Critics Consensus

Shailene Woodley gives it her all, but Insurgent is still a resounding step back for a franchise struggling to distinguish itself from the dystopian YA crowd.

Misfire sequel. I think it should be better to read the book than the movie adaptation.

okay, this movie wasn't as good as the first one but it still was enjoyable because I was into the characters from the book. This movie definitely drops the ball a bit compared to the previous movie and the book.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Can't say it was the best film, lacking in a few areas, first one was better for sure. I didn't really like the cast which I think took a big hit on the film.

The visually pleasing third act saves this movie from oblivion, as it progresses to a surprisingly fulfilling ending.

In all, Insurgent may work as a deafening, frivolous diversion for viewers who can ignore the flimsiness of its universe, plot, and characters.

Vox

People are sad, people are mad, people are bad, and people will say exactly how they feel any chance they get. It's like a Bond villain crafted specifically to destroy whatever mystery still existed around the inner angst of young adult stories.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

Actors like Winslet and Watts have far too much talent to waste it here, whereas the script doesn’t allow for the talented younger supporting cast (namely James and Teller) to deliver much beyond one-note characterizations.

Rated: 1.5/4

Joe Lipsett

Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast

While the film is an improvement on the book and features decent FX, it is tiresome to see so many high profile stars in underdeveloped roles while essentially repeating the plot of Divergent. Woodley makes this bearable, but she can't save it

Rated: 2.5/5

Insurgent falls short from its predecessor. It's heavy-handed themes lend themselves to overworked storylines and the lack of any true impact.
