Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

I was really excited about the first film. The labyrinth idea was great, the not knowing, the mystery... But now the truth about this world started to come out more and more and I was bored with the film and hoped it would end soon. I don't care much about this development anymore, and I can't imagine a third installment could save it. (23/11/2015)

In terms of pure craftsmanship, it's pretty good (it has an impressive setting in a post-apocalyptic world), but my question is about the literary source: who writes these verbal diarrhea and, more importantly, who reads them? “Twilight”, “Divergence”, “Labyrinth”, “Hunger Games”, just one literary crap after another, all obviously intended for teenage readers whose mental world I don't understand and don't want to.

An upward tendency. The Scorch Trials looks better and the action is first-rate. The thugs are carbon copies from those in World War Z, but for a kids’ film they are quite scary enough. Bali has the direction firmly in hand, but sometimes the story (btw extremely different from the book) sometimes trips him up. In terms of acting, still quite endearing and the hired “stars" really enjoy their supporting roles. If you stop with part three, you’ll be happy. (19/09/2015)
