Divergent film review!

So I went to see Divergent yesterday, and for the build up to it I was super exited, I was wearing my dauntless jumper, my bracelet and my dog tags, dressed as dauntless with my two friends. We were full of energy, full on fangirling! We ended up getting there an hour early so we could get the best seats, so while we were waiting we were just getting more and more exited.

I didn't really feel like I could enjoy the movie a great deal, because first off, my friend is really emotional, and because she read the books, she knew the things that were going to happen, like when Tris tells Al to never go near her again, she knew what would come. So she kept crying, leaving me and my other friend in hysterical fits of laughter. Then we couldn't stop pointing out all the things they missed out, which to be honest was a lot, and they made so many changes, that I didn't feel necessary, like when Eric telling Tris she's out, the paint balling scene, the scene towards the end at the Dauntless compound with Jeanine, and because they missed the bit where all the initiates go into an instructors fear landscape, they didn't add in Tris' fear of being taken.

I really was quite upset and confused as to how many characters they missed out, like Edward and Uriah, because I feel that they play quite a big part in the other books, so I was quite confused as to how they would work them into the other films, avoiding confusion. I also didn't think they gave some characters enough time for you to learn anything about them, like Peter, he didn't seem that bad In the film, so for anyone who hasn't read the book won't really understand what he's actually like, and they didn't really show how Al was going through such a bad time, or that Christina and Will even had a relationship, which may cause some issues in the other films as Tris and Christina fall out because well, she shot her boyfriend, but people who haven't read the books wont get that.

However, I really did like the movie, I know it might not sound like it, but I really did. The film alone was great, the actors were great and I think they captured their characters as best as they could given the scenes and alteration put in. I think I could have enjoyed it more if I hadn't read the book, because the film was good, there's no doubt about it. I just feel that they took away some of the main and key scenes and added a few things that didn't really need to be added.

And of course I'll be going to see it again ;). Let me know what you thought of the film!:) Sorry if you feel like I have just completely dissed the film, because although It doesn't sound like I liked it, I really did!:)
