Kaya Scoledario did a great job with the complex character Theresa. I enjoyed his performance and his character.
THE MAZE RUNNER 3 CHARACTERS SERIES
There’s also many other events from the book put into the film and the tone of the series is kept, so it isn’t completely diverging from its base.ĭylan O’Brien did a terrific job as Thomas. Another example is one certain characters’ death that seemed like a cop-out in the books was far more emotional and justified in the film. At the time the book was written it wasn’t, but now it has become so. This was a refreshing change because having the rebels actually just be as evil as the villains is a trope used too many times. However, the film didn’t completely diverge from the books and some of the changes actually helped the story.įor example, in the novel, the rebel leader Vince actually turned villain in the end, but in the movie, he doesn’t.

From the opening scene, it was starkly different from Thomas waking up being captured by WCKD like in the novel. The Scorch Trials was so different than the book that I knew I had to go to the theater for the Death Cure with an open mind or I wouldn’t enjoy it at all. During the film, he has to learn to think of the happiness he had with those people instead of all of the regret he has surrounding them. She refuses to leave him behind.Īcross the movies, Thomas has lost so many people he’s loved and those deaths weigh heavily on him. Brenda also shows this when no matter what she never gives up on Thomas. He loves his friends unconditionally and there’s no limit to what he would do for them. Thomas will stop at nothing to find Minho no matter what it takes and while another one of his friends is turning into a crank he never gives up on him/her (No spoilers). Positive Content: The main themes of the film are never giving up on your friends and remembering those we’ve lost without regret. Other Negative Content: As expected out of villains, they can be heartless and they disrespect the sanctity of life. There is also one usage of the bird.ĭrug/Alcohol Reference: A character drinks brandy to the point of feeling slightly buzzed. There may have been an f-bomb but it was hard to hear so I could be wrong. Language/Crude Humor: There was some sparse usages of swear words including sh*t x5, b*****d x1, h*** x4, d**k x1, godd**n x1, b***h x1, and pissed x1. One character gets a severe gunshot wound to the stomach which is shown up close and another one is stabbed in the chest. A character who fans will know as “No-Nose” is included in this film and as his nickname suggests he has no nose and also oozing veins going up the side of his face which can be a little unsettling.Ĭharacters are shot with guns and turrets, characters are also blown up and burned to death. A character is ripped apart by Kranks but this is only implied in a short chaotic shot.

There are a few jumpscares of cranks being pressed up against the window of a car. Cranks (zombie-like people infected by a disease called the Flare) are still included but are much less of a focal point. Violence/Scary Images: The content is far less disturbing than in the Scorch Trials. Starring: Dylan O’Brien, Ki Hong Lee, Kaya Scolederio, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Will Poulter, Rosa Salazar, Giancarlo EspositoĪfter a long delay due to Dylan O’Brien’s injury, the final film of the Maze Runner trilogy is finally here! What with the massive plot divergences from the original novel in the Scorch Trials ( Our Review Here! Also check out our review of the first film.), as a Maze Runner fan since high school I was a bit wary of changes made in t he Death Cure, but I’m happy to say that I actually welcomed many of them.
