AMAZING! Completely sucked in. (& I read the books)

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2014)

WATCHED IT IN THEATERS TWICE! I really couldn't get over it. Was not disappointed. 2 hours and a half, really went by fast and wish it lasted longer.
When I first heard about this movie was when I saw a trailer last year, and this world just seemed so interesting and it completely captivated me. This hadn't happened to me in such a long time from a trailer, and I have good instincts of knowing a good movie (at least I'll know if I'll like it.) I really couldn't wait so I read the books.
Eh, in all honesty, I kinda do wish I hadn't read the books before I saw the movie OR at least had read it a long time ago and forgot every detail. Because every detail of the book was still fresh in my mind and I had imagined it a certain way without even noticing. I really couldn't help compare each scene to the book. It's okay though, the second time I didn't do that I just appreciated it as a movie
On that note, I think Theo James captured and portrayed Four P E R F E C T L Y. He did it in a way that I didn't imagine, so yes it was a little different, but he embodied the essence of Four's character, with every manner and mannerism. Shailene Woodley played Tris really well also! She was different from what I imagined, but at the same time, the same.
The actors are good, the production is good, the soundtrack is okay to me, but it wasn't bad or anything.
I REALLY LOVE THIS MOVIE. Before I read the books I thought the romance would take away from the identity of the female character, like it would just become a romance film, but nope! They make each other stronger, and I kinda am in love with Four. It has a good an interesting plot & storyline, good action scenes, and funny moments. I think it's a really different and unique movie. I really would not compare the story to Hunger Games. I liked Hunger Games, read it too, but I think this is better.
My friends who hadn't read the book really loved it too (though they would've been slightly confused if I hadn't explained stuff, but I think they would've been okay), and some of my guy friends like it too. I know this doesn't represent everyone of the male gender, but hey I thought it's knowing a guy can like it too and they thought Four was cool.
I want the next movie to come out now!!! And I want this on DVD <3
