Ok so this movie was OK. As usual I would have liked the movie better if I hadn't read the book. But in my eyes as a fangirl this movie was missing and adding way too much. I would give it 6/10 stars. There are all those details that I noticed that were missing or all the stuff they added, that just bothered the heck out of me. 
Spoilers do not read below if you have not yet seen the movie and you don't want it to be spoiled
So here's something to ask people who say they love Divergent, oh yeah? what is the significance of a butter knife, huh? Like seriously, the butter knife is missing, really?! Also Uriah, no Uriah. And No Lynn and Marlene. Like I saw Lynn's name on the score bored but that was literally it. Caleb is supposed to kinda believe Tris when she comes to him, and all throughout the movie they're just like You're Divergent that's dangerous, it could kill you, they remind Tris that way too many times. And how could Tris be scared of intimacy if she had it the night before? Also like 'you have to take the Dauntless way out'?! What was that?! Like seriously in Tobias's fear landscape they do jump off the building, then in the box they crouch together so it gets smaller and smaller. Then In her fear landscape she makes a gun, not swatting at them with a branch, then she does break the glass, and to put out the fire, she calls down rain, then she climbs the rocks, the Tobias part was kinda realistic, but she never shot her family! WTF!!!!! And she never gets kicked out of training. And she faints after she gets attacked. So many things they were missing. and she never meets with Jeanine and makes her shut down the computer! Seriously! I just think they could have done a lot better. But overall, it was pretty good at following the book, I guess, well comparing to how much City of Bones followed the book, yeah, it really followed the book.
