Alright! Has anyone seen the movie yet?

 

I'm personally, a giant fan of the book series. I thought the movie was overall amazing!

 

It got kind of confusing at some parts if you didn't read the book. Especially because a male protagonist looked almost exactly like a male antagonist. That was probably the only thing that kinda bothered me.

 

I mean, I could understand how someone couldn't like it but...

 

I thought it was an overall not bad movie

 

I thought it was 10/10 pretty great. What did you guys think?

I had to read the book last summer for a summer reading assignment. I thought it was an all right book, I'm just not interested enough to see a movie of it.

I... Um... I guess I tolerated the book. Personally it just seemed like another Teen Post-Apocalyptic Adventure Story with a more ridiculous and boring premise than usual. The whole "You have more than one dominant personality trait, therefore you are the messiah and apparently dangerous for some reason" thing didn't really gel with me. It didn't help that the writer seemed to REALLY dislike intellectuals, and tried her best to demonize them as much as possible. I couldn't even read the third book, let alone drop $11.50 on seeing the movie adaptation.

One of my friends just saw it and she loved it, however, judging by the trailers, it looks..................corny, tbh.

I'm a huge fan of the books!  I met Veronica last October in Chicago.  I went and saw the movie twice this weekend!  It was really good.  They seemed to leave out a couple initiates, but nothing that really stood out.

No I haven't seen the movie or read the books yet, planning on watching the movie in April with friends though and reading the books soon. Can't believe anyone haven't made a meme or something with Divergent with Die Virgin yet xD

I've read the book and it comes out in 4 days in the UK

 

I was worried from the trailer tho, I wasn't sure that who they have picked as the actors would turn out good!

 

But you have put my mind at ease a bit I will be seeing it soon !

Well I haven't read the book that is to say, but I think the movie could be good, I mean what can go wrong without reading the book?

I've never read the books. I saw the movie the other day, and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought it would.

 

It was a good movie, but it did have its flaws. What movie doesn't though?

 

Anyways, this movie gave off a strong hunger games vibe to me. The whole story about the strong girl fighting against an evil government, and some romance thrown in there. Still, the movie had an interesting enough story none the less.

 

With movies like this and the Hunger Games, I'm always more interested about the world/lore than I am about the actual characters themselves. Assuming this movie is post-ww3, how is Chicago still standing? I'm assuming Nukes went off. You'd think Chicago would be one of the first places to go. What about the rest of the world? Other countries? I'd assume all American cities that survived use the whole 5 faction system. A friend of mine who read the books told me that the US government set it up before the war.

 

Anyways, I don't get why they made the whole 5 faction system. A person shouldn't just be brave, kind, or whatever.

Finally, I hear this movie has made a lot of money so far. I hope that means we'll get a Sequel. The Hunger Games only has 2 movies left then it's over. This series seems like it can fill the void that I'll have to fill once the Hunger Games is over.

The other two books are planned to be made into movies as well.
