Knowing this film has been produced by Summit Entertainment, & how adaptations of teen novels are usually horrible (Except Hunger Games, no not Twilight, that sucks), I tried to keep my expectations low.But damn was I surprised! From the beginning till the end I was hooked. I found the pacing just fine. The people who complain about it being too slow are just folks who want every movie to be action all the time. The movie has plenty of action, but it also has humor, romance, drama, philosophy, and just general futuristic ingredients. The huge cast especially Shailene Woodley & Theo James do a fine job along with a brilliant soundtrack. Divergent is thought provoking, intense & basically just awesome! Go Watch it!
