Klingo Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Thought the movie was good. Dragged out a bit, but it was entertaining. The cast was good and the graphics was good. It was definitely different from the book. But I would say it was a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutterbutter Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Revised critics consensus on Rottentomatoes: Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is an action-packed sequel at the cost of story, urgency and mystery that the original offered.

John Marston Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Damn this was really different than the first. Turned into The Last of Us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Damn this was really different than the first. Turned into The Last of Us One thing this movie really doesn't do well is provide a jumping on point. If someone hasn't watched the first movie they will be completely lost in this one. There are plenty of references to the maze and things which happened in the first part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it (no matter how much good it did) I have to admit that it requires at least basic knowledge of the previous installment.

They made references on the previous movie, but we don't need a recap. If the newbies haven't seen the first one before watching this, too bad for them.

Yeah, I thought this aspect was very poor. It's virtually unwatchable to people who haven't seen the first one, which is naturally very limiting to both its own narrative, and the audience.

CJohn Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Tbh, I have no idea what you all are talking about. It is exactly like Catching Fire, Mockingjay Part 1 or Insurgent. Or even the MCU. Edited September 20, 2015 by CJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the intro was awesome getting the audience into the world even if they didn't put a recap of recent events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Tell them to watch the first one. I'm that's my point. Cjohn is saying its fine for people who haven't seen the first one. I'm saying its not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) I'm that's my point. Cjohn is saying its fine for people who haven't seen the first one. I'm saying its not. I never said that. I said Catching Fire, MJ1 and Insurgent also need people to watch the first in order to understand what is happening in the 2nd. You guys said that is bad to not have a recap of the first movie and I gave those examples to explain why I think it is not. People should just do at least a quick search of what the first is about before seeing the 2nd. I agree that if someone goes see Scorch Trials without seeing Maze Runner won't understand much, but that is a problem of those people.
