Loved It!

Divergent is thought provoking, psychological and an intense movie. I love the marketing behind the movie, where one can take a quiz to see which faction he or she would most likely represent. (It will be interesting to see if fans of divergent will model their primary faction by wearing similar colors and by purchasing and wearing the medallion that symbolizes their chosen virtue). It's amazing to me that those who elected to rate Divergent, compare it to "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight" trilogies.
I understand and get it... for this appears what human nature does... Yet, I believe it would be wise to rate "Divergent" independently of it's own cast, plot, content and adaptation. What is the point of comparing similar movies? To rip it to shreds? To manipulate or sway the readers opinion to your own?
Just as it isn't really fare to compare a new relationship to a previous one because each person IS Different, and it doesn't give the new person (movie) the chance to hold its own. I don 't believe it's wise to do this when critiquing "Divergent." (It doesn't have to be so black and white and or, all or nothing).
Lastly, I think it's interesting that as I write out my review, as I read and analyze other peoples opinions, I believe we are getting a small glimpse to who they are, what they believe and which faction he or she may value most.
