Critics Consensus

With an adherence to YA formula that undercuts its individualistic message, Divergent opens its planned trilogy in disappointingly predictable fashion.

I loved this movie and the whole franchise. This movie gave the viewer a thriller of a ride with each plot twisting decision. Each scene with an exhilarating decision that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. The acting with Shailene Woodley and Theo James was phenomenal and built up great connection with their characters. The ending to this movie was perfect in the way that it sets up the next movie perfectly leaving you in your seat waiting for whats next.

So so good, one of my favourite all time dystopian movies. There is lots of violence, not recommend for younger viewers. Really long plot with lots of ups & lots of action to keep you interested. The casting is perfect!!

This is just pretty much bad and boring from start to finish with pretty much nothing to redeem it.

The film is more interesting than the average bad movie precisely because it so gratuitously, and even thematically, fails to fit together.

This is a rite-of-passage film, with action, romance and self-realization woven in. But unlike some others of this genre, Divergent is thought-provoking teen sci-fi.

Reel Talk Online

... Divergent, despite multiple claims otherwise, tries to capture the format of The Hunger Games but completely phones in almost each element.

There have been far more compelling metaphors for the trials of adolescence.

This slick-looking, but shallow slice of sci-fi features a certain amount of Harry Potter-esque HufflePuff...

Divergent is Hunger Games light, but Woodley and James bring some heat to the leads and it's fun watching Kate Winslet sneering her way through a villainous role.
