Adventrous in parts!

Rating: 6/10 (14 December 2014)

Based on James Dashner's 2009 novel of the same name, 'The Maze Runner' boasts an innovative concept along-with some exhilarating action-sequences, but when it comes to overall adventure, this recent box-office hit, offers it in some portions.
'The Maze Runner' Synopsis: Thomas is deposited in a community of boys after his memory is erased, soon learning they're all trapped in a maze that will require him to join forces with fellow "runners" for a shot at escape
'The Maze Runner' has a dull first-hour, where the story builds up slowly. The second-hour is when the true adventure kicks in & you begin you enjoy yourself.
Noah Oppenheim, Grant Pierce Myers & T.S. Nowlin's Adapted Screenplay isn't strong enough, despite tremendous potential. Its got its share of thrills, but a mostly dull first-hour, puts you off. Wes Ball's Direction is credible. Cinematography is sharp. Editing is average. Graphics are outstanding. Art & Costume Design are fair.
Performance-Wise: Dylan O'Brien, in the lead role, delivers capably. Kaya Scodelario is okay. Thomas Brodie-Sangster is efficient. Blake Cooper leaves a strong impression.
On the whole, 'The Maze Runner' is partly fun. That's about it!
