I don't really have high expectations for films based from book
trilogies. So I wasn't expecting much from the Divergent Series, but I did find
some entertainment value in the first 2 installments, enough to make me want to
follow this trilogy to the end. However this 3rd installment ruined what the
first 2 movies had going for it...smh.
It's not that the first 2 movies were
great, but they were at least halfway decent. This movie however was a snore
fest. There was very little excitement in this film. The story was dull, and
action scenes were scarce. I although initially I didn't feel Shailene Woodley
was the best fit for Trist, in the first 2 movies her performance shifted these
thoughts, and made her enjoyable to watch. Unfortunately this installment only
showed how unfit she is as Trist. She was just seemed dull and tired. Four was
enjoyable, but all the action scenes involved him, pushing his character way
over the top. The story was far less interesting than the first 2 movies,
seeming to repeat the same cycle...Ugh. At a running time of over 2hrs, I could
not wait for this nonsense to end.
I was hoping this movie was going to be
better than what it was, but I left the theater more than disappointed. If you
are following this series, I would wait for this installment to hit Redbox, or
reach cable TV. Nothing about it is worth paying for a movie ticket to see...F+
