Review of Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018) by Hpfanboy1237 — 04 Mar 2018

Was it worth the almost 3-year wait, yes it was (mostly)? Maze Runner: the Death Cure is by no means a fantastic movie, it is however highly enjoyable. It starts out with a fantastic train heist sequence that pulls you into the movie and it keeps chugging along (pun intended) for awhile.

Then it kinda slows down in the middle and becomes sorta melodramatic for a bit, which I didn't understand; while it was the weakest part of the movie it did have some standout scenes. What made the whole movie for me was the last 40 to 50 minutes of it, filled with amazing action sequences and some really great (not to mention terribly sad) character scenes.

And then we wrap it all up with a fantastic ending, which was easily the best part of the movie. Another thing I loved is that I enjoyed it more than the book, it wasn't irritating, although the dialogue was cheesy and incredibly predictable.

I knew what characters were going to say before they said it and was like they're going to say that and then they did say just that. That happened about 20 times. Overall, it had a better story than the Scorch Trials movie and was much more engaging.

This one or the first one is probably the best of the trilogy, and thank goodness that it was a trilogy.
