Dan’s pun always make me look forward to these reviews 😂
Spoiler!!!!
No, it’s not in the book. It’s explained in the movies. The ONLY thing WCKD knew about the kids from the maze was that the majority of them had an immunity to the Flare Virus. The revelation about Thomas couldn’t have been known years ago by simply testing his blood because the enzyme that’s present in their blood that creates the cure is only there because of their experiences in the Maze and Scorch. The extreme fear caused by their experiences releases the enzyme into their bloodstream. This is clearly stated in the second film and in this film when they’re testing Minho. It's why all those kids were being drained at the beginning of the second film, right after they escaped their mazes. All you had to do was listen and pay attention to know that.
And I’m speaking as somebody who saw this movie two weeks ago, and I’m not referencing the books because the cure is different in the books. The whole blood thing isn't a thing in the book universe.
vaporage Could you please spoil to me if Teresa does actually die in this movie? I read the books and really want to know if they went that direction.
Overlay Yes Teresa does die
Thank you so much for this comment, it's an important one. If there's something i hate is when people talk confidently about "plot holes" that really aren't, just goes to show they paid no attention to the movie they're talking about. And the excuse with adaptations is always "I didn't read the book". Well, maze runner after the first one never followed the books strictly so that for me isn't even an argument
Ok so they couldn't have figured it out in the first 2 films because the experiences in those films changed Thomas's blood to make it a cure for the virus. I understand and accept that and you're right in that part. I thought the same thing while watching the film.
But you have to agree that it's somewhat unrealistic that no one in Thomas's group realized that Brenda should not be simply cured like she was. Everyone knew that there was no cure but just a simple medicine to hold the virus at bay. Yet she's gone without trouble for months. Jorge even asks how she's doing and she answers she feels fine and Jorge didn't think that was weird?
Furthermore when Newt get sick no one including Thomas doesn't think that maybe they should use Thomas's blood to treat him real quick just like they did Brenda.
Next when Teresa hears about what Thomas's blood did for Brenda she just stays quiet. I mean she just found out something she's been looking for years. But she just stays quiet because Thomas's says be quiet once.
Everyone was just acting too dumb and it felt like it was only like that because the story had to be that way. It was also too cliche and easy to figure out how it was going to go from that point.
Mojtaba except there wasnt any doctors in that group. The female doctor that helped Brenda died. You dont just give a blood transfusion and you're done.
Im a 17 year old male, I have never cried so much about a movie.
Pilot Luke im a 17 yeer old male 2 seeing it in about 7 hours we shall see what happens(i will most likely cry) .
Pilot Luke Tell me if Newt and Teresa die like the book.
Overlay yez
I FULL ON SOBBED im still so sad
Pilot Luke same here, this was the first book and movie that made me cry
I would have gone with "But does it cure this franchise?" for the opening
I’d rather watch a 2 and a half hour long film packed with action and suspense than have it split into 2 films that you have to wait another year for that you just know they’ve done to get more money ( *cough cough* hunger games)
The music at the end of this video made me feel like this was an awards show trying to kick you guys off stage
The head shake Dan did after "a-MAZE-ing" was the best.
This movie got postponed because the main actor, Dylan O’Brien, almost died on set!
I’m pleasantly surprised by your review!
It’s 2.5 hours long?!
I want to know what this thing you should know about Thomas but don’t know.
KimOlson1993 it's not 2 and half hours long. Not including the end credits it's more like 2 hours 10 minutes if that.
I liked it just for the pun.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!
No, it’s not in the book. It’s explained in the movies. The ONLY thing WCKD knew about the kids from the maze was that the majority of them had an immunity to the Flare Virus.

Wes Ball didn't follow the book plot as closely as you might think. I believe he purposely took his own take to the storyline and it was much more rewarding as a viewer than the reading the book. To be quite honest, I did not even notice the length until I actually got out. Perhaps because I was very invested in the whole series because of the books. I agree that some things didn't make sense, however I think it was a good conclusion to the book series as a whole.
Nicole Llamas would you recommend the book to someone that's only seen the films?
AWESOME time in the cinema! Did not disappoint! BEST OF THE SERIES and fitting end!
There some YA titles still coming down the pipeline, still holding out hope for a more book centric Percy Jackson though
theokchannel Tbh i wanna see Percy Jackson as a Netflix series.
Joshua Joseph okay so my knee-jerk reaction to your comment is I don't see it in the first 5 books but I could totally see the Heroes of Olympus Saga as a Netflix series
Well, Percy Jackson’s rights were owned by Fox, which means they will soon be Disney’s, which might mean doing an adaptation for the Disney streaming service
Roger Canales 🤔
What does ya stand for? Dont kill me
"The Maze Runner...yes, more of that-" There's my pull quote
I only followed the trilogy because of Dylan O'Brien, he is a fantastic actor and can't wait to see him in more movies.
