Never a dull moment. Great casting!

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2014)

Just returned from seeing Divergent. I have seen this movie FOUR times now in a week. Love this movie! I am not in the age range of teen to twenties that they did the movie for. Sadly for me I'm well beyond those days, but LOVED the movie any way. Took some of my friends in their 30s and they loved it too. The theater has been so quiet during the movie. Everyone is so into the movie. This is the quietest I have heard a theater in years. I have not read the books yet but had an interest from the trailers and finding Theo James in the movie. The cast selection is wonderful. The cast all seem to have a chemistry together and were placed in the perfect roles for them to play. I very much enjoyed the story and am planning to read the first 2 books soon. This breaks my rule of reading the book before the movie but something Theo James said has my interest really peaked to read the second book too. Theo James blew me away in this movie. He has inspired me through his portrayal of Four to want to try to live life more and to attack my goal of losing weight again even though I had given up on myself. The movie is action packed! Never a dull moment. Keeps you on your toes wondering what will happen next. I find in most movies in the last 5 years or so that my mind wanders and I get bored during some point in the movie. This is not the case with Divergent. Two thumbs up and a YEEEHAW (I'm from Texas) from me. Can hardly wait for the second movie and for the Blu Ray so I can continue watching. If I had to compare to another movie of course Hunger Games comes to mind. I enjoyed those movies very much as well, but would choose Divergent over Hunger Games. It was just so tightly put together and ended in a fashion where it could be a stand alone movie and didn't leave you hanging like that's it!?! Thank you all and best wishes to the Cast and Crew!!! I read there was a lot of pressure to make this movie great. Mission accomplished!!! But, I imagine the pressure will be just as bad or worse to make sure the second movie is just as strong and solid. All my best to you!!! I have faith it will also be a grand slam! :)
