Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials | In theaters

Recommended Posts





Good thing this film improves on that and isn't meh.

I'm so jealous that you saw this!! Can I ask a few questions?

Was Barry Pepper in this movie at all? I read that he was, but the character he plays is supposed to be only in the third book.

How were the effects/set pieces? I know Maze Runner was pretty good for 34M budget, but how does this one look? Big budget spectacle or still smaller scale?

Yes.

This is more big budget spectacle for sure, def not small scale as TMR

Wtf is going on with reviews lol. Highbrow critics hate it, movie blogs like HeyUGyys, Crave and Collider praise it....YA fatigue?

Seriously, it's an enjoyable film though. And difference between this and Insurgent is probably heaven and earth so...

Basically

Maybe it's me being a biased, hopeful fanboy, but Variety's review reads somewhat positive.

Variety's summary is negative actually, saying the film is unsatisfying and confusing and I imagine that is what RT is using to base whether or not its review is fresh. We can go on and on and on about how RT's methodology isn't exactly fair. But it makes no difference. I mean look at Black Mass and compare it to Scorch. What about comingsoon.net. A 6.5 rating should be fresh, but it is rotten because of how it reads. If you enjoyed the film that's great.

Pretty much this. Kid is so talented.

 

I mostly want this to succeed for him. I found the books "meh".

Yeah, he's a really skilled actor, even better than Lerman. He blew me away with his performance in Teen Wolf season 3B. I hope he can land a major movie role in the near future.
