Review of The Maze Runner (2014) by Historyprof11 — 22 Sep 2014

For those who love the book, this movie does an decent job at keeping you entertained and give you an idea of what it felt like to live in the Maze. However, it does a horrible job of following the storyline in the book to the detriment of the movie. Most of the characters in the movie bear little resemblance to the characters in the book. Why they so dramatically changed characters I do not know, but when combined with the mediocre acting, it makes the watcher feel less invested in the characters and almost an indifference to whether or not they make it.

I am rating this movie higher than my review may sound because as much as I am disappointed in the relation to the book, the movie itself kept me entertained and in suspense and I am looking forward to the next installment.
