Read The Book Instead! You Won't Regret It!

Rating: 5/10 (24 January 2015)

Seriously, the book is good, but compared to the film it is awesome! You can read the book very quickly and the story and characters are built from a much better base than the lightweight characters portrayed in the film. The story is modified, to it's detriment, and leaves the viewer feeling lost and nowhere near as involved and committed to the characters. The whole film is rushed and hugely disappointing.
Personally I feel like the casting of Alby and Newt was poor, with that said the vast majority of the rest of cast were a great fit despite some rather questionable hairstyles...
In comparison, The Hunger Games movies are incredible and rival the books, unfortunately the same cannot be said for The Maze Runner.
