WAIT WHAT MY SEXY LADY is BACK!!!!!!!! Now let the Todd come back RING THE BELLLLLL Tata is like my father, and i hated my father, he left to get milk and never came back
Andrew would be Candor because they are the honest and make good judges and Amity as well because he seems like a peaceful chill guy but it also takes courage to tell the truth and he's aware of details so maybe Erudite as well, plus he's the facts trivia guy 😂. Tara would be Erudite because she figured out how to plug the hole in that drowing room by taking the clothes off really fast 😂, she's high energy as well, so that's Dauntless. Tara also picks up weapons of enemies that are lying on the floor 😂 and that shows resourcefulness and smarts, so that's Erudite and Dauntless again. She also casts her own friends in stuff so that's abnegation😂.. So, all in all, you guys would be Divergent.
Fun fact: in the book she’s so nervous to pick between Dauntless and Abnegation that she actually bleeds on the floor between the bowls first and then quickly moves her hand over the Dauntless bowl
Hey guys, there are 2 sequels, Insurgent and Alliant. Watch em both. There was to be a 4th, but it didn’t get made due to flop of the 3rd. Good job, guys👍🏻
The last book of the trilogy is the shortest one and they wanted to milk that cow by doing 2 parts (2 movies or 1 movie and a tv series) like HP and Hunger Games, but that totally backfired. The first movie was a good adaption of the book, but the second one already veered off and the third movie was total crap!!!
@@KrisFlicksThey decided on the series thing years after they cancelled the movie, the last movie didn't happen bcs the third one wasn't a success commercially or critically
Welcome back Tara!!!! 😊😊😊 And she and Andrew are starting the "Divergent" trilogy!!! 😊 I'm one of probably few that actually likes these movies. Not as great as the books, but I still enjoy the trilogy. And the casting in these movies is great. We've got Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Miles Tiller, Zoe Kravitz, Ansel Elsgort, Ray Stevenson(RIP always), Mekhi Phifer, Jai Courtney, and Kate Winslet all in this first movie. Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊
35:00 ish... it's not green screen. they actually filmed most of everything in chicago. i've seen all the special features. that's why the two other movies were such a disservice to what they achieved in the first film.
Like all we ever asked as fans was for the last movie/book. But it’s a beloved series. Even the cast wanted to make the final movie. Glad u guys enjoyed it.❤
Oh and for Andrew, Theo James (who plays Four) is the lead in the new ‘The Gentleman’ series (the Guy Ritchie one that’s a spin off from the film) so you’ll get to see him in that too when you guys get to that, which I’m assuming and hoping you will. It’s brilliant!
This is a trilogy but it was supposed to be like 4-5 movies but they stopped at the third one because these movies didn't make what they expected to make at the box office
Great reaction guys, thank you! Also welcome back Tara!! And just to say Kate Winslet didn’t originally know that Tris was Divergent because when Tris did the aptitude test Tori entered her results into the system as Abnegation to protect her. (when she told Tris to say the serum made her feel sick) So when Kate Winslet says she saw her results just thought that Tris chose Dauntless even though her results said abnegation.
Two fun facts about two scenes in this movie the part where Tress and I believe his name is, Peter are fighting the part where she punches him in the throat. That was actually her punching him, the throat and the noise that he made he actually end up losing his breath because she actually really did hit him in the throat. And for Kate Winslow, if you noticed that she’s covering her stomach all the time she was pregnant while filming this movie and another scene too, when Trish is going down, the zip line, the part where the first female that pushes the door open that is the author of the divergent books
11:52 in the book there is a scene where Tris says she’s noticed Caleb stuffing textbooks behind his dresser and such. It was kind of immediately assumed he would choose Erudite while reading.
Didn't care WHAT the movie actually was, it could've been ANYTHING, I'm here for TARA! So great to have youback, luv! But yeah, also really like these movies too, so definitely keep going. Next one's the best!
For me it's a tie between "The Maze Runner"(still hoping that Tara and John can finish watching that trilogy) and "The Hunger Games" as my favorite YA adaptation. Followed by "Divergent" and then "Twilight".
This is one of my favorite book/movie franchises (even though they have SO many changes in the movies) but I'm so happy that yall watched this and hope you watch the other two!!
I’m so happy to see Tara back! And I love how much y’all loved this movie, it’s far from perfect but it’s way better than ppl give it credit for and it’s super nostalgic for me (having read the books and watched the movie in middle school). I’m glad you guys enjoyed it! ❤️
I loved your reaction! In the end Triss said "my mom and dad died today". She lost everything, but she gained love ❤️ 😊. I love this trilogy....although...the first and second one. The third is a bit weird 😅
Ya know whats scary? Being divergent isn’t too far off from real life because I’ve been able to stop myself in the dream world and be like this isn’t real and completely end the dream or change it up. I actually love the parts where they show that
TARA!!!! So happy you're back! This trilogy is rather special to me. It's one of the sets of movies that helped me through a really, really bad time in my life. I watched them over and over, and last year I finally read the books.
