“The Maze Runner” movie review

The+Maze+Runner+movie+review

Last Friday on Sept. 19 the movie “The Maze Runner” came out. The movie was based off of James Dashner’s book “The Maze Runner”.

I am a person who really compares movies to books to see how well they match up, and with this movie I was a little disappointed. While there were a lot of things from the book matching with the movie, there was also a lot changed.

Some things in the movie happened in a different order than they happened in the book. Characters in the book also seemed very different in the movie. The character Gally always hated Thomas in the book, and in the movie his hatred wasn’t as evident in the beginning or even part of the middle. The character Alby was also portrayed very differently in the movie than he was portrayed in the book.

The setting in the movie is also different than it was in the book. They changed some of the places and part of the maze for the movie. There was a cliff which was important in the book, but it was not put into the movie.

In the beginning of the movie I could already tell that things were going to be very different than the book. There were a lot of scenes and people changed already during the first part of it.

However, even with all of the things changed I still really enjoyed the movie. It was entertaining, and I think they choose the perfect person to play Thomas. I think the movie itself was very good. It was very suspenseful and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I also think all of the other actors and actresses did a wonderful job playing their roles. I just wish the movie had been more like the book, but overall I really liked it. I would recommend this movie for action lovers, and I think fans of the book will still really enjoy it even with its differences from the book.
