Going in the original Maze Runner I had low expectations, but the movie surprised me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So when the sequel came out I had to watch it, but the only thing I was concerned about was the avenue with which they were going to take the story. were they going to re-use the maze story again, what were they going to do to make this sequel any good.
But once again Wes Ball the director of the movie proved me wrong. This movie was just as good as the first and kept you interested start to finish. This is probably one of the better trilogies I’ve sat through in the past years.
It is the continuing story of the gladers and now in a desolate landscape face a series of obstacles. Yes seems unappealing but it’s action packed, just like the first and kind of reminds me a bit of World War Z in some elements. Although these films haven’t made me want to read the books they’ve made me anticipate the third movie eagerly.
4 out of 5 stars
