Divergent



What I liked:

  • Shailene Woodley was very good.  Her character is complex but still has a nice innocence to her.
  • I enjoyed Miles Teller.  He doesn't play an easy character to like.
  • Kate Winslet is fantastic.  Nice to see her play evil.
  • It also stars Theo James, Ashley Judd, Jai Courtney, Ray Stevenson, Zoe Kravitz, Tony Goldwyn, Maggie Q, and Mekhi Phifer.
  • The opening shot of a war torn Chicago is chilling.  It looks so real.
  • The soundtrack is good.
  • There was no love triangle.

What I didn't like:
  • I have a lot of questions about how this society lives.  Perhaps they explained it better in the book.
  • Does she have to fall in love in the first film?  You know there is at least a sequel.  Save it for later.

Grade: B+
