Maze Runner: Prova de Fogo

The Maze Runner films are an Awesome Trilogy & i think i like this part "The Scorch Trials" best. Here Thomas & his crew are on the run into the dangerous desert wastelands called The Scorched Earth, a place full of Danger & most dangerous of all are the Infected humans who have turned into Zombie creatures called Cranks. These "Cranks" look Awesome & make for terrifying creatures that are out there ready to rip-apart any human. This film has a more Horror feel to it & that's why i loved it best. There's an incredible, intense & exciting sequence where Thomas & his gang are in a buried building in the sand & it's dark & scary & full of ferocious killer Cranks that chase them through the big old building/Mall type place & it's so intense & scary & a proper Horror movie scene. The characters are all great again here, especially Thomas as the troubled leader of the group & we get, much later in the movie, a great Little role from Barry Pepper, one of the most underrated actors out there & one of my personal favourite actors ever!!! Here the always intense & rugged Barry Pepper plays a tough wasteland warrior named Vince & although it's a small part for Pepper it's a great role & he steals the show as soon as he's on screen. Here Thomas must survive the scorched earth & evade the evil WKD empire. A thrilling adventure.

The Scorch Trials is a blast of Action & Apocalyptic sci-fi Horror with a great ensemble cast & great effects.

Lets face it. The Maze Runner films are not great. They are good, but not that good. While the film was fun to watch it was full of already seen scenes. Not really original. Director did a good job, not that bad. Screenplay could have been better. You expect to see some of the cool post-apocalyptic cities and landscapes, but you do not get enough of that. A lot of cliché moments in the film. Should have been a little shorter. Also there are some illogical decision that characters made in the film, cannot really get into it without spoiling something. They tried to give it a little twist but it was not that surprising. Irritated me a little bit. Acting was good. I actually liked how they edited it out, not bad. Cinematography is good. All in all a good, fun film to watch. Everyone knew it was not going to be a masterpiece.

Arguably maybe it even deserves 6/10. I was wondering what to give it, but because I like these kind of films it made my decision easier and I gave it 7/10.

I had a feeling after watching the first movie and noticing the parts that were incorrect or never happened in the book, but I still had some hope that maybe, just maybe this movie would be watchable. I was wrong. First of all, Mr. Wes Ball, do me a favor and never produce another movie again, and if you so feel inclined to embaress yourself again, maybe actually read the book before making a movie about it. The movie was so far from what actually happened its disgraceful. One of the biggest concepts of the plot of the book was the actual "Scorch Trials," which was never even explained or touched in the movie, it was just teenagers and a middle aged man running in a post apoctlyptic town with zombies looking for "The Right Hand" which doesn't even exist in the book. There was no plot and a bunch of characters and scenarios were added for no reason. The book has 360 pages of pure gold and the director just went completely rogue and made up his own concept. quite honestly, the director could have did that exact same movie and just gave it a differt title and changed the characters names and no one would even make the connection that it was even The Maze Runner series, thats how completely far off it was. and yes, I could not even finish the movie. I was that furious ans disgusted with whatever it was Wes Ball did. Do not bother watching if you enjoyed the book.

I am so unbelievably unhappy with this movie! The writer of the script has completely dissed the original most exciting plot from the books to some stupid ridiculous mainstream apocalyptic story.

None of this happens in the book. None of it makes sense. It's called "The Scorch Trials" as in trials from wickd. Not some stupid escape adventure! I was so excited for this movie and I'm going to be honest, I left the cinema fuming with anger. If you're going to create a movie based on a book, actually go by the book plot. Don't make you're own and expect everyone to be happy with it. I'm sure the writer of the movies just ticked off an entire fandom.

I did not read the book.

I watched the trilogy in 1 go, treating it like a 6-hour long single movie.

Watch it that way and it works :)

Watch any of the 3 episodes alone and it will not work (hence the many bad reviews here)
