Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)

An absolute waste of money

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I didn't like the first movie much, gave it a 6. I was upset that from all possibilities they had with the maze, they barely even went into it and all it had was one type of monster. But it turned out to be just a setup for a bigger plot. What the first movie did well though was making me care about the characters. I wanted to see them survive through the sequel.The second movie I liked more. It was predictable, but rather enjoyable. I liked how they developed the story, liked the addition of new characters and new bonds. The late betrayal, the set up for a sequel, it all was done kind of well, made me want to see the next movie. Gave that one solid 7.Now the last movie, this one, yes, it was just as predictable as the second one and full of cliche, generic scenes and average acting, but it did well what it was supposed to do. It drew a nice conclusion to a pretty long story. It also played really well along those bonds that the characters have developed over three movies. I liked that. I also greatly enjoyed how the story developed and how it concluded. For that I give this movie an 8.It made watching two previous ones worth the time. Well done.

I will say exactly what i said about the second film - it is an action packed PG-13 sci-fi action movie for teenagers, it is not to be critically dismembered like an amazing psychological drama, it is pure action for kids to enjoy. Is it a bad movie? No, you just have to watch it with the right mindset. Do not expect clever plot twists, intelligent dialogue or original and witty scenes Expect hollywood action movie cliche after cliche and just sit back, relax and enjoy the shooting, running, chasing and stuff getting blown up non-stop for more than 2 hours. This movie never stops when it comes to action, it starts with loads of it and never eases the tension, there's always something bigger happening, a remarkable achievement on that front. This movie has done an absolutely excellent job entertaining the target audience, more serious movie critics simply need to come down from their high horses and realize this movie is not to be taken seriously. Know what you are watching before you are watching it, since this is already part 3 of the franchise everyone should know fairly well what they are heading into. Have an open mind, relax and enjoy!

Let's get one thing straight from the start, the films in this series are such poor reflections of the books it is painful. The first film was circa 30% of the book, the second about 10% and this film was barely recognizable at all - it was total garbage. Don't go see this naff adaptation of the book, buy the books instead. If they had adapted the books correctly and made the films true to the same then they would have been a huge hit and not the weak drivel that they are. Disappointed beyond belief.

More plot holes and Extreme cliches than there are seconds in it.
