Divergent! General thoughts? Book thoughts? Movie thoughts? Actor thoughts?

I marathon-read the trilogy in November 2013 and absolutely loved them! Divergent, however, was my favorite of the three. At first, I was a little unsure about the casting, but once I saw the movie I absolutely fell in love with them! I think Shailene Woodley makes a wonderful Tris as well as Theo James playing Four.

Only one way describe this. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
one of the BEST BOOKS EVER!
I will never forget this series, if it wasn't for Veronica Roth, I wouldn't have graciously stumbled into this amazing, fantabulous world of YA
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE TO FINALLY COME OUT IN AUSTRALIA IN 9 DAYS!! WHOOOO!!!and omg I love all the trailers and the music! :D
The movie is really great, Renée! It stays mostly true to the book but there are a few things taken out most likely for times' sake. I was so happy when I learned it was two and a half hours long!
OMG YAY!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! :D :D :DI'm going to see it for my birthday! :D
WHOO SO PUMPED!!!
I made a gif countdown for my tumblr today. :D
I literally finally just saw the movie last night (FINALLY OMFG I WAITED 2 FREAKING YEARS). anyways, i loved the movie and the book but i wish the book was better written
Yeah. I loved the storyline. After reading it I realised it was like the IDEAL storyline for me, but I hated the way it was written. I think it was written really badly (no offence) and I think it would have been so much better if it were written by someone like Susanne Collins or Jennifer L. Armentrout. I much prefer their styles of writing.
The movie is coming soon to my country, I'm excited.I liked the book a lot :P
The movie is coming out in like five days where I am. I can't wait!!
The movie is coming out in 9 days where I am!@Leah are you in U.K, Ireland, Poland or Mexico?
OMG I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE MOVIE!!!
and yeah, I also felt that Veronica Roth's writing style improved as she wrote, especially from Divergent to Allegiant.
But I agree, AMAAAAZING storyline. :D
Leah is in the UKNow I'm NOT a stalker, I just happen to be the one taking her to see it with me on Saturday the 5th April
-my mistake- the UK
Ye. On this occasion "Bookloverhugger" is not stalking me (nice name by the way, but it's so long! Why can't I just use your real name?). And thanks for taking me, I can't wait!!
Use my real name then fussy. I do not stalk you, where you get that idea from??? I introduced you to the YA books your currently reading, if it weren't for me, you'd never have come across this
Hah, you better be
Cocky? Really? Why say that when you know what I'm like???
No , no you can't
Whoa what happened to this Divergent discussion??? XD
Ikr like we all like books here so let's ignore the other stuff.
haI CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THURSDAY NEXT WEEK FOR DIVERGENT TO COME OUT IN AUSTRALIA!!!!
I have been watching all trailers and interviews and making gifs and pictures and listening to the songs and music. :D I get a bit obsessive. :D
The movie was AWESOME! It followed the books really well. I can totally understand why you would be a bit obsessive over it, because I know I was. By the way, what faction would you choose?
Lol. I love how this divergent discussion was just me and Rebecca arguing over whether I can call Bookhuggerlover, or Bookloverhugger or - getting away from the point - whatever her name is, I don't see how such a fuss was made over me calling her Rebecca. And then "Whoa, what happened to this Divergent discussion??" Lol.Back to the ACTUAL conversation, Rebecca's taking me to see Divergent on Saturday!! Can't wait!! Does anyone know if it's any good??
Sox, that last message didn't really make much sense. Is the acting good?? Does Shailene Woodley make a good Tris??
The movie was very well done (in my opinion), Leah. I believe Shailene did a great job portraying Tris and capturing her image. Multiple things were taken out, though. (unfortunately, no book-to-movie adaptation will be perfect.)
You know what, call me ANYTHING YOU WANT.whether that's bookloverhugger, Rebecca, any alternations your imaginative minds can create from Rebecca. Call me a chair for all I care (by the way now Leah I'm gonna call you ear from now on, yes that's right people EAR.) so yeh I'm taking EAR to see divergent. Say....what was this discussion about? I just hope the movies good cos otherwise that's a waste of like 14 quid.
Ugh, whatever you are, i told you I'd pay if you want. I don't mind. And don't call me Ear. My name is Leah. LEAH. Not EAR!!
I just watched the movie and it was so GOOD!! They did make quite a few changes but it made sense. The ending was brilliant and because it was different than the book I was on the edge of my seat! Everyone did such a great job!! :)
I'm still waiting for the movie to be on theaters in my country :S
Mod
How is the ending different?? ( and I just realised Leah rhymes with ear)
They changed it around, there was like a Tris vs Jeanine thing!! It was awesome :D
Sounds good, but why can't they just stick to the book??
Because it's a book to movie adaptation. It's never as good as the book
I guess so, but I don't see why they have to mess around with the storyline. I understand that they need to make it more exciting, but with do they change the story??
I don't like it and I don't know why, but it's just how it is, sadly.
I wonder, if they make allegiant a film, if they make tris die
They changed the ending because it was a explosive conclusion to the movie! The end of the book pretty much also happened with tris and Tobias fighting, they just added the Jeanine thing - which was cool!
Tris will still die :'( but they will probably make it more meaningful in the movie! They can't change the whole outcome of the series!
