I Agree[edit]

I was unaware of all the notability guidelines and didn't fully review all the necessary things before accepting the article that I wanted created. I agree that this page should be deleted until such time that principal photography has taken place. Peter Davenport (talk) 04:52, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and included most of this article in the original article for the book under the Adaptation section. here

TheLastElection14.com -- marketing site?[edit]

Does anyone know if the Divergent website having the identical timer countdown as TheLastElection14.com means that the latter is just a marketing site for the former? That seems to be the theory @ http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message2511567/pg1 142.229.81.9 (talk) 17:27, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews[edit]

41% is not mixed! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.32.73 (talk) 23:06, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The 41% at Rotten Tomatoes is not a 41/100 rating. The average rating is 5.4/10. It means 41% liked it (they call it "fresh"). The reception is mixed; read the entire Critical response section. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 02:39, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It would be good if the quotes reflected the mixed reception; they're too focused on the positive at the moment. IntriguingStar (talk) 09:15, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Action film - D:<[edit]

This is a lie. Divergent is no action film and people know it. You guys think it's an action movie because they have guns? Bullshit! Give me some evidence by some mute jackasses that think this awful thriller film is an action movie. I'd be humored by whatever is thrown at me -Theironminer (talk) 21:33, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, you are in error. IMDB places it as Action, Adventure and Sci-Fi. Now, do be civil.20.137.2.50 (talk) 00:32, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB is not a reliable source, actual sources need to be displayed, IMDB is not a good resource. - Theironminer (talk) 04:17, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Box office mojo and the film's own marketing both use action-adventure. Also, the film does contain what can only be described as action sequences, irrespective of your personal opinion of how well executed those sequences are (and at just 41% positive, plenty of critics agree with you!)

Plot: Main Character is 'Divergent'[edit]

In an earlier edit, an editor removed the sentence that introduced the concept of the secret, Divergent faction. Added sentence to introduce the faction of the Divergent class of the population. Added sentence to introduce the Factionless class of the population. Also, clarification of Factionless and Divergent. Also clarified that the protagonist, Tris is secretly Divergent. Please, discuss, revert, edit or remove as needed. B'H. 172.250.246.150 (talk) 23:03, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
