The Fault in Our Stars



My Thoughts:

-    I really enjoyed this movie! I don't say this lightly either. I'm not a chick flick person, but this was good. It was a great adaptation of the book, and it was really accurate. 

-    I actually enjoyed the movie more than the book! I felt a lot more emotions while watching the movie. The book didn't make me cry but the movie did. I laughed a lot more too.

-    Ansel Elgort made this movie! His portrayal of Gus was SO good! He had so many great moments.

-    I really liked Isaac. He was like a reincarnated Ducky from Pretty in Pink! It was awesome!

-    I don't know what it is about this Woodley chick. I like her, but she isn't amazing. I felt the same way about her being Tris in Divergent.

-    I think the casting timing was not good. Ansel and Shailene play siblings then lovers then siblings again. It's weird.

-    This was a very heartfelt and cute movie. I recommend getting to a theater and purchasing a ticket for this.

Divergent



My Thoughts:

-    I didn't like it.

-    Four was good. I pictured him bigger, but the character was portrayed.

-    Tris was okay.

-    There were too many characters for a movie. We didn't get to know Al or Will very well. What happened to Al wasn't as devastating in the movie as it was in the book.

-    The chasm was weak sauce! 

-    Peter was weak sauce too! He wasn't ruthless enough. No one got stabbed in the eye!

-    It was a little slow and boring at parts. The ending was good, but they messed some things up.

-    Will and Al looked too much alike. I hate it when they do that in movies. Side characters should be easily recognized. 

-    I liked the zip line. It was a longer and more intense ride than in the book, but I liked it. 

-    I liked how the factions were portrayed. They did a good job creating the futuristic Chicago.

-    I probably won't buy this movie, and I don't really care to see it again, but it was worth seeing once.
