I&#39;m not a big fan of the first two movies. I don&#39;t believe in the world being built by the franchise. It never made sense to me. In this sequel, the world is expanding and an explanation is presented. While this world is still problematic, it finally makes some internal logic. It&#39;s still dumb. I do like Woodley and she has the charisma to lead. This is not a favorite franchise to start and it&#39;s losing even more steam. Watching this sequel I found myself often speaking to the screen stating - &quot;knew that was coming&quot;. If this is the reaction I have to a movie, then it is pretty bad and this one is. But, let&#39;s get one thing out of the way first. Say what you will about Shailene Woodley but casting herthe lead in this series was wrong. She does not have the fire that a Tris should have. There are moments of determination that she displays in the appropriate scenes but that was about it. So this has been a distraction for me throughout. As farknowing what would happen ahead of time, there are multiple scenes where this is the case. I like to be surprised by the depth of thought that a writer had in constructing a scene to show that my simple mind was not imaginative enough to determine an ending to a scene which was unexpected. This is OK because that is what I pay for to see a movie. But in this one, I was rarely surprised with dramatic outcomes of critical scenes. This leaves me wondering who watched this before releasing it to the public, children ? I mean some adult executive had to screen this movie and had said - great, let&#39;s go with it. If you&#39;re wondering about the 4 star rating, I am a sucker for special effects and there were a few in this movie that were pretty good and enjoyable. Otherwise, pass on this one and hope another sequel is not in the works. It's a pretty dull picture, I must say, because it's my duty to say it. And it's a pretty dull picture, I must say, because something about its particular grade of dullness may cause memory loss.
