I agree, however I feel that final movie wasn't done as good as the first two. Aside from the change from the final book, it seemed lackluster.

Ah. You have a really solid point here. Looking back at it, this seemed to be part of the issue.Nazzo wrote: ↑26 Jan 2022, 15:13The movies did absolutely no justice for the books. I think the casting was one of the main problems. The female lead seemed a bit bland to me. Another reason I think why the movies tanked is because there were so many post apocalyptic movies that were coming out at that time (like Hunger Games) and people just got a bit bored of the genre.Sarah_Khan wrote: ↑29 Jan 2016, 19:55 I would like to know if you read the Divergent series by Veronica Roth and watched the movies that have come out and what you thought of the movies? Did the movies do justice to the book? Also did you read the books before or after you watched the movies?

I doubt this is true. There were so many things omitted from the movies that were in the books and the movies eventually branched to a different direction. Though, I can understand your view because some people do not like endings where the main characters die so that may have contributed to your enjoyment of the movies more?Shridhar S wrote: ↑05 Jan 2022, 11:44 Obviously, I watched the Divergent movie before I read the book like I always do. And in my opinion, the movie wasn't just good, it was better than the book. The movie had so much suspense and mystery! It totally captured my interest.

I personally think the books were just fine though and if those details were omitted we would have been left with more unanswered questions. I might have to read the book again to see if I'll have a different opinionRachel Kubus wrote: ↑20 Dec 2021, 22:18 Definitely feel like the actor choices were great choices for what I imagined from when I read the books! That is one of the most important things in making a good book to movie transition. The ending was not the same as the books, but I do feel like the books got unnecessarily complicated with details. I think Roth could’ve wrapped up the series in a simpler way like the movies did.

The books are better. Much better. I loved the first movie divergent but I found the others lacking. They were not as good as the book.Sarah_Khan wrote: ↑29 Jan 2016, 19:55 I would like to know if you read the Divergent series by Veronica Roth and watched the movies that have come out and what you thought of the movies?

I kept biting my lip fearing that something bad was going to happen but no. The movie took me by surprise and I ended up watching it multiple times

I would say the movie took it to another level all- together. It's an enthralling movie to watch and the author did justice to it.Sarah_Khan wrote: ↑29 Jan 2016, 19:55 I would like to know if you read the Divergent series by Veronica Roth and watched the movies that have come out and what you thought of the movies?
