Fan or the books, Not the movie

Rating: 4/10 (27 September 2014)

For those of you who have READ the Maze Runner books BEFORE the movie came out and LOVED the books then don't go see the movie. It's absolutely NOTHING like the books we all loved and enjoyed. They changed EVERYTHING, and I don't mean a few important things like they did in The Hunger Games or Divergent or even the ever so absolutely beyond horrible movie adaptation of Twilight. I mean they changed EVERYTHING. From the very beginning you notice what they've changed. The movie on it's own is good, but compared to the books, which by the way it's suppose to be because it's based off of them, it SUCKED. I went into the movie theater knowing they changed things, like every book to movie adaptation, but here, they didn't just change a little, they changed a lot. And to me, a HUGE fan of the books, it's not okay and it will never be okay. I honestly could punch the director, then punch the screen writer, then punch James Dasher because he knew what they did and didn't say a thing. It's just. no. I can't. I honestly can't.
I love Dylan O'Brien, I've loved him since day one of Teen Wolf and I love him as Thomas, because when I read the books, I can see him as Thomas. Hell, the whole reason I got into the books was because I heard he got the part as Thomas and I read the summery of what the movie was about and I went out and bought the book and read it in a day. I expected a lot out of this movie because of the fact that it was suppose to come out on Valentines day but they pushed the date back to September to work on the film. I understand that they only had a small budget compared to other movies but come on! The only thing that was the same from the book to the movie was the name and the names of the Gladers.
