Divergent did well to set this brilliant dystopian world up, especially with the huge competition that the film has had with the likes of The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner. But, despite the comparisons that were doomed to be made, Divergent excelled on most levels: it had great leading characters, a well-crafted future world, a bit of romance, a lot of intrigue, and enough action to make for both a fast-paced read and an enticing viewing. Yet Insurgent falls flat on most of these levels.
