Divergent Movie Review Spoiler Free

Apr 12, 2014

So on Monday I went to an Advance Screening of Divergent and starting writing this review. I cannot contain how excited I was going in and lets just say I was more excited when I come out.

I LOVED Divergent. It was brilliant. Not only does it appeal to teens, but adults as well. It was action packed with the perfect hint of romance that everyone loves.

The setting and the set were amazing. I cannot explain how much I loved it. It was so much like I pictured it to be, though I did imagine the Dauntless pit to be a little darker, but other than that. How all the buildings were demolished…amazing. (I am going to use the word amazing a lot in this review, sorry)

I actually really liked Shailene Woodley as Tris. I thought that she may be too quite, have s soft voice that Tris doesn’t have, but she surprised me. I love Shailene, don’t get me wrong. I loved watching in her in Secret Life of an America Teenager, but I didn’t know if she could pull off the ‘bad ass’ personality of Tris. She really was fantastic.

Theo James as Four…can I die right now. He was amazing. He had a perfect American accent. I was like gobsmacked at how I couldn’t hear his English accent at all since he has a pretty strong accent. His fighting skills were so good. The way he presented himself as instructor Four to the Four we see with Tris, was brilliant.

I loved all the other side characters as well. Everyone was perfect for the role they played.

The book to movie adaptation part… I think it was a really good book to movie adaptation. There were all those key scenes and characters. The mood I felt was so much like the book. The setting. I did have a few scenes that I wanted in the movie but sadly they weren’t.

I wish they would have enhanced the friendship between Tris and Al, to add the effect I think it had in the book when he betrays her.

The ending. I loved the ending more in the movie then I did in the book. I felt very disconnected with the characters in Divergent book but in the movie I did feel more of the connection with I think helped a lot with the ending sequence.

The fighting elements of the whole movie were epic. I loved them. I love fighting scenes in movies. I love all action movies. But this ending was so good and you cannot take your eyes off the screen for even a second as you could miss something.

I also loved the costumes and how you could tell the difference between each faction by the way they dress, the way that they present themselves, and just everything.

I really did enjoy the movie a lot. I think that both fans and non fans will really enjoy this movie. I know that out of the 4 other people I went with, only one had read the book and the other 3 want to read the books after watching the movie and 2 of them don’t like to read.

Overall it was a really enjoyable, action packed (somewhat) thriller.

Divergent is now in cinemas in Australia and New Zealand.

Vampire Academy Movie Review Spoiler Free

Mar 6, 2014

So I just came home from the movies not that long ago and I was going to tweet my reactions but I thought why not make a post about it.

Well after waiting 6 years for Vampire Academy, today seemed to drag on but then I was finally sitting in my seat at the movies. I just could not contain my excitement haha.

So here we go…

The Cast! I loved the cast they were just perfect. I cannot explain. I was always very open minded on who played who, I didn’t really have someone in mind. So I pretty alright with whom was chosen, but man they were just so good.

Zoey is such a good Rose, her sarcasm, her wit, her looks. I cannot explain it.

Lucy as Lissa, she is just a cutie, even though they made her a little different from the book in the sense of her attitude I still liked her.

Danila OH MY GOSH, his smile, his accent just oh my gosh. I am so glad that they cast someone who is Russian!

Dominic, man he is Christian, that is all I have to say.

All the other side characters I really enjoyed as well, Sarah as Natalie, Cameron as Mason who I really wanted to see more off, but then again he wasn’t in the first book that much.

I think it was an okay book to movie adaptation it wasn’t the best but I was not expecting that. I loved hearing lines from the book, as well as scenes. I really wanted more of some scenes, hope this is not a spoiler but the start of the movie where we have the car crash scene just wish it was a little more.

The setting, omg the school looked like how I imagined it, it was really good.

The Chemistry between Rose and Dimitri was just so damn cute. It’s bad we squeal. Christian and Lissa, damn my heart, they are just so perfect. Oh and Mason. Rose and Christians friendship. I loved it!

The last fighting scenes were epic, it was so intense and when Victor held Lissa captive, just how I imagined it. The psi-hounds man they looked creepy.

I really liked the visual effects in the sense of the fire, water, air …. elements they were pretty cool.

The only thing that I really had a problem with is the pace, I just think it went way to fast, it was like one scene then bam! Another scene. I really think they need to slow it down maybe even make it a little longer.

I also like that Rose’s protection for Lissa really showed through. Their friendship, the bond, which by the way I loved they way they did it.

I got so many feels the film. I wanted to just jump out of chair screaming and squealing so many times, it was pretty funny. Those scenes like in the book that I fangirled, *cough* *cough* ‘Roza’ ‘Lust Charm’ and so on haha.

Overall I really enjoyed it apart from the little things here and there and really hope that they make Frostbite because I cannot wait to see how they can fix the little things here and there. And gosh Frostbite is pretty action packed.

I Give Vampire Academy the Movie 4 Starts out of 5!
