Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few years, you have driven past the movie theater, seen a commercial or even gone to see the phenomenon that is the Divergent. (Not to mention Theo James and his jawline!!!) I am going to be honest! I saw Divergent before I read the book, but to be fair, I didn't actually know it was a book. I had only seen the previews and thought it looked cool. As a result, I was blown away by the first installment and was enthralled once I discovered the amazingness that is Veronica Roth and her trilogy. (Got to see her at YALLfest too, and she was dressed as Draco Malfoy. It was quite amazing!) I think I read the entire series within a week. (Well... maybe a bit longer than a week.) And this was actually last year(ish.) I had seen Insurgent, thought it was amazing (Except for that :SPOILER ALERT: scene where Tris and Four had s*x. Totally didn't happen. In fact, :MORE SPOILERS: I'm almost positive that the OTP never consummates their relationship before one's untimely demise.WE WILL GET TO THAT IN A MOMENT!)
It's a Saturday night, and I am sitting in the movie theater watching the movie that I have been anticipating for almost a year. Very exciting, I know. Within the first 10-15 minutes of the film, I was pleasantly surprised by the likeness to the books, much like the other two movies. Then we started to get to the part where :SPOILER: the group of rebels begins to cross the wall. This is initially where things began to go down hill, yet I still had faith in the directors. Then we got to that weird invisible shield thingy... I mean, COME ON! Still, I powered through and didn't scream in frustration for the entire theater hear. (At least at that moment.) Still, the group went to the Bureau and more things happened that were so wrong, that I can't even begin to list the wrongs. LIONSGATE! I used to trust you with these things, and now I don't know if I can!!!
I mean, :LAST SPOILER: Tris doesn't die in the movie! You just ruined the whole entire concept of the book! (Basically, Tris dies in the book!) Yes, it was sad. I got tears all over the library book, but you can't just take out such a huge part of the book. I wanted to feel that pain again and see Four's loss, and how he is still strong even after losing her. Enough to face his fear of heights! HELLO! That was the beauty of the series. The loss, the tragedy. The Fault in Our Stars, Sirius in Harry Potter, A Separate Peace, ROMEO AND FREAKING JULIET! It makes you appreciate the book more and live with the pain. You have ruined me, Robert Schwentke. Like, did you even read the book? OBVIOUSLY NOT!
Literally, at the end of the movie I screamed out "What the heck? NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" and stomped out of the double doors at the back leavng my heart behind in a squeaky chair.
