What an interesting movie The Maze Runner turned out to be. I don't want to lie and say that I instantly loved The Maze Runner when I read it, in face the first time I tried reading of it I got bored within the first few chapters and decided to drop the book then. Two years later I brought the book with me on a summer vacation and on my way home from the vacation, I read all three books in the main trilogy, having a better understanding and taking my time to appreciate what the books were, a great read.
Seeing the first trailer for the film got me very excited that one of my favorite series of books was coming to the big screen, and it looked great so I wasn't worrying that much that this would turn into a crappy adaptation of a great book, and for the most part I was satisfied. The premise for the film is rather interesting, a boy wakes up in an elevator with no recollection of anything about himself or how he ended up there. Soon he reaches his stop, and is greeted by a group of boys who he doesn't know. Quicker then he can remember his name he is integrated into their society, becoming a Glader. A member of the society that lives in The Glade, trapped inside the ever changing puzzle, The Maze.
While I thoroughly enjoyed the movie I had a few complaints with the pacing and the rather rushed ending, which were both problems that I encountered within the book. Also the movie did change a few things and left some stuff out from the book which I can understand due to time restraints. Overall I give The Maze Runner:
