Okay, so, in the Movie Franchises Made In Hopes Of Replacing Harry - TopicsExpress



          

Okay, so, in the Movie Franchises Made In Hopes Of Replacing Harry Potter sweepstakes -- and, in fairness, Ive only seen two -- I call Divergent the clear winner. Its got a lot of problems, not the least of which is its subtextual message that smart people are rotters, and the basic silliness of the premise of a Sorting Hat society and the arbitrary criteria for sorting, but the story it tells doesnt depend on all the characters being grotesquely stupid, so its miles ahead of The Hunger Games. And I quite like Shailene Woodley. I dont claim Ive made a great discovery -- God knows shes already got quite a following -- but its good to see her live up to the hype. Noah tomorrow.
