Reasons the Divergent MOVIE pissed me off...
#spoilers
(not in order of importance)
~they left out wayyyyyyyy too many characters. like important characters like Uriah=important and Susanna=important. and even other people like Lynn, Marlene, Robert, Edward, Drew, and they barely mentioned Molly! would it really have been that hard to find actors?!
~Tori was in it, but they didn't even mention her name!
~in the book you absolute haaaaaaate Peter cause well he's evil! and in the movie they just make him seem like a jerk and that's it. NO! he is a cruel, cruel person and everyone should hate him.
~why the frick is Christina so short? she's supposed to be tall!
~why the frick is Tris tall? she's supposed to be short and have a not too matured body. But whatever i'll get over that one cause Shailene Woodley did a good job.
~if Veronica Roth made the effort to specify Will's eye and hair in the book...was it really too hard to at least dye the guy's hair blond?!
~some scenes were out of order. was that really necessary?
~they kept making you think "it was a dream". they were confusing people who hadn't read the book if what was happening was real or not. the book is not like that at all! you know exactly when they are in a stimulation and when they're not. the whole time my sister was like "wait is this a dream?". and i'd either say NO they're in a stimulation, or NO this is real! there are NO dreams! it was annoying.
~they only kissed during one scene and it was a short scene too! the book is not like that. Really hollywood, now you decide to clean things up?! #stupid
~Christina and Will are supposed to hook up...and do they? NO so you don't even think about feeling bad for Christina when Will dies, which is supposed to be a really sad reason that he died.
~Al is supposed to be fat.
~i won't even get started on the scene when the 3 other initiates try to kill Tris...it was all wrong!
~the pronunciation of the faction names and people are weird, but i'll get over it.
~you can't tell at all that Al likes Tris!
~they didn't do anything to show the friendship Tris and Christina have.
~it should've been longer.
Don't get me wrong the movie was still waaaaaaaay good. but they could've easily improved some stuff as discussed above :)
I agree wholeheartedly on all these things. A couple things to add to your list. They made Jeanine be way more involved when she wasn't even really introduced until the second book. And at the very end, they were supposed to kill Tris through her simulation fear, the one with the water tank. And in the control room it is only supposed to be Four and Tris, nobody else.