whaaat the.. yes!! welcome back Tara, hope you're feeling much better now! We missed you so much, I love your reactions!! (Not just Tara but all of you tho) & I don't know what I expected but you guys reacting to divergent was not on my list!! Love this movie, it's really good! I'm so excited for this & already watching!! I'm so early holy shi..! much love to all of you & greetings from Germany 🇩🇪💕
Did it? I felt like the trend was just slowing down when the films were being released. Even for a franchise like the hunger games and how popular catching fire was, I'd dropped away from the ya dystopian stuff so mockingjay went completely under the radar to me and while I'd read the divergent books, the films were never really on my radar.
This movie started it for me. I watched it first then I read the books then I discovered the Hunger Games trilogy then I watched the movies and waited for the next ones and the rest is history. This might not be the best adaptation but Divergent still has the best couple among all the YA books to movies adaptations.
Glad to see you Tara!! It was a fun time getting caught up in the whirlwind of the hype when these books were released, and The Hunger Games. Both are fantastic stories of dystopian worlds, and were made into awesome films. I hope you watch the next two, they’re both worth a watch! I loves the facts about this film, I will always remember that detail about the throat punch now. 😬 It was interesting to watch the chemistry of Shailene and Miles in these roles after watching them in The Spectacular Now, which is also worth a watch.
divergent was my favourite series when i was 14. my friends and i went to the cinema and decided on divergent (i knew nothing about it before going in). i loved the film so much that when i found out it was a book series, i bought all of the books and then got so obsessed with the series. love love loveeeee divergent
1:25:43 you guys should check out Big Little Lies with Reese Witherspoon, Shalene Woodley, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern and also Zoey Kravitz! Meryl joins the cast in season 2 and Ryan from The Boys and his twin brother are in it along with Iain Armitage from Young Sheldon. Would see it on Reel Rejects!
Yay Tara's back!! I've always thought this movie was a fun, enjoyable watch, but it's never been a favorite and I found it somewhat forgettable - but seeing how much you both enjoyed it and hearing you get excited and gush about various aspects made me appreciate it in new ways! I love that so much, thank you!
paprika + inception + … divergent? never would think to find similarities in those 3 movies (just a moment but still, its enough), but yeah, here we are 😭😂
I won’t lie, these movies are my guilty pleasure, they weren’t ever going to win awards but I love the characters. My favorite trope in movies is the mastery of the mind and using your mind to overcome obstacles physically and metaphorically. I love that being ‘Divergent’ is literally having attributes that are beyond categorization.
I'd love to see their reactions and thoughts about insurgent the sequel. Keep up the amazing work Reel Rejects. Getting a notification about a new video being dropped on RUclips always makes my day!
I love y’all’s perspective on this movie. I really enjoyed the books (with some exceptions I won’t spoil lol) but didn’t really vibe with the movies, but seeing this one from your perspective made me appreciate it a lot more!
As a kid, Shailene Woodley was my favorite actress. She's very entertaining in any genre she's in especially action and SciFy which you don't see too many other actresses excel in. Teenage me, shortly after this film came out, once wrote an science fiction movie script where Shailene would be the lead. I sent it to Hollywood and to my dismay, no producer bothered to look at it.
Yes that is the former Sears Tower, now Willis Tower. And M83's music playing throughout most of the movie is awesome, especially the zip line above the city sequence.
The fact that this movie doesn't portray the same feelings the book gives you is actually so sad. You get SO MUCH additional info that makes the plot line make so much sense. I can't imagine watching this movie without the understanding that comes in the book.
No one could make me hate this movie, even having read the first two books and Four. The directing, acting, and story are just too good. Also, welcome back Tara, that intro was wholesome af.
I’m glad you guy watched and actually appreciated the story! Some other reactors just seem to make fun of it the entire time. I remember when these books were coming out. Definitely a big part of my childhood!
So glad you enjoyed it! And got the message lol. That there wasn’t *actually* choice, just the illusion of it. Great points about the symbolism of abnegation and class issues. And interesting comments about the acting. The characters act like this world is normal, because why wouldn’t they? I like that Peter and Eric (and others) stay pretty wretched. Peter of course does have a pragmatic side. And we see how some don’t have any limits to their cruelty and callousness. Unfortunately, that is very true to life. Other characters do change! But people who are that vicious rarely do, except to serve themselves or on a whim. If it were that easy, our world would be a lot more peaceful! My sister appreciated how much agency Tris wielded. She was thrown into numerous situations against her will yes, but in other cases, she charged into them.
Tori (the character played by Maggie Q) put Tris test results as Abnegation, i'm pretty sure she told her that when she saw her again at Dauntless. That's why Jeanine (the character played by Kate Winslet) didn't know of Tris true idendity, otherwise she would've hunted her down immediately. Obviously she did feel suspicious of her but she didn't truly know until she saw her unaffected by the serum.
In the book (ya’ll should read it!) when Christina was hanging, it wasn’t just water drop lits, it was Huge Waves of water! And she still hung on! But she was only three fingers by five mins!

