I saw the movie tonight, on opening night. It was okay. I've read almost all of the Divergent trilogy. The books are much better. They left out a lot of really important, juicy, details while making this movie. It was nice being able to visually see the movie, though, instead of just reading the books and picturing it for myself. It was nice to see the books through somebody else's creative lens. The acting was great, and the movie was over-all really good. They just left out a lot of really important details. I would still go and see it, though. Especially if you've never read the book--then you won't even notice that the juicy nice details are missing. -K

My main issue with Divergent (the book) was that I couldn't like Tris. One minute she would be totally selfless, the next she would kill without thinking. I just couldn't bring myself to accept her merciless nature. However, Shailene Woodley's acting in this film actually changed my mind. I now like Tris. Putting all that aside, though, this movie is definitely fast-paced, intense, and not for everyone. Fans of the book will love the parts that are adapted faithfully from the source material. This may not be the movie of the decade, but it's a ride you won't regret taking.

I was on the edge of my seat for the entire movie (didn't read the book.) It was captivating and interesting. Sister to Hunger Games for sure ~ same type of movie. Ages: 12-120 Well done! It seemed like the movie was only 1 hour long - time passed quickly! Loved the actors! Looking forward to the next one!

Took my daughter to see it on opening night since she is a big fan of the books. I have never read them so was not really sure what to expect. I found the movie to be very long and not a whole lot of stuff going on. I guess I expected more to be done about the Divergent angle and the society they were living in, but the movie was mostly dealing with Tris's training in her new faction. It had some good growth in the main character through out the movie, but I found I wasn't really that interested in her troubles. The end of the movie was the best part as it started to show more of the different ideals of some of the factions and what they are willing to do to gain power. It made me more interested in seeing what might happen next, if not for the hero/heroine then the society. I think they could have trimmed it down even more, but then since I was not comparing it to the book I do not know what parts were already missing and how that would affect the next 2 parts.

I think The movie was very well done. Some parts of the book were left out but it seemed to flow well. It was also easy to follow for someone who had maybe not read it. I plan to take my hubs to see it and will def buy the DVD when it comes out.
