Review of Divergent (2014)

By Chris Bumbray (988) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 20 Mar 2014

While the tween and teen target audience will probably love it and make it a hit, it fails to measure up to THE HUNGER GAMES…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Graham Killeen (120) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 20 Mar 2014

Director Neil Burger cinematically steamrolls the potholed yet powerful source material, buffing his film adaptation to a gooey asphalt sheen…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 20 Mar 2014

Except for Kate Winslet's fearsome turn as a villain, the only terror Divergent roused in me was that the drag-ass thing would never end…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Anna Storm (53) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 20 Mar 2014

those same events that elicited thrills in the novel, and probably read like gold on the script's paper, fall terribly, even comically,…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Steve Persall (1,105) for Tampa Bay Times (1,287) on 20 Mar 2014

A sequel needs to hit the ground running faster than Divergent does. Find more notes for Woodley's elegantly plain face to express…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Tom Shone (158) for Guardian (4,584) on 20 Mar 2014

How Orwellian is college? Very, if Divergent is to be believed…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Travis Hopson (923) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 20 Mar 2014

The world of Divergent is so bereft of stakes, momentum, and originality it becomes as taxing as the aptitude tests suffered by the lead character…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Mike Ryan (265) for TIME Magazine (1,130) on 20 Mar 2014

For a film that supposedly celebrates freethinking, there’s a woeful lack of it here…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 20 Mar 2014

It will likely connect with fans of the book simply because it delivers on the cinematic promise of the story they loved but it's a pantomime,…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 20 Mar 2014

With action scenes that can't raise a pulse, an expectedly chaste romance, and plodding, formulaic expansion of its mythology, Divergent has…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Marshall Fine (1,011) for Hollywood & Fine (854) on 20 Mar 2014

It's not bad ... but not great either..seems to be marking time until the story really kicks in, which doesn't happen until the final 20 minutes…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 20 Mar 2014

Woodley makes Tris easy to root for — only she and Winslet seem to be having any fun — but it's hard to become invested in the convoluted,…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Fred Topel (1,193) for CraveOnline (813) on 20 Mar 2014

I just called Divergent boring. Does that make me Dauntless…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Rafer Guzman (1,080) for Newsday (2,345) on 20 Mar 2014

Somewhat silly and teen to the extreme, but Woodley and James are surprisingly strong. It's up to them to keep this hopeful franchise alive…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Nell Minow (2,357) for Beliefnet (937) on 20 Mar 2014

It is fun to see Tris come into her own. She knows you do not have to be harsh to be strong, or weak to be kind…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Jeffrey Lyles (696) for Lyles' Movie Files (591) on 20 Mar 2014

It doesn't take long to get the sense that the filmmakers desperately want this to be the next 'Twilight,' 'Harry Potter' or 'Hunger Games…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Chris Hewitt (2,086) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 20 Mar 2014

If you're looking for a movie that faithfully reproduces the book, Divergent is the slightly unwieldy adaptation for you…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 20 Mar 2014

A cogent testament to its overall success: when the movie ends, the urge lingers to find out what will happen next…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Kenneth Turan (2,323) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 20 Mar 2014

It's an acceptable, play-it-safe version of the first volume in the hugely popular Veronica Roth-written trilogy…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Genevieve Koski (68) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 20 Mar 2014

At 140 minutes, Divergent is too bloated to be consistently exciting, but it’s relatively agile between its many exposition-dumps, at times…
