CJohn Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I enjoyed Hitman and Transporter Refueled and those have a 8% and a 16% RT score, respectively. And I hated Focus which has a 57%. So fuck critics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elcuervo Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Im debating whether or not this was better than Catching Fire. Hunger Games is starting to look like a lesser franchise right now. The Maze Runner was straight up bad, so no. Not the lesser franchise so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalesofToday Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Im debating whether or not this was better than Catching Fire. Hunger Games is starting to look like a lesser franchise right now. Come now. I respect your opinion, but you're just wrong. I actually liked The Maze Runner, but there were serious flaws. if reviews for Scorch are any indication I'm sure I'll find more flaws in this franchise. THG franchise is on a whole different level than TMR, Divergent or Twilight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I did like the first Maze Runner more than the first Hunger Games. Will be interesting to see if that holds up with this vs Catching Fire 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DealWithIt Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The Maze Runner was straight up bad, so no. Not the lesser franchise so far. Maze Runner actually had some action and action that you could see what the hell was happening in the scene. Straight up bad? No. Critics, box office and general word of mouth also say no.

Well MR franchise doesn't have a shitty Twilight level love triangle that the tweens can latch onto so for that alone it'll be smaller. Even if the action and tension in MR alone was better than anything in THG and easily on par with Catching Fire. MJ1 had like one or two sort of action scenes so it doesn't even qualify.

Goffe Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Here is the hard thing about RT Lets say a film has a 90% but every crochet agrees its a low B/B - or a film that has a 50% but half give it an A and half give it a C- Which movie is better? Probably the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, TMR has a bunch of cliches that makes me cringe hard, and the action is meaningless if you aren't invested in the characters, which are laughably bad. The 3 THG are all better than TMR, they are in a whole different level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJG Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I just read the synopsis of the book on Wiki. It'll be interesting to see how fans react to this movie, because it honestly has very little to do with what I just read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing the first movie I knew the second would be pretty different from the book. There was no way they could make it similar to the second book with the stuff they cut from the first book.

Nutterbutter Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Critics Consensus on Rottentomatoes (after 33 reviews?): Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials offers an action-packed improvement over its predecessor, although the franchise still stands in the shadow of more successful YA adaptations.

Could of been worse. Quite neutral imo. This one is going to be close between fresh and rotten. Of course, if it could do $50m OW at the box office it won't matter. Fingers crossed.
