I mean, obviously it is, obviously this is the direction the new movies are going in, but after just watching 4 movies that basically have the same exact plot this one REALLY came out. The first film was full of lots of training sequences, and this film is full of lots of running and lots of tests. I don't mean this in a negative way, not at all, but having just seen 4 previous Fast and Furious movies I can't even say that this is a 'Fast and Furious' movie. And of course there's all this personal soap opera playing out around Tris (Shailene Woodley), the Divergent who everything depends on.
And of course it takes one particular Divergent to open this magic box. Of course it takes a Divergent to open this magic box. The box that everything hinges on is about as uninteresting a plot device as we'll see in one of these. This leads to conversations where we have Shailene Woodley in a pixie cut snarling, "I want to kill Jeanine." It's hard not to read this as high camp, and it's not the most threatening variation on the archetype I've ever seen. The entire film boils down to "There's a magic box, and only the Chosen One can open it, and the bad guy makes the Chosen One open it." And in this particular case, the bad guy (Kate Winslet, who I thought was the first movie's weak link), this manifestation of ultimate evil who our hero wants to kill, is named Jeanine.

This installment in the series has been significantly re-engineered from the book by screenwriters Brian Duffield, Akiva Goldsman, and Mark Bomback, and it suffers from middle movie syndrome in a major way. Listen on Spotify: Wiz Khalifa - See You Again ft.
