So far 'Divergent' has been negatively received by critics, with most noting its inability to successfully adapt onto the big-screen and its bland, predictable content.
"The movie version of Divergent is no divergent. It goes along to get along. It's tame, formulaic and strictly by the book in every sense," Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune comments.
Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine is as equally as unimpressed, as he states, "The film transcends the déjà vu of its borrowed trappings but ironically sacrifices all momentum in favor of a long series of physical tests."

Andre Barker of Variety adds, "Even though it stretches to nearly two-and-a-half hours and concludes with an extended gun battle, by the time "Divergent" ends, it still seems to be in the process of clearing its throat."
Divergent will hit theatres on the 21st March.
