They should rename it "The Maze Ender"

Rating: 5/10 (30 September 2014)

That's gotta be the least interesting maze ever! I was expecting a Harry Potter or Labyrinth-like kind of maze, but this one has no "mystic" in it. It felt mechanical, just like the whole movie. The only enemies were the grievers and falling/crushing walls.
I would have given this movie an 8-9 if Minho was the main protagonist, not the bland, stereotype white male character like Thomas. Seriously, Minho is the true "Maze Runner", not a hack like Thomas. Minho memorized the maze, is on par with Thomas when it comes to running and very smart, so why is Thomas the one mentioned as the most accomplished in the end but not Minho? Why are there no females in the experiment (Theresa did not count since she is a researcher)? Are they only going to make a super powered males? Good luck repopulating then. Speaking of Theresa, I disliked her the moment she stated crying when she found out that she was a researcher. How the heck did Gally got to the control room with no problem? Like, seriously, there was a safe shortcut the whole time? This movie felt like a rip off of Lord of the Flies, Catching Fire, Dangan Ronpa and Cabin in the Woods.
Honestly, this movie has a potential but I'm not interested in the sequel. Instead, I wanna see the prequel and hope that it focuses on Minho's exploration of the maze, how Gally and Alby set up the rules and the mystic of the maze itself.
