Review of The Maze Runner

I guess I'm a sucker for these young adult stories getting made into film like Divergent and The Hunger Games. I was also interested because it just looked plain awesome. I don't see why there is a reason to care for the why of the film. I am totally invested of the here and now of it. As long as somewhere down the line of the series they do some sort of explanation. The acting is pretty decent. I wish there was more action here, but when it does happen it's pretty awesome. The first half was kind of slow as usual for these kinds of films, but the last half more than makes up for it. I'm a little skeptical on the ending though, but hey everything has a plot hole. I thought the characters were interesting and unique. It was definitely worth the watch.

Additional Note: I do agree with Joshua though with the Lord of the Flies and Hunger Games likeness. I even think the youngest Chuck reminds me of the kid from Goonies. Who cares if the movie has been similarly done before. Everyone has a different way of telling the same kind of story and I think this one was interesting enough. It could have been better which I'm sure the second one will be much improved.
