Virag's Movie Reviews: Divergent (2014)

Ugh.  This was awful.  Divergent was highly anticipated around here.  (I was only able to avoid it in the theatre because the book had not been read yet, thus violating the book-before-movie rule.)  Hoo boy, though, it sucked.  The only competent thing in the whole flick was the casting of Ashley Judd as the mom; that worked.  The rest was dumb, derivative, and annoying.  I haven't read the book yet, but I'm being lobbied consistently; I guess the good thing is that the book can't possibly be any more wretched than the film adaptation.
