Enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2014)

If you liked Hunger Games you should enjoy Divergent. Very similar feel and I thought Divergent was quite a compelling story.
A lot of reviewers pan it, but I think there's a lot of the typical IMDb bandwagon-jumping going on. Some fans of the book hated the movie, so it must be cool to hate it. I guess I'm not cool - I liked it! Most movies require that proverbial "suspension of disbelief" and Divergent is no exception.
Acting (main characters): Excellent / Supporting cast: Good to average / Concept: Excellent / Screenplay (dialog): Could have been better / Scene Direction: Excellent / Cinematography: Good / Editing: Meh!
Do a few flat spots or supposed plot-flaws ruin it? I didn't think so. Some others did. No need to over-think it, though. There's still a lot to like here.
My advice: see it and decide for yourself.