Just discovered your channel and I really like the Maze Runner. Just finished the books and I'm already to watch the third and final movie. I appreciated your honest review, it's so refreshing to see! Definitely subscribed!
You can’t blame the movie if it’s In the book
The thing that Thomas should have known even before the first film wasn’t in the book. The film took liberty with that.
As a book fan what Dan says is true, Maze Runner would have worked so much better as a TV series
Raymundo Arámburo
Agreed. I’m a fan of the books and think they would’ve work better as a TV Show.
I liked Scorch Trials, I think if they emphasize on the zombie background with some story twists I would like thus one as well.
This movie made me cry at the end...
(Didn't read the books before watching the movie.)
Not sure about the intro and outro music overlay being so loud, but great review regardless!
I know this will probably never happen, but I was hoping they would make a movie for The Kill Order. Out of the four Maze Runner novels I felt it was the most interesting and unique and the action would work really well as a movie. Oh well...
You say you can't cut that much out because the book readers are the only market left and if they do the book readers will revolt but the first two movies weren't that close to the books so, in my opinion, it'd be kind of weird to suddenly become very loyal to the books.
My favorite movie series in this genre
I hope this one has more Running
Ooh you may be upset when like 3 more John green movies come out in the next couple of years...
I think they were talking in regards to the YA dystopian genre being dead not the YA genre overall especially movies based on contemporary novels those are not going anywhere soon they are cheap and usually make their money back if not more.
Breanna then they should have said YA dystopian genre.
Sara Samaletdin I agree they should have made it a bit clearer as to what they were specifically referring to when talking about it.
Jacob Maher they are not dystopian stories
actually--and i read the books a while ago so take this with a grain of salt--i really didnt think these books made any sense when i read them. i was surprised when i heard they were getting an adaptation because i felt like the plot lines were all over the place and figured they wouldn't translate well. i enjoyed the movies but mostly because i didn't take it too seriously and my friends who hadn't read the books were so thrown by them lol
I have read the books and the film is completely different.
First one was ok second one was below average but if I’ve got nothing to do I might just go watch this one and see for myself
these are the films that i subscribe to moviepass for 😂😂
can we please get a scorch trials honest trailer next week!
@9:07 That was exactly my problem with this entire movie series! Having the cure come from the blood makes zero sense. What the hell was the entire point of the maze trial if it was all about the blood the entire time? And it's as simple as getting some contaminated blood from a random piece of gauze that's been sitting in Teresa's pocket for hours. That was probably the number one change from the book that ruined the entire movie series. In the book, it's all about the brain patterns to create the blueprint. All of the immunes have the flare in them but their minds don't show the effects of it at all and that's why they are studying their brains and putting them through the trials. In the movie, the blood of an immune, any immune, will slow down the disease, so theoretically, the immunes could just give blood as much as they safely can, and the serum can be provided to everyone just as medication to stop the symptoms, not as a cure. It's not the best solution, but it's the most obvious one that would cause the least amount of problems. However, in the book, the stakes are much higher than just giving blood. SPOILER ALERT................................... In the book, they chose Thomas as the final candidate. His brain has shown the strongest results throughout the trials and WICKED needs to open up his skull and poke around his brain, but he won't come back from it. The reason they put all the immunes through the trials was to see who was the strongest, so they would only have to take the brain of one person, rather than cutting up everyone to see what they find. It makes the question of sacrifice much stronger. Thomas would have to sacrifice his own life to save everyone, not just sacrificing some blood.
I liked the first one but hated the second one
Jack Hachtman second one was trash
Jack Hachtman It was weaker than the first but if you watch it again it grows on you
Same tho overall the third one is the best out of the franchise
Obviously I haven't seen the movie yet, but as somebody who loved the book series in middle school, I don't think this movie attempted to be a faithful adaptation of the source material like you keep saying--at least based on what I've heard. The Death Cure is by far the least eventful of the books, and the key reveal that contextualizes the entire series (aka the reasoning behind the Maze trials, etc.) is randomly thrown in on the very last page. There's absolutely no buildup to it and the main focus of the book is on different things entirely. Based on how far off-book they went in The Scorch Trials, and based on the trailers and even just this review, I get the feeling that the book is extremely different.
The Darkest Minds is another YA dystopian book series that is getting a movie adaptation this year. We'll see how that movie does, I guess. Anyway, I liked the first two movies and even if I didn't it stars Dylan O'Brien and I'll see anything that has him in it.
