Both formally and narratively, The Death Cure feels like a patchwork, Frankensteined together from better material.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 16, 2022

A bombastic blast that sends the series off on a high note.

| Dec 29, 2021

Features lots of ominous music, attractive stars in motion, dusty dystopian landscapes and something gets blown up or shot at every 10 minutes or so. What's missing is the emotional content that might make you care about it.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 28, 2021

The excitement never quite matches the very first scene.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 7, 2020

Director Wes Ball fails to generate any emotional resonance with this premise, though some of the action sequences are exciting.

| Mar 10, 2020

Entertaining and very meritorious as an adventure movie. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 1, 2019

It is an acceptable entertainment that correctly closes the story. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Jul 31, 2019

The intrigue of the first part, the fascinating design of the maze and the interplay between the characters trapped in the Glade have been eroded over the subsequent parts to end in a most unsatisfactory way.

| Jul 29, 2019

The Death Trials has all the entertainment of watching attractive young people run up and down MC Escher's steps while one of them cries a lot. The unofficial end of the entire YA adaptation era has seemingly arrived, and just like adulthood, it sucks.

| Original Score: D | Jun 18, 2019

A mercy killing

| Original Score: D+ | May 26, 2019

Overstays its welcome, but has some entertaining scenes scattered throughout.

| Original Score: B- | May 8, 2019

Like a relic of a lost genre that doesn't get made anymore.

| Apr 25, 2019

The Death Cure feels less like an epic conclusion and more like the death rattle of an already bygone age of franchise films.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2019

When the highest praise you can give a trilogy is "At least they finished it," then you probably haven't achieved your goals.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 8, 2019

The Death Cure doesn't wrap up with an easy resolution, somber with an uncertain hope. But the thrills and scares, along with deeper thematic elements, make it worth watching through the end.

| Jan 23, 2019

If this grossly tedious and nearly unwatchable film is meant to be an epic finale to the popular young adult series, it fails on all accounts.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 21, 2018

It would be hard to recommend Death Cure and its predecessors as actual good movies but this is a fine, entertaining conclusion to a series perfectly suited for Saturday afternoon on cable viewings.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 16, 2018

I'll be honest: I'm pretty sure half of what I think I remember from Maze Runner 2: The Scorch Trials might actually [have been] pieces of the last two Divergent movies.

| Original Score: 1.5 | Oct 31, 2018

Thankfully, consolations are present in director Wes Ball's crafting of the high-octane and O'Brien's acting, both of which are at their peak.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 11, 2018

Thankfully Dashner never succumbs to the allure of easy tropes completely.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 28, 2018
