The "Divergent" movie is causing a lot of buzz lately.

As the release date is finally here, fans are looking into reviews as the cast has been making premiere rounds.

According to Entertainment Weekly, fans of "Divergent" will have a lot to look forward to in the movie, especially the performance of Shailene Woodley.

In a review regarding the actress and her performance in the upcoming film, Owen Gleiberman writes, "Woodley, through the delicate power of her acting, does something compelling: She shows you what a prickly, fearful, yet daring personality looks like when it's nestled deep within the kind of modest, bookish girl who shouldn't even like gym class."

He continues, "Woodley, at every turn, lets us feel as if we're in her shoes, not so much Dauntless as thrillingly daunted."

Cast member Theo James also received rather positive reviews.

Todd Gilchrist of The Playlist wrote, "As Four, meanwhile, James manages the considerable accomplishment of seeming like a real grown-up man rather than a teenage girl's image of a dreamy boy, and he makes the character's transformation from hardass to collaborator seem natural, if inevitable."

Apparently, it took a lot for the cast to deliver such noteworthy performances.

"Divergent" co-star Ben Lloyd-Hughes stated, "We had two weeks of physical training with great stunt guys and they really put us into shape both physically and mentally as far as getting us to bond as a group."

According to the NY Daily News, the 26-year-old British actor, who plays the role of Will, had to work on his accent as well, doubling the amount of work for him.

The "Divergent" movie and the highly anticipated "Muppets Most Wanted" film have the same release date.

Cinema Blend has reported that, according to Fandango's "Fanticipation" meter, the "Divergent" movie has already beat out the advance ticket sales of "Twilight."

The movie is expected to beat the "Muppets" sequel in ticket sales.

We can't wait to see how it does in the box office after its release date.
