Insurgent

Even after all these years, that haircut for Tris still feels like it should have been ILLEGAL

7.5/10 - Not as good as the first one. Quite some action and a few twists but it wasn't that good/special.

Tbh the scenes I liked the most are all about revenge: When Tobias beats and then kills Eric, when Tris beats Peter, and when Evelyn kill Jeanine. I disliked all three of these characters pretty much from the point they've been introduced in the first movie.
The main non-revenge scene I liked was the trial at Candor.

But the most satisfying thing was when the irony was on Jeanine :D

Gee, Peter can be so annoying... :o
"Ok, yeah. Ok. Every man for themselves."
I mean I can't really blame him for wanting to survive and not choosing to be part of their dangerous mission but he doesn't need to always be such a "dick" about pretty much everything...

I like the short hair of Tris btw.

It was a mistake to let Caleb go so easily! It didn't make sense to continue dragging him along but I didn't see any chance for him to return to a "normal" life. I would've assumed that they'd either kill/imprison him or use him to get to Tris. Letting him go wasn't smart IMO.

"No more secrets."
Well, I guess the truth did set Tris free but taking the truth serum must've still been so painful... :o
"Thank you for your candor."
At least Christine managed to forgive her quite fast :)

I didn't feel bad for Eric when Four shot him. It would've been nicer to convict him but that seemed like the safer option at that time (he's just too dangerous due to his position and he's so "evil").


Caleb means well but unfortunately he can be quite convoluted/brainwashed sometimes (especially for considering himself "selfless" for "sacrificing" Tris).

Peter's somewhat weird plan to fake Tris' death did work surprisingly well but in the end it only bought them additional time (which was essential but quite a lucky coincidence...).
The best part was when Tris and Four broke back in and that guy almost shot Tris. That would've been so stupid :D I would've loved to see Jeanine's reaction to that though!

The end is so epic: "You were wrong. About us. We were never the problem. We're the solution."
And "these [the ones who transcend] will be the Divergent."
Let's see who's outside the wall.

I'm kinda glad that Evelyn shot Jeanine btw. Jeanine would deserve to rot in prison but her bad influence seems so dangerous that her death might be for the best... This certainly doesn't put a good light on Evelyn though :o I guess Four was right about her! (But hopefully also that she's the lesser evil.)

I enjoyed this more than Divergent. The special effects were awesome and Tris proved even more to be a very heroic character. The plot felt deeper than Divergent felt to me.

Sadly the Divergent Trilogy is going a bit downhill here. Now I must say that the acting from everybody was decent though I feel that they could have made more use of Octavia Spencer as she is absolutely amazing but was given quite a small role and could have been used more.

The visual effects were good I suppose but the ending fight sequence was appalling in terms of CGI. The story was ok aswell but overall it felt more like it was focusing too much on hyping it up for the third movie rather than focusing on its own plot.

Perfectly acceptable entry in the YA franchise. Only non Divergents failed to enjoy it.

Storyline is a little flat, no much really happens, BUT, the special effects team have done an awesome job; very cool!

I mean I really love some parts where Triss shows strong sad/broken/angry feelings because you could really see the pain in her. Im just a little disappointed in how the movie was overall. It had some reeeally cliche moments, the ''action'' was not that powerful. It was all really messed up compared to the story and the first movie. They could have done a great movie but unfortunately, it just didn't blow me away really. The good parts in this movie was 7-8/10- But the whole movie was a little meh, so I give it somewhere around 6/10

A good second instalment, but I do feel it's dragging out a bit. Miles Teller makes this series for me - his comedic, class clown/bully character adds a funny touch to an otherwise serious dystopian drama.

It seems this is a 3 part trilogy;
Divergent (2014)
Insurgent (2015)
Allegiant (2016)
