Whether they know it or not, moviegoers are participating in a Choosing Ceremony of sorts this weekend, as director Neil Burger's enters theaters.

The film, based on the Veronica Roth novel series and starring Shailene Woodley and Theo James, has been hyped by onlookers as the next "Hunger Games." It's talked about in the same conversations as "Twilight" and "Harry Potter." But does "Divergent" meet those heights? While many critics are intrigued by the film and its franchise potential, others have concluded that "Divergent" offers nothing new to the cinematic world of dystopia-driven young adult fiction.

Here's a look at what critics are saying about "Divergent."

The Story
"Based on Veronica Roth's bestselling series, 'Divergent' depicts a future Chicago after a catastrophic global war. Lake Michigan has dried into a vast marsh, an electrified wall encircles the heart of the city to protect it from outside influences, and society is divided into five factions: Amity, Erudite, Candor, Dauntless, and Abnegation. Beatrice 'Tris' Prior (Shailene Woodley) and her brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort) are children of Abnegation, the governing faction that rejects vanity, feeds the Factionless, and lives humbly in bare quarters. Society replenishes itself by submitting children of all factions to a test that determines where they are best suited, then allowing them to pick their place for life in a Choosing Ceremony. But Erudite leader Jeannine Matthews (Kate Winslet) insists that everyone should simply know their place, and that those who deviate from a thoughtless routine threaten to undermine the fragile fabric of rebuilding society. Tris discovers during her test that she's ...

It's just about time we acknowledged something that we all know, in our deepest, most secret hearts, is true: There's at least one area in which Jennifer Lawrence is not the best.

We may finally have a firm release date for Ed Sheeran's eagerly anticipated second album. The Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter posted a cryptic note to fans early Thursday morning (March 20) that seems to hint that he's about to blow up our summer.

In addition to that news, Sheerios were psyched to find out on Wednesday that Ed will appear on "Saturday Night Live" on April 12 as the musical guest alongside host Seth Rogen.

Back in December, Sheeran told MTV News that after spending much of the year touring with pal Taylor Swift, he was excited about what an 
 she lent to the recording process.

"Whenever I finished a song, I'd send it to her to get her opinion," he said. "She's heard all the songs and she's a good judge of what's good or not good." Sheeran hasn't released a track list for the album yet, but he did unveil the new song "Tenerife Sea" in October during a show at Madison Square Garden.

He also recently showed Ryan Seacrest some new ink he got on his arm, a teddy bear tattoo on his bicep and one that read "Blood Stream," which is the name of a song on the as-yet-untitled release that he said he'd written about "120 songs" for. A spokesperson for Sheeran could not be reached for comment to confirm the album's release date.

And, as awesome as it was, we're pretty sure that his unplugged version of Beyoncé's "Drunk In Love"
 won't make it onto the album.

The long-awaited adaptation of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's comic book series "Powers" is still on the way — but now, it's been given new life thanks to the video game industry.

The Sony Pictures Television adaptation was previously set up at FX, with the network going so far as to produce an unreleased pilot starring Jason Patric and Charles S. Dutton. Now, "Powers" will come to viewers through the PlayStation Network. The video game console has ordered "Powers" straight to series, in what's likely to be a 10-episode order, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Powers," written by Bendis and illustrated by Oeming, takes place in a world where super-human men and women exist. Much like the title, these people are referred to as "powers." Detective Christian Walker, played by Jason Patric in the FX pilot, is one such powered individual; he investigates cases involving other "powers," alongside his partner Deena Pilgrim, played in the FX pilot by Lucy Punch.

With "Powers" moving away from FX and landing at PlayStation, the comic book series will undergo some changes, including an overhaul of the cast from the unaired pilot. Bendis and Oeming will executive produce the series alongside writer Charlie Huston, as well as several "Walking Dead" veterans including Circle of Confusion's David Alpert.

The worlds of comic book television and original digital programming seem to be bigger now than ever. With "Powers" now on the way as PlayStation's first original series offering, it seems that those worlds will only continue to grow.