*loved watching this series when i was a teen*
Just finally pulled the trigger on 3 shirts in honor of Tara’s return, was really starting to get worried
Andrew would be Candor because they are the honest and make good judges and Amity as well because he seems like a peaceful chill guy but it also takes courage to tell the truth and he's aware of details so maybe Erudite as well, plus he's the facts trivia guy 😂. Tara would be Erudite because she figured out how to plug the hole in that drowing room by taking the clothes off really fast 😂, she's high energy as well, so that's Dauntless. Tara also picks up weapons of enemies that are lying on the floor 😂 and that shows resourcefulness and smarts, so that's Erudite and Dauntless again. She also casts her own friends in stuff so that's abnegation😂.. So, all in all, you guys would be Divergent.
Hey, if you guys have not done limitless, the movie have Tara do limitless I want to see Tara do it thank you
I don't care if it was staged or not staged, that opening was so wholesome! 💜
Why would it be staged😂
It was SOOO cute!!! 😊😊😊
@@Say0nn.I'm not saying it was, I'm just saying I wouldn't care if it was.
Taraaaaa woooooo ❤❤❤
@@mimic1984that still didn’t answer my question but ok
Fun fact: in the book she’s so nervous to pick between Dauntless and Abnegation that she actually bleeds on the floor between the bowls first and then quickly moves her hand over the Dauntless bowl
She said “My mom & dad died today” in that end scene guys
Tara returns 😱 Please also watch:
Insurgent (2015)
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015)
Allegiant (2016)
Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)
Yess
Those are all terrible films
They don’t need to bother with allegiant
@@tiffanyphillips6086No, they aren't terrible..
@liviclare If you watch movie #1/2...they will watch #3.
tara's back? TARA'S BACK!!! we missed you and your energy, girl!
where did she go? 🫣
The tattoo of the three birds is for each member of her family, on her collarbone, as if they're flying toward her heart.
Hey guys, there are 2 sequels, Insurgent and Alliant. Watch em both. There was to be a 4th, but it didn’t get made due to flop of the 3rd. Good job, guys👍🏻
it actually didn’t get made cause they wanted to turn the 4th movie into a tv show but all the cast had conflicting schedules
The last book of the trilogy is the shortest one and they wanted to milk that cow by doing 2 parts (2 movies or 1 movie and a tv series) like HP and Hunger Games, but that totally backfired.

