The much less accomplished sibling of THG

Rating: 1/10 (19 September 2018)

Having just finished all three books in the Divergent series I thought they were perhaps a little too detailed, too long. Not amongst the best books I've read. But having pressed play to see this movie I realise there were worse options.
I'm wondering most of all how true Roth really was to her original story when she agreed on changing so much of it for this.
It's as if she ripped her books apart and someone picked up pieces and glued them randomly together and said "let's make a film!".
It's as if a high school group of amateurs decided to reenact it and film it and somehow Hollywood bought it? Lacking everything from context, a fitting soundtrack, well done VFX, good actors (not even Winslet made me happy and definitely did not fit this role), the list goes on and on. But most important of all: so much has been cut off from the original that it lacks all kinds of depth that movies as well as books need to make it something great and make you FEEL it. Divergent the movie was nothing but a falling piece of crap that landed flat and never stood a chance with this rewritten script. This is the unwanted child of Twilight, as well as the less accomplished sibling of The Hunger Games.
I dare you to read at least the first book, and tell me I'm wrong in that this should've never been made. Why was it ever?
