One of the best movie based flicks in a while

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2014)

The film is a fast paced action packed fun flick. Lots of one liners that really show the personalities of each character. Most impressed with Theo James as Four, also Shailene Woodley was the best Tris for those novel readers who may be questioning. However, some of the narration and choices of what was explained and what not was questionable. For example, I did not initially like the scene with Tris as a young girl, but thinking back -I believe it is good setup for people who did not read the book. However, the scene with Tris on the roof in Abnegation was pointless to everyone. I believe readers will all nitpick but the best part is how the feel of the movie matched the feel of the book. The lighting was good, and the Dauntless compound wasn't dark with blue lighting -which was my fear based on the description in the book. I was also glad to see that the setting all matched what I had in mind.