As someone who ha read the books, I love these movies too.
i LOVE Divergent and probably watched it like 50 times but i don't really care about the sequels :D
35:00 ish... it's not green screen. they actually filmed most of everything in chicago. i've seen all the special features. that's why the two other movies were such a disservice to what they achieved in the first film.

The Gentlemen has also Kaya Scodelario from The Maze Runner, so the 2 love interests from the 2 YA series
Yessss this❤
This is a trilogy but it was supposed to be like 4-5 movies but they stopped at the third one because these movies didn't make what they expected to make at the box office
Greg: Tara is back!
Me: Lisan Al-Gaib!
Yes she is the messiah 🤩🤩🤩😩
As it was written
I love that Lisan Al-Gaib has become a meme
I'm a SIMPLE MAN. I SEE TARA I click Tara !!! RIIING THE BELLLL!!
A simple man, yet a man with taste. I mean it’s Tara 😍🤌🏾
I’m a simple girl. I see Tara, I click!
Great reaction guys, thank you! Also welcome back Tara!! And just to say Kate Winslet didn’t originally know that Tris was Divergent because when Tris did the aptitude test Tori entered her results into the system as Abnegation to protect her. (when she told Tris to say the serum made her feel sick) So when Kate Winslet says she saw her results just thought that Tris chose Dauntless even though her results said abnegation.
Theo James “Four” is from the UK so it’s interesting seeing her pick up on his accent. I never noticed until i looked it up.
Two fun facts about two scenes in this movie the part where Tress and I believe his name is, Peter are fighting the part where she punches him in the throat. That was actually her punching him, the throat and the noise that he made he actually end up losing his breath because she actually really did hit him in the throat.

What's the BEST YA Novel Adapatation so far??
As much as i love Divergent than Hunger games. Hunger games still is the best
I still think Catching Fire/The Hunger Games in general is the best!
For me it's a tie between "The Maze Runner"(still hoping that Tara and John can finish watching that trilogy) and "The Hunger Games" as my favorite YA adaptation. Followed by "Divergent" and then "Twilight".
Does Lord of the Rings count?
I really like Stardust and Penelope, but the Maze Runner, the Darkest Minds, Divergent and Hunger Games are also pretty good.
This is one of my favorite book/movie franchises (even though they have SO many changes in the movies) but I'm so happy that yall watched this and hope you watch the other two!!
Love this with you 2!! Awesome!! The chemistry trist and 4 was off the charts. This was my favorite out of all 3. Andrew's heart is a so sweet. 😊
Not to be nosey but got damn, Greg and Olivia have a beautiful home 😂 glad your back Tara♥️
Never mind the movie, my girl Tara's back! 💜 (movies pretty cool though)
I’m so happy to see Tara back! And I love how much y’all loved this movie, it’s far from perfect but it’s way better than ppl give it credit for and it’s super nostalgic for me (having read the books and watched the movie in middle school). I’m glad you guys enjoyed it! ❤️

It’s so good to see you back Tara. Glad you’re feeling better again. We all missed you and missed ringing the bell with you!
She lives! Long Covid seems pretty nasty. Glad to see you back and doing better!
Don’t say that, she was gone because she was sick
@@larryreed8644 I knew that. I’ll rephrase
Aww still nice to have her back!! Doing better!
Literally gasped when I saw Tara in the thumbnail!!! So happy to see you back and doing well!!❤
Ya know whats scary? Being divergent isn’t too far off from real life because I’ve been able to stop myself in the dream world and be like this isn’t real and completely end the dream or change it up. I actually love the parts where they show that
Same! It's called lucid dreaming. It's the best. I think of it as my superpower 😜
Yes..I think divergent are real. They're people who can't be controlled. But it's a choice to be divergent.
TARA!!!! So happy you're back! This trilogy is rather special to me. It's one of the sets of movies that helped me through a really, really bad time in my life. I watched them over and over, and last year I finally read the books.
WELCOME BACK TARA!!!
Shailene and Ansel played lovers then brother/sister in the same year.
I know, it somehow weirded me out when I first discovered that.😅
Its also weird that quicksilver and Wanda were brother and sister but in godzilla later that year they were lovers? 😂
That’s why it’s funny to me whenever we get a scene with Shailene, Theo, Miles, and Ansel 😂 3 love interests.
@@LanceDiazzz I said later that year
one of my fav movies, the groth from beginning to end was so brilliantly done. happy you covered and enjoyed this movie.
Obligatory, "Tara's back!!!!!!!" We missed you
Love the First one and Second one. Too bad this franchise didnt have a fourth movie
This era of dystopian film is everythinggg they could never make a movie like this anymore sadly! would love to see u guys watching the sequels!
Welcome back Tara, glad you're feeling better.
WELCOME BACK, WE’VE MISSED YOU TARA ❤❤❤
3 comic book movie references in under 3 minutes. New record Andrew
So happy to see Tara back and be her energetic self.
I love Shailene in everything, she's amazing!
I forgot how good this movie is!
Tara is back 😭😭😭♥️♥️, we missed you girl!!!!!!!
I saw Tara in the thumbnail and immediately clicked! so glad she's feeling better!
Welcome Tara, we all missed you!!! This movie came out back in 2014, back when movies were still spectacular.

