What viewers say about The Maze Runner
Selected viewer reactions, in their own words. These excerpts reflect individual opinions, not an overall verdict.
Viewer reaction
“Re-watching The Maze Runner was a pleasant experience, and I still enjoyed it as much as I did the first time.”
Viewer reaction
“Another forgettable Game of Ender/Hunger Games/Divergent clone. In this case, to compensate that the main characters are often women, we just make the whole cast…”
Viewer reaction
“One thing that I liked about this movie from the start was that it was, in my limited experience at least, somewhat original.”
More reactions (2)
Viewer reaction
“It was a good movie as far as it goes -- resourceful characters deprived of both freedom and their memories manage to build a society…”
Viewer reaction
“Much better than the marketing would have you assume.”
