Thanks to Vox Cinemas for giving us a chance to win tickets to this awesome movie, and it was held at the majestic Mall of The Emirates. We'll tell you, watching the premiere is so much... Fun, incredible-ness, brilliance; we'll forever love Vox Cinemas and attending the premieres they host. ;___;

Shifa:

The movie started out really well, continuing from where they left off (for fans who remember; but for people who did not watch the movie at all, maybe they should've done some introduction. Of course, since it's the third movie in the series, it's assumed that they would've watched the first two, or at least read the back-story by now (cheating!).).

I think there wasn't a dull moment in the movie, and I felt it flowed better than the previous one.

However, as with all great books and movies, we all know (or subconsciously know), from the beginning that the sweet talker is always evil. Nevertheless, although I think the ending was very expected, it was still surprising that they would stray away from the book, but I do think this is because they are making another part, and they wanted to be kind to us in the beginning (so that can easily crush our hearts and souls).

Overall, I really liked the movie, and I think it is my favourite along with the first. 9/10 (P.s. Peter needs to get his own movie, hahaha; he's great.)

{Shifa, non-book reader, you know nothing, okay.... -,- please read the book and decide. But yes, I agree, Miles Teller as Peter is pretty hilarious. So okay, in that sense... I'll allow it. -Safa}

Safa:

I really enjoyed this movie, I think it might have been my favourite. But I also think it might have been due to the fact that it didn't pan out like the book. I know that's supposed to make me mad, but I think it was a good thing because it (the movie) did good on the technology front. However, some of the parts (the CGI) was a bit comical and I was in fits of laughter.

Overall, they did a good job of the movie and I'm eager to watch the last part.

Rating: 8.5/10

Thinking about the last part though. ALREADY FEEL LIKE DYING. WE CANT. How could you, directors, writers, producers (and of course, the brilliantly mean/meanly brilliant Ms Veronica Roth.)?!!! *shakes fist angrily forever*

Until next time then!

Salam, Peace!
