Divergent
Having
just read the book as usual the movie is a disappointment. Not that
it's a particularly bad movie, but because of necessity it cuts so
much of the detail that made the book such a good read. Don't get me
wrong, Theo James as Tobias is handsome and Shalene Woodley as
Beatrice is impressive but so much of their interaction including
their romance is truncated in the movie. As usual certain scenes are
altered to move the plot along. No matter how good CGI and stunt
actors may be your imagination is always better. Mind you the ride
down the zip line is spine-chilling.
The
remainder of the crew are not as well cast and most of the other
initiatives play background roles.
