Please make it end.......

Divergent is just another teen book to film translation that only a person under 17 could care about, written by a woman in her first novel attempt and boy it shows.
I have not read the book but if the film is any indication of the plot it must have been a bad read too.
This story is so dull through the first hour I was begging for it to end. Nothing happened and I found myself laughing and rolling my eyes at the corny plot. The acting is wooden and you can see what's coming next by a mile.
As with a lot of modern books and movies aimed at teens this one is full of nonsensical rules that people need to follow. You are born into a caste system, but then you can't choose another, and if you fail to succeed you are cast out to be a homeless person?? And if you choose different from your families group you can't see them again? Ridiculously silly stuff. Mass mind control??
The rule in today's teen movies like the Hunger Games, Harry Potter, etc is that anything goes no matter how inane and out of place. The physical challenges and mind/drug inducing is amazingly unreal. Girls fighting guys twice their size bare fisted?
Isn't a divergent the same as everyone today? Don't we all have multiple skills and desires? I can imagine the 14 year old girls coming out of this movie thinking "I'm so divergent" because I play soccer and I like silly novels about the future.
