A Good Movie Because It Is Similar To The Book

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2015)

I give this rating because I judge movies based on how well they correlate with the book off which they were based. This movie was very similar to the book and so it deserves a high rating.
The Maze Runner movie was entertaining, had audiences on the edge their seats during suspenseful scenes, and adequately captivated audiences for the entire movie. The maze and the Grievers were similar to how I pictured them in the book. While this movie is an obvious attempt to make money off of a semi-popular book, it was in fact a good movie and I would recommend it for anyone to watch.
Although I would have preferred it if the code for exiting the maze would have been the same as in the book where a series of words allowed the doors to open, the movie version was simpler and therefore tolerable. However, when the Grievers attacked the Gladers I would have liked it better if they killed off one person at a time because it makes more sense with the overall point of the trilogy. Speaking of the overall point of the trilogy, I do not understand how spending millions of dollars to send teenagers into a deadly maze would help them solve a disease affecting the entire world. Still a good movie to watch though, and I stand by my recommendation for people to watch it.
