Insurgent
I didn't finish reading Insurgent, but I think they changed it a lot
They did change some things, but I for the most part it looks accurate. I haven't read the books since last summer, so I can't be precise.
But I'm still excited

Till the end of the line.
As you'll recall, I enjoyed the first movie a great deal, but after the fact. I didn't appreciate it immediately, it took a few days to grow on me. And just as a movie I actually still don't think it's overly spectacular (I haven't gotten around to seeing it a second time yet, my position on that might improve once I do), but my great enjoyment wasn't of the movie itself, but of the story and the deep contemplations it sparked after giving it thought in the days after seeing it. Once I really began 'getting' it my opinion climbed higher and higher, and eventually it ended up being one of my favorite movies of the year. I don't think another movie has made me have such great philosophical musings before. I really love it.
But all that established, I find to my bewilderment that I don't seem to have any real enthusiasm to see this next movie. I will, but just out of mild interest in continuing the story, not a driven desire to jump onto the series for its own sake.
Which kind of disappoints me. Once I came around on the first movie I wanted to be able to become excited about the series as a whole, I thought that would naturally follow, but it just didn't for whatever reason. I'm definitely a fan of Divergent, but I have no stance as yet on anything beyond it.

I didn't like the first one and the 2nd just looks worse to me.
Like I said in the first thread I had no idea this was a series, so I have no idea where the story is going from here. Having no context for trying to figure out anything I was seeing, I had just two reactions to the trailer:
Her mom isn't dead? That can't be. It definitely shouldn't be anyway, that would be really dumb to bring her back. I'm thinking this must be a dream, or another one of those vision inducing things.
I'm not a fan of the new haircut.

it is a simulation, so her mom isn't really alive.bookworm wrote:Like I said in the first thread I had no idea this was a series, so I have no idea where the story is going from here. Having no context for trying to figure out anything I was seeing, I had just two reactions to the trailer:

the haircut is okay, just reminds me of her previous role in The Fault in Our Stars
edit: wow, I finally saw this movie and I liked it. I didn't necessarily mind the changes. it was still good

I did see this and take some quick notes I wanted to comment on, I just never got around to expanding on them and posting. Better late than never.
