Critic Consensus
Critical reception for Insurgent is largely negative, with scores clustering in the 40-60 range. The few positive notes centre on certain performances and visual effects, though at least one critic found the CGI cheap-looking rather than impressive. Common criticisms include a lack of originality, an inaccessibility to non-fans of the series, and a sense that the film functions as little more than a placeholder between the first and final instalments.

Updated“Whatever little dose of action is present is rendered in cheap looking CGI, which hammers the final nail in the coffin. It remains to be seen if a third instalment arrives next year because as a second film in a series, 'Insurgent' is a dud.”Read full review ↗
“...the only reasons to watch Insurgent are the very few decent performances and of course, the flashy special effects.”Read full review ↗
“Think of this as an inbetweener you have to get through to get to the final two films in this series. Tedious, but necessary.”Read full review ↗
“To even understand the basics of this film, you need to be familiar with either the book or the first film otherwise you'll be as lost as a man who has discovered that he has lost his wallet. The concept of various factions, depending on their skills was quite fascinating in Divergent but there isn't much originality here. Watch it only if you are a fan of the series.”Read full review ↗
“If you are a huge fan of the series or Shailene Woodley, then you should probably catch this sci-fi thriller over the weekend. Otherwise its advisable to re-read the second book again.”Read full review ↗
“Insurgent is not unbearable. A one-time watch (at least for the Divergent fans) may be the maximum you'd want to give for this one.”Read full review ↗
