Maze Runner: A Cura Mortal

All you're gonna see in this movie is a continuous stream of cliches. Sure, if it was released say, in 1970, when none of the superhero/sci-fi/fantasy that today is flooding the audiences was present, it would have been quite enjoyable and watchable. But in today's market it brings nothing new. I could constantly guess what was going to happen at the end of certain action scenes, and don't even get me started about the helicopter scene... that one was supposed to be dramatic and some kind of fitting twist but just left me enraged at the stupidity of the screenwriters/adaptation.

In the end it's quality is on par with the other 2 similar series (Divergent and Hunger Games), so, gets a 5 star "meh" out of me. Good for kids but intelligent people beware!

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.

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.

I'm glad that the filmmakers still found a way to release The Death Cure and not go straight to digital/on demand. It's not that I think this trilogy is among the best post apocalyptic series nor did I really have an ounce of excitement going in, but after Dylan O'Brien had his accident and over 2 years of fans waiting, the ending is here.

If I'm being completely honest, The Death Cure actually served as a perfectly fitting end to an above average young adult series. I don't consider myself a fan per say, but if I was, I'm guessing I would absolutely love this film. It ties up loose ends and finds a way to close out the series in a surprisingly emotional send-off.

It's much different than say The Hunger Games, which ended the series on a completely sour and disappointingly safe note, The Death Cure takes some chances and didn't have the beat for beat moments I expected from a YA adaptation. O'Brien, who is shaping himself out to be a force in this business, provided another solid lead performance and he's surrounded by equally efficient turns from Kaya Scodelario, Aidan Gillen, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Giancarlo Esposito, and Rosa Salazar. None of them take the material too seriously, something the Divergent series had a problem with, but they found a right balance of heart and humor.

It's far from perfect, and for those who don't appreciate a good YA adaptation every once in awhile likely won't find anything here to like, but The Death Cure was immensely better than I expected. Sometimes that's all you need a film to be.

6.9/10

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).
