For those looking for non-stop action, pretty dazzling special effects and solid acting by the young protagonists, Insurgent will not disappoint. Read full review

Watts' Evelyn is a tricky character - it should be entertaining having her around in the cloven-in-two-to-cash-in-at-the-box-office final installments. Read full review

A competent rather than classic follow-up. If the action feels generic at times, the addition of Watts, more Winslet and the strength of Woodley are worth watching. Read full review

Considering that Insurgent is meant to represent the series’ great civil war, it all comes across feeling like a tempest in a teapot: a glorified rehash of what came before, garnished with the promise of what lies in store. Read full review

Unfortunately, Insurgent can’t quite live up to its intriguing set up. Even if you’re curious about it, the movie is often plodding and frequently nonsensical, with action that never feels novel or exciting. Read full review

It plays like a listless mash-up of every Young Adult franchise movie you’ve ever seen – domineering rulers, anguished, system-smashing teens, and all the purposeful striding through rubble you can handle. Read full review

much better screenplay for the movie than the book. Great special effects. I am not sure how the final movie Allegiant will end compared to the book. Good character acting. Worth a repeat viewing.

Insurgent is visually stunning, well acted, with a well established plot, and with a good dose of action. But not stand out as something new in the genre of "Young Adult".

While you better Divergent, but this can be confusing, leaving many gaps in a good frame that is not fully develop very well. Hopefully for Allegiant Part 1 bring us something much more epic and intense, and much more developed, otherwise would be falling into the same problems that other adaptations.… Expand

Insurgent is a good movie with some really nice performances along with a little bit of character depth that was lacking in the previous film not to mention the cinematography and action scenes are superb.

The movie is mildly entertaining and isn't boring, but it suffers from some issues. The more this series takes its premise seriously, the more I find it to be total nonsense.

Waterlogged by slow pace and not much focus on Ideology of factions , barely touch amity or candor this time like first were it barely touched on all factions. Can we ever see a movie that gets involved in source material mythos. Weak CGI probably budgetary reasons so no concern .

Insurgent, was a film that unfortunately failed to convince its sequel divergent , followed by The Maze Runner, and very contrary to The Hunger Games , and neither could induce this could be the shortest of Divergent , but lacked action, and pure emotions .

La réalisation et les effets sont plutôt corrects (donc je mets 2 quand même) mais l'intrigue ou l'espèce d'intrigue de cette suite est d'une rare stupidité, l'action y est assez rare et le reste est meublé avec du blabla abrutissant.

En outre, l'actrice principale a une tronche de thon : ils ont bien essayé de l'arranger mais rien à faire avec ce regard de poisson mort. Cela dit, son con-pagnon dans l'aventure n'est pas mieux logé à cet égard... en tout cas, un couple de larves bien assorti.… Expand
