Good acting, amazing action and better than mediocre.

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2014)

When I first heard about that the book was being made into a film I was doubtful, but it surprised me very well. Dylan O'Brien unexpectedly did extremely good and so did Wes Ball at directing, and what about Will Poulter with another fantastic performance. Now the book was obviously better because it has many differences and took risks with language and violence but it's toned down in this film. Thomas has a lot more emotional tense moments in the book and that's why I liked it so much and the movie converted some, meanwhile Teresa was way under used in the film. Now when Thomas, Newt and the others make it out and find the outside world in the book it lasts longer and here its too quick, especially the death of Gally and Chuck. There is the most obvious "There's gonna be a sequel scene ever" I mean hey there's other books, but Jesus you don't have to force the upcoming sequel in our faces. I enjoyed the film so much from start to finish and The Runners' have a bright future for the big screen.
