The best one yet

Rating: Null/10 (26 March 2014)

I love this line from the youtube series "honest trailer" - "they had the romance of a lifetime, expressed entirely in stares" in honor of the epic Twilight love flop. And this is what I was hoping not to see again in the Divergent series. There was too much supernatural soap opera going on the last couple of years, it's the time for something much less smooching and much more plot than chasing shirtless hotties. And here it comes - yes undeniably the romance is still on, but so far much more clean and painless. Beside that, the story offers some the food for thought, the point being how you build your character when you are young and how the choices make us who we are. It is to be argued if Tris is more or less or the same level of complexity as Katniss but definitely there is much less darkness to her than to the Hunger games' heroine and I must say this is very likable. So the story is quite real to keep you invested throughout the whole 2h of it. The end is nice though not much of a cliffhanger for the next movie. But the cast delivers quite engaging performance so you would love to see them again. I really enjoyed the progress of Shailene Woodley after "The spectacular now" and I believe there are more great performances from her to come. The rest of the cast was charming as well - very hateble villains, very reliable boyfriend, dedicated friends and above all - marvelous bad, bad, bad Kate Winslet. Enjoy this new series and don't forget - the easy way tends not be the right one.
