+Monster flick +Surprisingly well acted +Suspensful -Some stupid dialogue 7. Plus, having Littlefinger as the next villain gets me pretty excited. So I really only watched this because I'm probably going to see the sequel this weekend, and i ended up enjoying the movie. The 'Greavers' also proved to be pretty terrifying, something I didn't think I would say about a film with a bunch of teenagers. The horror element to the film was by far the most intriguing, and had the biggest payoff. And they made the film into a more traditional monster film than I'm sure the book originally called for, but it really works. With that being said, the mythology behind the story is pretty interesting. But the writing had him doing some really stupid things and was full of forced dialogue I felt. Will Poulter, who played a much different character in We're The Millers, was solid in the role that was given to him. This wiki contains major spoilers from the book series and the movies, and they are in no way censored. The writing itself I thought could have been a little smarter and more mature. The Maze Runner Wiki is a free, public and collaborative encyclopedia dedicated to James Dashner's Maze Runner series that anyone can edit This wiki is meant for a better understanding of the series, and for a strong, friendly community. The role doesn't require a ton of range, but I think he proved he can lead a huge action film, and not many actors can say that. Let me be the first to say I think O'Brien has some chops and definitely has a future in this business. Dylan O'Brien, from Teen Wolf fame, is thrown into a maze structure along with a few dozen other young men who soon find there is more to the maze than they were led to believe. For an age in which the medium is flooded with young adult novels and movies, the film feels fresh and isn't overwhelmed by clichés like so many others are. The Maze Runner is actually a surprisingly entertaining movie. This is one of the biggest problems with Hollywood, but that's a discussion for another day. For comparison, Fantastic Four had a budget of 120 million and the effects and so called 'set pieces' were awful. For a film that is budgeted at merely 34 million dollars, this film visually looks really good. The Maze Runner is a 2009 young adult dystopian science fiction novel written by American author James Dashner and the first book released in The Maze.
