Overall

Rating: 7/10 (27 September 2014)

While the movie was well done and the characters were portrayed alright, I still find it a bit irritating that the movie doesn't exactly go with the book. I understand the maybe they had trouble with the budget, but I still would've liked to have seen Gally taken back to WICKED by a griever. And for Chuck to be stabbed instead of shot. Along with the Gladers seeing Ava Paige and Gally at WICKED walk in and then have the Rescuers come in and start shooting. I understand that maybe the director had other ideas, but I would have preferred the movie to go by the book. Also, that fact that the grievers weren't slugs bugged me. And that the griever whole was just sort of a door instead of a cliff with an invisible hole bugged me. Overall, the movie was alright, but again, I would've preferred it to go by the book.
