Movie Review: Maze Runner - The Scorch Trials

Last year we got another in a long line of young adult dystopian future novel adaptations in The Maze Runner. I went in hoping it would wash the bad taste of The Giver, which was released shortly before it, out of my mouth. It did, sort of. It was a movie that was always in motion and successfully distracted me from a pretty poorly written movie. Somehow it managed to be enough to entice me to come back for the sequel. It was touch and go for a minute, but I went. With that said, I am thinking I may not come back for the third.

Movie Review: The Maze Runner

If there is one genre I am beginning to grow weary of, it is the Young Adult Dystopian Future Novel Adaptations. All right, maybe that isn't a genre, but I think you get what I am getting at. I have not seen all of them, but lately it seems I have not been picking them all that well. It seems that outside of the Hunger Games films, they just don't work for me. One of the recent releases I took in turned out to be a disaster of blandness, that being The Giver. Well, for some reason I decided to brave the darkened theater and went to see The Maze Runner. I left thinking I had made a decent choice; however, the more I think about it, the more I realize it was another bad decision.
