Hailee K I think that this was an amazing movie along with the other two but this... was amazing no movies could replace my love for this. I think that this is the best movie in the franchise (I recommend reading the book first) I don't care what people say, Thomas is my favorite character.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review Meloo G Directed by Wes Ball, « The Maze Runner » put in action many characters, mainly Thomas (the protagonist), Newt, Minho and Theresa. The movie tell a story about a teenager, nammed Thomas. He found himself in a stone maze, and met lot of boys who are block in this maze. Together, they will try to find a solution to escape. The plot is gripping, litteraly. Each time I watch this movie, it’s look like eating my all favourites flavours, in the same time, sweet or salt. Pure pleasure. The special-effect are realistic, and good. Acting is very well, all the characters has their own personality, with fault and qualities. The crew makes two movies after this film. Honestly, I think the one is better. The scenario deviate a little bit during the three movies, but the title « The Maze Runner » refers to the first movie. It’s in this one that the story start, and the discovery of the script and the characters is incredible. I’ve never seen such a captiving scenario, full of suspens. Conclusion, the five stars are completely diserved, if I could have put more, I would have done it. If you haven’t seen it yet, hurry up!! I recommend this movie 100%. Do you think Thomas and his friends will success to escape ? And are going to brave all of obstacles ? After seeing this movie, don’t hesitate about the second and the third ! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Clément N The Maze Runner is a series of three part, the first part talk about a young boy, named Thomas he has twenty years old and he is the main characters of the story. This part tells a story of this man who is takes places in a labyrinth with others peoples lives also with him, the plot is is more absorbing, there are a lot of actions and monsters. This film has an effect of fear because there are a lot of blood and dark scene. Actors and the plot is more good, the plot is well woven and found very well and actors plays very good. Finally, I recommend this film to anyone loves actions, blood and suspense, the plot is the strong point of this little series. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Stephen L "The Maze Runner" delivers an engaging dystopian mystery with solid world-building and fast-paced action. Dylan O’Brien leads the cast with an earnest performance, while the film’s suspenseful setup keeps the tension high. The maze itself is an intriguing concept, and director Wes Ball maintains a strong sense of atmosphere throughout. While it leans on familiar young-adult tropes and leaves many questions unanswered, The Maze Runner is an entertaining and visually striking entry into the YA sci-fi genre. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Blu B It's Good Enough I'd say. Enough to be called a Young Adult Sci-Fi Classic. It's so obvious this wouldn't have made it to the big screen without the success of The Hunger Games and to an extent that's the biggest problem here. It's just a slightly less inferior version of the first Hunger Games in a sense. Young Adult characters trapped in dystopian Sci-Fi future puzzle. This doesn't really have the same type of commentary as that despite sharing some of the same symbols. The music isn't bad but it can be generic and doesn't leave the biggest impression until the final few scenes I'd say. The acting isn't bad either but it varies to say the least. Some characters are more interesting or better acted than others. Thomas is alright I guess. He doesn't have that memorable a backstory, lacks charisma in the performance despite being a leader and a clear traditional character arc for these types of flicks. And I really struggle to remember much about him. No one really has that much chemistry with each other. Ben and Gally aren't bad. Teresa is alright but I struggle to really see a point for her here since there isn't any romanctic subplot. The direction really isn't anything special either. However, everything else is solid enough. The special effects are good overall but the creature design is very stock and looks like every Sci-Fi CGI alien from the 2010's. It looks so simliar to After Earth and a bunch of others. The maze is a cool idea and this does a good job keeping it focused on the most interesting aspect. What's in the maze and finding a way out. It's this main plot point that drives all the character interactions and follows a logical flow. The drama moments between the other kids in between isn't bad but defintely not as interesting as the maze. But it does work enough, I wanted to learn more, and the ending was good I feel with some good twists and turns. I'm open to seeing more of this world. Anyone who is a fan of Young Adult Sci Fi, any actors in this, the director, or The Hunger Games especially should check this out.
