Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (11 May 2014)

Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of the Divergent Series. I am currently reading Insurgent. I was excited when Divergent became a movie. Since the book was amazing I had high expectations. Sadly my expectations were not met. They had skipped many important plot points throughout the film. A few examples are why Tobias is called Four, the back story of Tobias (which was only briefly mentioned in his fear landscape), when Tris is caught by Eric after going to the Erudite compound, Peter feeling up and degrading Tris's body when they try to push her off into the chasm, for capture the flag they originally use paint balls, Christina grabs the flag, Tobias originally is the only person in the control room and he was the one to shut it down, and many more. The ending left out a great deal of conversation between Caleb and Tobias. Peter and Molly are made to look less violent and extreme in the movie. There were not many fight scenes which was disappointing. They also did not add a lot of scenes where Tobias and Tris start being close. The movie made their romance so sudden. The book is definitely a 9.5/10 but the movie lacked and strayed from the book thus why I give it a 6/10.
