Review of Insurgent (2015) by David_H — 05 Apr 2015

I read all the books so I knew where the story was going... for the most part. its been a couple years since I read it but it seemed like the movie "diverged" a bit from the book. nevertheless it was similar to the first movie in that it was well done, excellent casting, acting, and very good special effects and scenery. the main character Shailene Woodley continues her quiet internalizing of everything in her life, you could draw some similarities with the teen angst displayed by Kristin Stewart in the Twilight series, in fact it's exasperating at times and you just want Tris to "spit it out"!

I didn't give it better than a 6 simply because the whole thing is pretty dark, serious business, though you get some nice resolutions in the end. By the way, knowing where this goes in book 3, I'm tempted to call it quits here... i'm not sure I want to see the third movie.
