The Maze Runner discussion

Can we just talk about the movie? What did you like about it? What did you hate?

I was so conflicted when I saw this! Some things had to be changed because the book and the film obviously can't be the same. But some things should have been left untouched. I do love what they did with Gally, I feel like he bugs me less now when I read it.(Even though he's still a shuckface) But why kill him! good crap! what are they gonna do for like, a fourth of the Death Cure!!!!!? That was too big of a change for me. I was happy and mad about Alby. He was supposed to be totally mean, but I do like him as a cozy leader. I felt like Teresa was also well put together. Her character was much more developed in the movie than I felt it was in the book. Chronologically, I thought it could use some mprovement. there were some scenes I didn't think were necessary for the movie but whatever. I don't like how they escaped. The whole Section 7 thing was dumb. I was looking forward to Float Catch Bleed Death Stiff Push even if it wasn't done the way Thomas did with the wax paper and all. I know the whole Changing process would have been way too much to explain in a movie but I still hated it. The acting of the main characters (Dylan, Thomas, Kaya, Blake, Aml and Will) was fabulous. The others, not so much. The doors scene, where Thomas goes out, sucked klunk. Bad. Terribly put together. I like the soundtrack, a couple of songs, if you listen to soundtrack, are really good, some are just kind of average. Its kind of a cross between Enders Game music by Steve Jablonsky, and Lost by Michael Giacchino.
I suppose it was pretty good for their budget, but I was proud and disappointed at the same time. I can't wait for Scorch Trials, (Even though I am not happy about the UNOFFICIAL announcement of Hailee Steinfeild playing Brenda) and I'm excited to see Thomas Brodie-Sangster go crazy in Death Cure.

Just looked on IMDb, and they sad its Michelle rodriguez. I take it back. I prefer Hailee. I think Mishelle is a mistake. that cant be right!

Where did you see that in IMDB? I just looked there and it says Rosa Salazar (whoever that is) is going to play Brenda.

About the movie. I liked it. I really liked it. As I've learned to do, I took off my book-glasses to watch it, and even though sometimes I found myself trying to guess the lines or what was going to happen next, it actually worked pretty well. I knew there were going to be a lot of changes from the book, it made sense, but I liked those changes. I think the movie works great independently of the books, and that's what a movie has to do (something in which, for example, Ender's Game fails horribly).

I like how they simplified it. No telepathy, no numeric code made with the maps of the maze, no invisible door in the cliff, no plain-grey-fake sky. But the story works perfectly without those things. The "heart of the griever" thing and how it worked as a guide and a key was clever, and Gally's rebellion was really entertaining too.

But the best of all was the MAZE. Beautifully designed, terrifying place, and... boy! Those grievers were incredible. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the movie.

I do think the ending explained a little bit too much, but I get it. It would be shitty for viewers who haven't read the books if they left them with all those question and almost no answers at all, like the book did at that point.

I also wonder what are they going to do without Gally, but I'm sure they'll manage when it comes to that.

PS: Chuuuuuck :( ... Though it wasn't too bad for me anyway, I was emotionally prepared for it.

PPS: (view spoiler)[Poor Thomas Brodie-Sangster. He dies in Game of Thrones, he'll die in The Death Cure... He's like a young new Sean Bean. (hide spoiler)]

brenda cast already choosen... rosa salazar.. and i guess.. it's exactly like i imagine XD

i do like the movie despite so many changed of it... i watched it twice and i still felt so amazed.. but i kinda regret there was no character building out there.. which is the most important thing from book.. and i hate the fact they made minho and newt not too important as they used to be like on the book T.T

Kaya scodelario posted on twitter that she welcome Rosa Salazar to the cast of the Scorch Trials! Maze Runner Movie also posted on twitter the Rosa Salazer will play the role of Brenda! ROSA SALAZAR IS OFFICIALLY CAST FOR BRENDA!

Sean Bean? I don't see it but, I think he kinda looks like a teenage version of Martin Freeman. Teenage Bilbo.

I wasn't talking about his looks. Sean Bean is well known for dying as almost every character he plays.

I see now...
