Beyond the visuals, what makes The Maze Runner so compelling is its attention-grabbing storyline.

First-time feature director Wes Ball's version of The Maze Runner makes the cliches smell daisy-fresh.

i think this film is very well adapted from the original book it’s the best out of the 3 films by far because it’s got all the characters. i also think the acting is incredible especially dylan o’brien (thomas) he really brings the emotion to the character and makes the film that much better. the film contains a very good cast who are all exceptional actors/actresses who are very talented and just make the film feel real and make you believe they are actually going through it. if you like sci-fi this film is definitely for you!

The first two-thirds of The Maze Runner are a clever feat of fantasy world building. It's thrilling, twisty, and as mysterious as the mammoth Skinner Box environment the film takes place in. But the promising set-up raises so many puzzle-piece questions that when it's all finally explained in the final reel, you can't help feeling a bit gypped.

It's also both intense and entertaining enough to leave audiences hungry for the inevitable sequel so clearly set up by its cliffhanger ending.

For its first half or so, The Maze Runner tells a captivating tale of survival and weaves a potentially interesting mystery. Once its path become clear, however, you realize this is a puzzle you've worked out before.

Fans of the novel might get some minor thrills from the big screen adaptation, but it's hard to understand what made the material so popular in the first place.

Really nice and compelling children's movie, very engaging and good in all respects. It does not have too many defects and is really suitable for the whole family even if at times it is perhaps a little too raw.

Very particular film with a well-developed plot. The development is well done, maintaining high concentration throughout the entire film and without ever falling into banality and without ever decreasing the suspense around the events. It leaves room for a subsequent chapter with excellent foundations.
