Who the Hell Cares?

The 'Divergent' series was always going to be the ugly step-kid to it's more successful cinematic siblings, but I had no idea it was going to get this ugly. 'Divergent' was an entertaining (if unoriginal) two hour distraction, and 'Insurgent' was a wacky, dumb followup. 'Allegiant' is the dull third part that will just bore you to sleep. The story/plot become unnecessarily complicated when new revelations are discovered from the twist ending of the previous film. After a few very brief moments of (decent) action, we are shown a brand new world that had created the world in which the main characters previously lived. Of course, the reasonings behind the initial plan to have such a setup make absolutely no sense. The vast majority of the runtime is spent explaining this new "real" world and the convoluted nature for why everything is the way it is. Three movies in, and we STILL have to sit though endless exposition! I already didn't care about this series due to the poor handling of the characters and drama, but this takes it to a whole new level. I'd be surprised if fans of the book series would even make it this far. Looking past all the confusingly stupid "who's" and "whats", it all boils down to a simple act of retaliation. To this, I say, "Who the hell cares?!". Don't waste your time.
