Review of Insurgent (2015) by Thegodfatherson — 21 Mar 2015
Insurgent fares better on the action side, than on the story side. The characters are not explored on, the guns are fired more often and Tris got a boy cut. That is the difference between Divergent and Insurgent.
The flabby writing holds the movie down but the "ohmygosh" scenes factor rises and it delivers good acting from Woodley, James and Elgort. What doesn't click, is that the story is rummaged through the action scenes, which makes Insurgent another science fiction action flick that features, a bad score, cheesy twists and a flabby, yet interesting plot.
Kate Winslet has lost all her charm, Four is less badass, and Miles Teller is in this again for some reason. Director Robert Schwnetke improves over his horrible, R.I.P.D and directs better, with slick camera shots are more emotion as an extra.
Overall, Insurgent is a step down from it's complex predecessor, that features flabby writing and story, okay acting and a bad music score. There is a lot of action though.
