disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (4 April 2014)

I loved the book, which probably set me up to be disappointed by this movie. To me, it seemed that important parts were missing and random things added. Peter came off as a light hearted jerk instead of a dangerous sociopath and Four just happened to suddenly like Tris. These were important things to develop. Instead, time was taken to have a show down with Janine at the end??? It wasn't just the deviation from the book. I saw this movie with a Divergent-virgin and he asked me multiple times if it was almost over. He felt lost and confused. I understand when movies are changed because the book just doesn't play out but that did not appear to be the case.
This was very disappointing and I frankly expected more with Roth being part of the production team.
