Critics Consensus

Shailene Woodley gives it her all, but Insurgent is still a resounding step back for a franchise struggling to distinguish itself from the dystopian YA crowd.

Dwight Brown

National Newspaper Publishers Association

The visually pleasing third act saves this movie from oblivion, as it progresses to a surprisingly fulfilling ending.

In all, Insurgent may work as a deafening, frivolous diversion for viewers who can ignore the flimsiness of its universe, plot, and characters.

Vox

People are sad, people are mad, people are bad, and people will say exactly how they feel any chance they get. It's like a Bond villain crafted specifically to destroy whatever mystery still existed around the inner angst of young adult stories.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

Actors like Winslet and Watts have far too much talent to waste it here, whereas the script doesn’t allow for the talented younger supporting cast (namely James and Teller) to deliver much beyond one-note characterizations.

Rated: 1.5/4

Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast

While the film is an improvement on the book and features decent FX, it is tiresome to see so many high profile stars in underdeveloped roles while essentially repeating the plot of Divergent. Woodley makes this bearable, but she can't save it

Rated: 2.5/5

Insurgent falls short from its predecessor. It's heavy-handed themes lend themselves to overworked storylines and the lack of any true impact.

Rated: 2.5/5

I am not really the target audience of these movies. It was fine. Not great, sometimes not even good. But, not terrible. It kept me interested for 2 hours.

🍀 1.1/10 Im still kerfuffled on that stupid ah ending. A smidge better than the first but that’s not saying anything. The first act of this movie was alright I will admit, but once they get to the city it just goes downhill. bland uninspired and regretting my decisions since i sadly force myself to waste of time on the Truist of tragedies for sure 😞. also, these movies soundtracks suck just saying. Grade D-

Started to watch this series again and it still holds up today. This second installment of the series builds off the first in a great and unique way.

Misfire sequel. I think it should be better to read the book than the movie adaptation.
