Poor adaptation trying to cater to kids instead of teens/adults

Rating: 3/10 (25 March 2014)

I understand not keeping things 100% the same in book to film adaptations, especially if they're not integral parts to the plot or if they don't translate well to screen, but many of the things that were suspenseful in the book were completely removed or trimmed away to help get that pg 13 rating and while sometimes less can be more, it certainly wasn't in this case as much of the gravitas and suspense being removed and trimmed away as well, there was not even any lack of urgency until the film was partly in it's second half.
I also feel like somethings should have been explained better for those who hadn't read the books. For instance in the film and even the trailer we see the character Tori tell Beatrice that "you're divergent, the test didn't work on you" but in no point of the film do they really explain why the initial test didn't pan out, I mean we see how Beatrice manipulates the tests later on even in the trailer ("this isn't real"/breaks the glass) but we never get the reasoning why she tested for multiple factions thus being divergent
