Nothing to rave about

Rating: 5/10 (1 October 2014)

The Maze Runner is based off the young adult fiction novel, and the first of a three part series. If you enjoyed the hunger games, this will have a familiar feel to it. Something about young adult fiction that you can just tell. The Maze Runner is competent for what it set out to do, which is mirror the simplistic story line of the book. Its not per say a BAD movie, however, its not something that you would run to tell your friend about. Also, if you read the book- the story seemed rushed in the film. Thomas arrives at the green and everything seems to pour out almost simultaneously. i enjoyed the book, i really did, but the movie just didn't pace it out well enough. I wasn't connected to the characters or the story line, more just mindlessly observing.
