bcf26 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I've always wondered: Does RT or the individual critic decide whether a review falls under fresh or rotten? Critics give their reviews. RT decides if it is fresh or rotten. I remember in one RT podcast that they discussed about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 This strikes me as another Insurgent: similar opening to its predecessor, slightly less total overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 It's better than MJ1. There, I said it. It is not hard to be better than MJ1. Maze Runner was a far superior movie in comparison. Hell, even Insurgent was better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly disappointing to see these reviews though. I never like to see any movie get bad reviews, even the ones I know is going to get bad reviews I root for. But, it happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that's what will happen here. Because seriously, the movie's great fun, shame about the reviews. At least it seems the more blogger-type people are giving it more positive reviews.

MovieMan89 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I was expecting Maze Runner was rotten at rt. Well, very likely this is happening now. Even so, I DOUBT this is worse than MJ1 MJ1 was a very competently made movie that managed to still be engaging despite nary a lick of action. Anyways, I'm bummed at the early reviews. I'm sure I'll like it better than critics cause I thought the first was better than a 64%, but I was hoping this one would be even better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antovolk Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Great review from Faraci: http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2015/09/09/maze-runner-the-scorch-trials-review-lost-in-the-wasteland Great point on Ball being a. "Master magician" - with great directing you can really largely ignore the story/narrative mishaps and just enjoy the ride. Then you mull over it for a bit.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antovolk Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Huh? That review is very mixed. I meant the review itself, not his opinion on the film. After mulling over the film a bit I do agree with the points with the issues etc, I guess though in my case taking all of these into account I still enjoyed the film a lot more than the first so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
