USA TodayClaudia PuigMar 19, 2015
This second installment, based on Veronica Roth's series of YA novels, feels cobbled together and less focused than 2014's Divergent, and lacks tension and excitement. Read full review

Portland OregonianJeff BakerMar 20, 2015
If you think you've seen this movie, you have. Once it had a male protagonist and was called "Harry Potter." Then it starred Jennifer Lawrence and was called "The Hunger Games." Now it stars Shailene Woodley and goes by "The Divergent Series." Same thing, only worse. Read full review

You know you’re in for a long haul when Kate Winslet’s clipboard-wielding Jeanine, leader of the Erudite faction, comes off less like a Hillary Clinton than a weary Applebee’s supervisor at the end of a 14-hour shift in this plodding sequel to “Divergent.” Read full review

Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternMar 19, 2015
Insurgent opens new horizons of repetitiveness, dramatic shapelessness, self-seriousness and a generalized oppressiveness that flows from all of the above as well as from visual clutter, cheerless color, 3-D dimness and plain old bad acting. Read full review

Insurgent is so vapid it seems impossible that there's enough story left for another sequel. Read full review

There is such a thing as an infinitely bad movie, and this is it. Read full review
