Why people didn't like it?


I don't understand all the bad words about this film. I quite enjoyed it, I think it was beautifully filmed, but I would expected more (a deeper development of the character and the story, above all). I have not read the book, so I don't know if it does justice to its source material, but why it was so negatively received?

It was on HBO recently, and I did flip to this movie. But for some reason, it sort of dragged and dragged. I just switched to DIVERGENT (which I really liked!). A much better movie, imho.
