Regardless there’s no real need to finish the story here. Whatever you think of it it’s a bit surprising to see something that was all the rage in 2014-2015…when all of these adaptations began and the Twilight saga was nearing its conclusion. The YA genre has seemed, in recent years, to have fallen by the wayside. Unless your a diehard fan of this series the final entry is certainly the first in the series I’d recommend you skip. Much like the other two properties the last film in the series ( Mockingjay Part 2) and ( Insurgent, whose last film we still haven’t seen) was the worst in the series. Our Grade: D, The least thrilling of the series this trilogy petered out like some sort of scolded dog over to the corner. : Maze Runner: The Death Cure : Dylan OBrien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Giancarlo Esposito, Aidan Gillen, Walton Goggins. Ball has kept the vision of the trilogy consistent and for that he deserves praise. O’Brien is still good at making you root for Thomas but the villains and sub-protagonist come off as too one-dimensional. Those films were just the right length while this one at almost two and a half hours is just far FAR too long. Not as good as Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials or the original Maze Runner. Ben shrieks and howls in terror as the walls close on him. At dusk, the leaders, called Keepers, bring Ben from prison and push him into the Maze for attempting to murder Thomas. Dylan O’Brien almost died filming the movie’s opening, a scene that wasn’t even in the book. This Runner, Minho, tells Alby and Thomas that he found a dead Griever in the Maze. Where other YA adaptation of varying quality from The Hunger Games(good) to the Divergent Series(bad) have since ended this still had this very last film to go.That the film was delayed an entire year didn’t help matters. What We Think: This was the perfect time to end this series. Thomas (O’Brien) our hero from the previous two is back! With him are his gaggle of freedom fighters all searching for their missing friend Minho (Hong Lee) and running away from WCKD’s leader Ava Paige (Patricia Clarkson) and her right hand…man? Teresa (Scodelario), who betrayed the group previously. Nowlin - Wes Ball - James Dashner Writer credits: T.S. What It Is: The grand finale of the YA series centered around the ironically named corporate WCKD and their attempts to use teenagers as a cure for a disease known as the “Flare”. The third book in the New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series - now a series of major movies starring Dylan OBrien SEE THE FILMS. Young hero Thomas embarks on a mission to find a cure for a deadly disease known as 'The Flare'. Starring: Dylan O’Brien, Ki Hong Lee, Kaya Scodelario
