Review: Insurgent

I recently watched Insurgent (after reading the book, of course :D) with my close friends and to be honest, I was surprised the way the movie was put together. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Divergent series, Insurgent is the second part to Divergent. The movie is about a girl named Tris who was in an almost perfect society, but strong forces threatened to pull the society apart. The book has more content than the movie (duh), but compared to the Harry Potter series or The Hunger Games series, the movie is less like the book in many ways. 

If you already read Insurgent, be prepared to be a bit disappointed with the level of organization  and the change of direction of the movie, but the story line and plot was still not bad. If you haven't read the book (READ IT), I would recommend the movie, but watching Divergent would be a good idea, otherwise, you won't understand anything. 

The acting was great, and featured Hollywood stars like Kate Winslet, Ray Stevenson and Octavia Spencer. Also, the character that Shailene Woodley portrays is nothing like Tris from the book. Overall, I was a bit disappointed with the change of the plot and the way Tris was shown in the movie. My rating out of ten, would be a 3.5-4. I would watch it for the first time, but probably not for the second.
