Maze Runner: A Cura Mortal

This very average film started with cliché after cliché and never improved. I didn't have a connection with any of the characters and couldn't care if they all died. Acting was not convincing. All in all it was a waste of time watching it. I barely made it through to the end. I turned off during another rousing speech by one of the main characters. I forget his name. In fact, I forgot most of their names so it shows what little impact this film had on me. My advice - don't waste your time with this film. You'll feel better for it. Watching paint dry would be more entertaining.

This film was a great finale for the Maze Runner triology series. I'm not sure why all the hate, it was in line with the last film, yet still not as good as the first one. But certainly not worth all the 1's! Awesome special effects and cinematography, great directing and on point acting. Sure the ending was a little mushy, but still a great and enjoyable watch. A well deserved 8/10 from me.

I can't explain how much dissapointed I am with this movie. It felt like 2 hours of nothing more that explosions and running from one place to another with a ton of visual effects to fill the gap. Gutted with the movie. I felt that the movie has so much cringe scenes that it makes me wanna gag. We go to WCKD, than WCKD are chasing us, than they take our friend so we must go back to WCKD and that is it. Also, so many unexplained loopholes and also stupid ways to die... I guess I am giving it a 6/10 cause of the respect for the previous titles.

Yes, it's a young adult story. Yes, it's got all the shortcomings of lazy writing. Yes, it's all incredible beautiful teens fighting the evil uncaring adults who envy them their youth. And with all that, Maze Runner had something in the first movie that made me want to watch it. Some sort of story, maybe the acting, maybe the whole thing. I just enjoyed it. So I watched the second movie to see what happens and then this piece of crap from pure inertia. And it was just not worth it.

Imagine two hours and twenty minutes that could have been compressed into a five minute How It Should Have Ended animation (which would have been better). Kids are good, WICKED is bad (duh!), bullets kind of care about that because they fly away from the good guys and things just happen to be where you need them to be for them to escape and not kill anyone, not even the bad guys, because they are the good guys. A lot of talk, a lot of talk, then some talk, followed by more talk. The last part of the movie has all the action sequences and they are all Michael Bayish.

Bottom line: I don't think they even tried to make it a good movie. It was all algorithmic. Why end a series that at least started interesting with a twist, or some nice action, or anything resembling a story? No. Take any other YA movie and copy paste it over these characters. It's like creativity costs money for these people. It's like it hurts them, like the sun kills bugs. It was so boring that it wasn't even funny.

When you can predict the next move in a scene that is supposed to be thrilling. It ain't so thrilling. The movie was to long. It probably wouldn't hurt cutting it half hour shorter. The villain "Little finger" was stuck in the Little finger role. I rated it 6 before I started writing the review, lowering it to 5.
