I caught this movie on cable the other night, simply because there was nothing else on that I wanted to watch. I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that I was entertained. I liked the story and the characters. Not saying it was a great movie, but certainly more than watchable.
I have not read the books and new very little about the story before watching.

kind of the cookie cutter girl power movie floating around these days but yeah, it was watchable and much better than I would have ever thought. I didn't watch it until my buddy watched it drunk and said it wasn't nearly as bad as he expected. Plus the girl is really a cute chick.

Seriously? Here are my thoughts on Divergent.
quote:The movie was bad. Everyone involved should feel bad.
The director, actors, writers, producers, set designers, costume people, stunt doubles, people who delivered food to the set, and humanity in general should feel bad about this.
Nothing in the movie made any sense. People are just running places while laughing and yelling and climbing things.
The whole premise made no sense either. The entire premise was dumb.
Oh, and Shailene Woodley is just awful.
Yes, I have only myself to blame for this.

I think that girl is fine

I couldn't finish it and that's rare for me

I don't wanna be that guy, but unless you're a girl in your early teens, Divergent's pretty awful.

It was Deep Impact to Hunger Games' Armageddon. Same topic, but overall a much shittier movie. Hunger Games was better in every regard including cast. And I realize we aren't exactly talking about the pinnacle of modern cinema here. 
I picked the book up on one of those Kindle fire sales and read the first one. I had no desire to continue the series.

I thought it was beyond bad.

I also watched Divergent a couple nights ago since it was on HBO. I saw the trailer, figured it would be entertaining at the least, and didn't really go into it with any expectations. I wouldn't classify it as a "good movie," but it certainly satisfied the entertainment factor.
I won't go out of my way to watch the next couple movies in theaters, but I'll probably watch them when they come out on DVD.
ETA: yes, beta as frick.

I watched this movie about a month ago because I thought it would be kinda like Hunger Games. I'm tired of these younger movies like Twilight where the female lead is just a weakling-my-life-means-nothing-without-a-man. So when Hunger Games came out, I was glad to see a strong female lead role. Divergent didn't exactly do it for me. I can't put my finger on what it was exactly about Shalene Woodley that I didn't like, but I really never started rooting for her like I did Katniss. Maybe I just didn't find her believable?
I will say that I reallllly liked Shalene in the Fault in Our Stars. It's on HBO right now if you want to make a comparison to her acting in this movie vs Divergent.

I felt the same way. Caught the movie on hbo and watched it on a boring night. It was decent. Not worth paying to see. When I figured out it was a series I read the books. The books are decent until the third one. After finishing the third book I probably won't watch the other movies unless they happen to be on for free. Terribly written. The second movie's trailer makes it look dreadful.

Seemed like a younger cousin of the hunger games

It's bad. Shailene Woodley was awful. She's not believable in the role or as a hero at all. Whoever cast her should be shot. She needs to stick to the innocent closet whore next door roles.
She has incredible tits though. Look them up.... Come to think of it, I might know how she landed his role...