Tara returns (although I followed her recovery on Insta) and I couldn't be happier. Welcome back Tara!!
Tara, we missed you. Glad you're all better!
Ah yes, Divergent. The franchise that killed the YA movie craze.
is that bad?
Did it? I felt like the trend was just slowing down when the films were being released.

1:25:43 you guys should check out Big Little Lies with Reese Witherspoon, Shalene Woodley, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern and also Zoey Kravitz! Meryl joins the cast in season 2 and Ryan from The Boys and his twin brother are in it along with Iain Armitage from Young Sheldon. Would see it on Reel Rejects!
i love your reactions! especially appreciating the sets and cinematography. the zipline scene was actually my all time fave ❤
OMG that opening was perfect and exactly how I felt 😭 we have grown to love you Tara. Missed you so much ❤❤
Yeah, you're definitely need to watch the other 2 I love the series.A lot of people hate on it.I do not know why but I think it's great
it just sucks the last film was never made
Welcome Back Tara
We missed you so much
We missed you Tara! Welcome back.
Tara is crazy good at guessing what’s going to happen!
WELCOME BACK TARA!!!!! we missed you so much!!
Definitely would love to see the second movie! And the third! Gotta do the whole trilogy! It’s a great watch ❤️
Tara!!! Welcome back!❤🔥
Yay Tara's back!!

this franchise never called my attention but because TARA IS BACK, I'm gonna watch this react in celebration!
Welcome back, Tara! We missed you!
Like Sponge Bob looking at a jar of water.... I NEED IT!!
The sequel
paprika + inception + … divergent? never would think to find similarities in those 3 movies (just a moment but still, its enough), but yeah, here we are 😭😂
You gotta say “Flash Gordon”! Missed you energy Tara!!!

YAAAYY Tara's back!! Really enjoyed the reaction and looking forward to the next one!! also the scene with Tris and her mom, ughh, gets me every time
Welcome back, dear!!!! My eardrums missed being exploded when you asked us to ring the bell. 😂😂😂😂 Honestly , welcome back.
I'd love to see their reactions and thoughts about insurgent the sequel. Keep up the amazing work Reel Rejects. Getting a notification about a new video being dropped on RUclips always makes my day!

I LOVE THAT YALL LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!! i was obsessed with the books and movies when i was in middle school and still to this day are my favorites
Happy you’re back Tara!!! Haven’t finished the reaction yet, but so far it’s reminding me of the Christian Bale movie Equilibrium
The scene with mom and shailene at the end always creates such an emotional reaction from me 😢
TARAS BACK!!! I don't even really need to watch a divergent reaction, but I'm gonna anyway because TARA!!!
TARA'S BACK!!! Yess watch the rest of the series
Yes that is the former Sears Tower, now Willis Tower. And M83's music playing throughout most of the movie is awesome, especially the zip line above the city sequence.

In the book (ya’ll should read it!) when Christina was hanging, it wasn’t just water drop lits, it was Huge Waves of water! And she still hung on! But she was only three fingers by five mins!
all the great ellie goulding songs in this movie
This series was so underrated IMO because of the saturation brought on by Twilight, Hunger Games etc. But this was so freaking good.
Divergent & The Maze Runner are my favorites!
I wish they kept these movies going!!
Welcome back Tara!! Glad you're feeling better!!
