A Book-to-Movie review: Divergent

Today's review will be on:

MY REVIEW

THE GOOD STUFF

Although they made a few small changes (which I only noticed after thinking for a long while), most of them made sense, and kept the story like it was in the book.

Shailene Woodley did an amazing job as Tris, she was almost exactly what I had imagined Tris to be like.

I was a little unsure about Theo James as Four, the boy we all fall for, but he played the part perfectly! I give him a 10 out of 4! :)

Veronica Roth even got a cameo in the film! I had to do a double-take!

THE PROBLEMS

The only real problems that I had with this movie was the soundtrack. It did not sound like the book or movie I loved at all. The original score is great, but I felt like the soundtrack should've been more rocker, less techno/electronic.

ALL IN ALL...

The book was rightfully portrayed in this film, and I can't wait to see it again!

Well, that's all for now...

See you in the next one!
