DIVERGENT is a perfect example of a good book being made into a very good movie. I would put it on par with THE HUNGER GAMES and significantly better than THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES. It has great moments of suspense and intensity, the world building is top notch, and Tris's arc is played out very well.
If I had to say anything bad about the movie it's that Peter, Will and Al look so similar, if you didn't read the book you may have trouble telling them apart. Also, there are a couple of plot holes that will drive detail-oriented viewers crazy.
Fans of the book will really enjoy the movie as will fans of the dystopian young adult genre. Adults should not skip this movie thinking it's just another teen movie, it is definitely worth a watch.
FUN FACT: Be on the lookout for a Veronica Roth cameo. She shows up as a Dauntless.

Clint Says: Save some money and see a matinee
MUPPETS MOST WANTED is exactly what you expect from a Muppet
movie. Not much of a plot, not overly funny, but a lot of good music, good
cameos by several of Hollywood’s hottest stars, and enough humor to make the
movie enjoyable for kids and tolerable for adults.
