Just after Divergent came out, I knew I had to see it, because I had recently read the book (not the series). The book, as I had mentioned before, was very interesting and was a page turner. The movie was good as well, but it left out SO much from the book.
The summary and main idea was the same when you compare it from the book to the movie. (Click HERE for a quick summary and review of the book.) The movie wasn't bad, but if I had to compare it to The Hunger Games, I would say The Hunger Games is better.
I think Shailene Woodley acted wonderfully for the role of Tris--in the movie, she had the same traits as she had in the book; outgoing, brave, and selfless. Theo James also did well for the role of Four, and I didn't notice his accent at all (He's British).
This is a really short review, but out of ten, I would give this movie a 6.5, because it isn't a movie I would like to see over and over again, but maybe a few times is enough. I must admit, I did expect the movie to be better, but if you haven't read the books, watch this movie! If you have, well...don't be too disappointed if the movie left out some things.