Chris Stites OMFG! Darkest Minds movie?!?!? 😲😱 please be a good one... 🤞🏼
I’m sorry but I looovvveedddd these movies! I was hooked from the first one, reeled in from the second one and caught by the last one. I didn’t see many plot holes at all. This series was done great, I would like them to dive into the prequels but I don’t think it’ll happen.
What is with the weird music? Really distracting, but you guys have actual interesting insights into the films you review and give film criticism a good name.
*no spoilers* but I cried so much at the end it’s been a week and I’m still sad that it’s over
I feel like they were repeating the same action scene writing. They had the "oh no we didn't see this coming" and then "Let's be badass" "oh no were trapped" and then they got saved by some very lucky well timed rescue. Every action scene was the same and I feel weird for saying it but there was too many action scenes only because they had no difference
These movies are a guilty pleasure for me, anyone else feel like this? :P
can you do an Honest Trailer for The Scorch Trials
The Hunger games and the Hunger games catching fire are the longer films in the series, and yet they have far better pacing than the final two(Mockingjay part 1 and part 2) where as for Maze runner, the movies have becomes progressively longer and feel longer! Proof that bigger isn’t always better, and the shorter films can feel longer than the longer ones within the same franchise! Watch out for It chapter two, because it’s set to run 169 minutes which is 34 minutes longer than it!
why is the background music so loud?
You obviously haven't read the books because this movie was nothing like the book
He's the Tom Bombadil of this movie.
They weren’t amazing but I enjoyed the first two so looking forward to the 3rd. Glad they finished off the trilogy and made as well of a movie (at least based on their review) as possible instead of just making a rushed half ass movie.
I stayed in my seat. I absolutely LOVED this movie!!
Know what's weird, I think this director would probably do a better job with the flashpoint movie that the directors that might do it.
my mind is set... I'm not paying for this shit. Thanks ScreenJunkies ^^
What’s with the random distracting music overlapping so much of the video at the end? Not a good choice.
Chaos walking is coming out in 2019 which is based on a YA book series
Im very excited for that and the cast of Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley and the premise sounds amazing and heard the book is really good.
The Legendary Movie Critic I’m half way through the second book now and it’s really good!
The Last Hunger Games movies doesn't do so well and everybody thinks the genre is dead?
Just make a good YA movie and people will go see it. Pretty simple really.
Exactly and adapt movies of books that deserve a movie adaptation . Like what they are doing this year and in 2019. I think this year will revive the YA genre.
Just so you know, the book is completely different than the film so the book reader revolt arguament is irrelevant
Are we getting a scorch trials honest trailer next week pls
I saw and read scorch trials and they are pretty different that they feel like different stories, so I wonder if the death cure is gonna be the same
I personally love the books, and have hated the last two movies... They changed easy plot things in the first two books, that make it harder for the last movie to be executed. Maybe that's where some of the problems are coming from
I liked The Maze Runner movie as it did keep things true from the book and had most of the stuff, but the second one just rewrote the entire story and change almost everything
I liked the first one, and I understood the removal of the mental link between Thomas and Teresa, but then they completely skewed off course in scotch trials and then made the death view overly long to try and stuff things in that they removed, but by that point it wasn’t the same story they started in the first film.
This is the new divergent series
I don't like YA movies. I didn't read the books. I loved this movie. Great action and visuals. Dillon should do more action movies in the future.
Dan Murrell struggles with math since it’s not 2 and a half hours, it’s 2 hours and 22 minutes so it’s really only 2 hours and 15 minutes with the credits. That’s not an extra 30 minutes.
DanV900 I checked my watch from the opening scene to the end credits opening crawl and had it pegged around 2 hours 11 minutes give or take a minute. Don't know why the hell he was saying 2 and a half hours because it most certainly wasn't.
chris r Many are making the 2 and a half hour claim for recent movies where they’re counting the credits which is just ridiculous. It’s just insane to me to say it went 30 minutes too long when it wasn’t close to 2 and a half hours.
The first 2 Hunger Games movie adaptations were brilliantly done. There were some changes on both movies from the books, but they work on film. I think the first 2 HG movies sho how to adapt a book to a movie.
eh second one yes first one idk
Yeah, but when you’re going to make it a series, you have to look at the later books and figure out how to make those work before you start, otherwise you get a shitty ending to a good start. I feel like with series that rely on overarching narratives, the later movies being bad retroactively makes the first ones worse
Alberto Ramirez really? The hunger games shows how to adapt a book to a movie? What about LOTR?
Hey screen junkies! Can you do an honest trailer for “Out Of Time”? Thanks! 👋🏼
Had a great time and ended up loving this, very good ending to the Maze Runner Trilogy the action was great and I love all the actors.
It was ok, kind of reminded me of the Hunger Games.
