Summary: Beatrice Prior must confront her inner demons and continue her fight against a powerful alliance which threatens to tear her society apart with the help from others on her side.

My Thoughts: I think it was because I barely remember what happened in the book, but I really enjoyed this movie a lot more than the first one in the series, Divergent. Okay, so the chemistry between Four and Tris wasn't there as much as it was in the first movie and I know that their chemistry is kind of amazing throughout the book series, but what can I say! Tris's but kicking was inspiring! She was one tough mofo from beginning to end and I want to be Tris Prior without the crazy rage fits.

Wait scratch that, I want to be who Tris is by the end of the movie. Her character development is what made me really fall in love with this series all over again. Like I said before, I couldn't remember much of what happened in the book and the first movie was good but not great, so my hype over the series was dying down. I'm glad to say that this is no longer the case after leaving the theater.

And can we just talk about how friggin awesome Sienna Miller was? Can we discuss her's as well as Kate Winslet's brilliance? Winslet slayed as the baddie once again (did we expect any less?) and Miller was great as the strong but silent type that a  factionless rebellion can really rise up and stand behind.

This was a much better movie than Divergent, in my opinion. It's pacing was more on point, the characters were more likeable and relatable, and the action scenes got my heart racing every time.  It gave me renewed fervor to want to finally get to Allegiant. And if you had worries about whether or not this movie would be the same calliber as the previous one, I can assure you that it was indeed much more BA and amazing.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
