Maze Runner - Die Auserwählten in der Todeszone

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.

Looking through the other reviews I have to laugh at how many 1 out of 10 or 2 out of 10 reviews there are.

I refuse to believe any fans of the first two could honestly think this movie deserves anything near that low. A 1 or 2 out of 10 would be something like Troll 2, not The Death Cure.

There were definitely a few scenes where I predicted what was going to happen. Big deal, that happens in most movies these days. It's 2018, I dare ANYONE to write a movie without a scene or two like that. There are only so many possible outcomes to a scene.

The love story frustrated me, but I don't really hold that too much against the movie. I expected things to go one way, they didn't. The way they did go is hard for me to relate to due to the character development, or lack thereof in this instance.

The action is awesome. The movie is long, but didn't feel that way at all. I have to laugh at all the reviewers with the attention span of a gnat crying about the run time. Those people are the reasons we see so many movies squashed into two hour max time limits, which severely screws up a LOT of movies.

Well, thank the impatient people that can't go more than 2 hours without checking their social media. Maybe the all theaters need to start having intermissions so all the people with unhealthy phone addictions can get a quick fix. That way we won't have to have all our movies limited to less than two hours by the studios, making many of them a jumbled mess with obvious material cut out?

The ending of this finale was fitting, I enjoyed the letter from Newt. It did a great job of bringing you back to their beginning in the Glade and reminding you just how far our first group has come from the minute they were shot up an elevator with no memory or identity.

So, if you enjoyed the first two I think you will enjoy this one as well. I am not sure what the 1 and 2 out of 10 reviewers were expecting, but this movie deserves at least a 7 rating IMO. It's pretty close as far as the avg rating goes, even with the ridiculously low ratings by the impatient minds out there. I refuse to bump my rating up to imbalance those who rate movies like a child crying for a candy bar at the checkout aisle.

If a 10 dollar movie ticket is going to make you feel like you broke the bank if you don't end up loving the movie, wait and catch it on RedBox. Don't take it out on the movie with a ridiculously low rating.

7/10, a much better finale than Hunger Games got.

Firstly, I do not think the "Death Cure" does follow the stereotype of a teenage basic movie, in which probably a all romance between Thomas and Teresa would happen during the entire saga. Actually, the film creates a strong story meaning of friendship between this entire group that started as strangers that had to learn how to trust eachother. It's not just like any other teenager movie, like the hunger games or the divergent in which this kids are destined to compete and kill eachother. In this movie though, this group of young people fight and look to find a solution (by not torturing teenagers) for a possible real life situation (apocalypse) and a serious problem that the world is dealing with in that moment.

Secondly, I understand the point that you think Dylan O'Brien acting is mediocre, however, for an actor who has never been to an acting school, I think he has developed and progressed alot ever since his first role in Teen Wolf. So don't just criticize his acting abilities, for not expressing well, because his role has a very complex persona to interpret (and never forget...he is still learning).

I was actually quite impressed with the first movie, as it had elements that I highly enjoy (ala the cult Cube movies) but for a younger demographic, although managing to keep me entertained.

The 2nd movie was a bit of a coming to age for the cast through the hardships they had gone through, and some great additions to the cast.

This last one is predictable, full of action but does hold some genuine surprises. I wasn't so idiotic to walk into these movies thinking they were made for me, someone who just turned 30. The movie cover for the first movie immediately informed me that I was not in the target demographic. This is a teen movie, riding the surf that The Hunger Games created. Once that was in my head I could switch off my brain a little and enjoy the movie for what it was.

The same goes for this movie. It does hold tension, but it's very easy to guess the outcome of almost every scene. The one quarrel I do have with this film is the inclusion of some new characters that didn't make much sense, whilst not building up on some of the existing characters that had been introduced in the 2nd movie.

Overall I have enjoyed this franchise. It hasn't been the most solid set of movies ever, but once again, I know I'm not the target demographic.

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.
