I tried.
Wanting to give the film a chance, I went and saw
Divergent this weekend. Having become a fan of
The Hunger Games after the movie came out, I've been going to see other movies based on Young Adult books. So far however, lightning hasn't struck twice.
Beautiful Creatures was awful and
City of Bones was an incoherent mess. Though not as awful as those two,
Divergent doesn't come off much better.
When I looked up the movie online afterwards, it had a
www.clickthecity.com user rating of 5 stars. I couldn't believe it, until I remembered the 143 minutes or so I spent watching the movie in the theater. Even at 10:30 am, fan girls were out in force and squealing with glee every 90 seconds or so.
Did “Four” (that’s the lead's name, seriously) take off his shirt?
SQUEAL!
