score years and ten'. Perhaps it is because of this I was able to just sit back and enjoy this movie for what it is - solid escapist entertainment with a bit of romance thrown in for good measure. When our real world currently appears to be going to hell in a hand-basket, what on earth is wrong with a healthy dollop of romance and escapism? Some have accused the film of being totally far-fetched - but isn't that rather the point of a futuristic fantasy film? Again, futuristic/fantasy/ sci-fi films are not usually to my taste and I try to avoid anything with wizards and/or dragons at all costs - not my bag at all.I thought that Theo James as Four and Shailene Woodley as Tris had wonderful chemistry. It was also very good to know that the amorous Mr. Pamuk from Downton Abbey lived to fight another day after all! Does he remind anyone else of a young Charlton Heston, or is it just me?