I read the books and I want to see this movie just in the hopes that they made the ending a little less disappointing.
its so good highly recommend
Yeah I’m skipping this one. I’ll catch it on tv
I'll probably only watch this when it comes out on TV, but this movie being long is a good thing :) I read the book and it does not work, because everything is moving so fast, so with the movie being longer, hopefully that means that things will be slower. Also the movie series has gone so differently from the books, so there's no way this could be following the book and hopefully this makes it better :)
Damnit I was in the middle of watching Batman V Superman but then you guys posted something. Come to think it I just might have dodged a bullet
Miles S. who hurt you
Zack Snyder, I think :D
this was so unnecessary LOL (I dont like BvS either but cmon. Dont be mean)
Can we not randomly add music to these videos. It was a bit distracting from listening to what Dan and Roth were saying. Please and Thank you.
That second one was so shitty I am not even a little bit excited for this.
Had nothing at all to do with the book, like nothing. At all. I don't even see the point of the damn thing!
I was pissed, can you tell?
yeah, i remember hating the second and being sooooo confused, because there weren't just some changes, it was like a complete different story. so now i'm confused by this review. will the 3rd one be oriented on the book? i can't imagine! and it's too long ago to even remember the story of the 3rd book for me.
I'm a huge fan of Percy Jackson and the movies sucked to the point where my expectations for any book to movie adaptation were extremely lowered and it wasn't as horrible as Percy Jackson so it was a win for me
yey^^
Right? The whole movie I was like WTF is this? WTF are you doing? Why the fuck did they just run for the entirety of a movie with no plot what so ever!!!
I'm gonna sit this one out, it'll come out on streaming sites eventually
I agree it was NOTHING like the book (which I don’t know how James Dashner let the screenwriters get away with) but I still like the movies even though they are completely opposite from the books. The actors are great and the directing is as well
The Scorch Trials strayed far too much from the book.
Please do a review of Proud Mary
The Maze Runner is one of those YA novels that should have stayed a novel. It's just too big to be translated well to film. It's an excellent story, super suspenseful and constant action, but when that's put on screen it comes off like it's trying too hard. Also they changed the story significantly to make it fit the big screen, which is disappointing for someone who has read the series. It honestly didn't need a film interpretation. James Dashner is a really excellent author, and this series is super unique in the dystopian YA world. I hope the movies don't keep people from reading it.
This movie is nothing like the book.
yess finally lets hope they end it well
You've nit picked this to death, great movie, great trilogy
Really funny you saying that Dan, cue I also felt that watching the 2nd of these movies. It's interesting and fun, but.. too long, really x'/
Anyone else find the backing music in the first minute or two extremely frustrating?
Just because a movie is longer than it should be doesn't mean it can't be good or great. I think Blade Runner 2049 could be cut down around 20 minutes but I still consider that movie the best of 2017.
The thing for me is that the other two movies have been barely like the books and I didn't like that. However I absolutely hated the third book (especially the dumbass ending) so if it fixed my problems with the book, I might actually end up liking the movie. Probably will just rent it or wait for it to come out on Netflix
I hope it follows the book better than the scorch trials, that one went way off the book
love the series book n movies
sweet hat
Actually I found that the book was actually very similar to what you are describing, towards the book it really lost me and felt anti climatic
Music at the start and end is to loud, to long and really doesn't fit at all ...
THIS MOVIE LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Please stop the background music, it added nothing and took a lot away.
Did anyone honestly have high expectations for this film?
The movie was too far from the book the plot was entirely different.
I thought that this installment of the Maze Runner was going direct to blu-ray? Maybe that was Divergent? Obviously I am not a fan of YA novels/movies of dystopias.
Mariko True Divergent is the one that went straight to dvd.
Does Dan own more than 3 shirts?? Has anyone counted how many times he’s worn that Jurassic Park tee shirt? Dude, are you a Medium? Next time I’m at Target I’ll get you something new Love u guys!!
I’ve read the whole series, which did not make a whole lot of sense. The movies somehow make even less sense.
2.5 hours? It says 1 hour 54 minutes.
Rohan Sharma yea that’s 2 hours and 24 minutes.....
GET YOUR T-SHIRTS HERE!
I survived the YA genre.
I fucking loved the movie
It’s amazing and sad
Also no, the actions and behaviors didn't make sense in the book either.
Samedi 18 Septembre en 2021
I loved it
I am a BIG ass Maze Runner Fan, I have read the books, (they're great!) and I have watched both the movies, I personally thought the 1st One was Amazing, and portrayed amazingly, the 2nd one sucked so so much. They could've cut out like, 1 hour of the movie, and it would have been great, 2nd one was boring, I honestly CANNOT wait for this movie.
Rayhan Shafi it was amazing imo.Much better than 2nd one and its better than 1st movie :D
lol @ 2 minutes of wrap-it-up music
