The Maze Runner By: James Dashner
Book vs. Movie
On September 18th the movie to the bestselling book The Maze Runner ran into theaters, but does this suspenseful thriller compare to the book.
The book was an instant hit with it's mysterious background and suspenseful chapters. On the other hand it was repetitive and predictable, all a matter of opinion. The movie on the other hand was set off by it's intensive trailer and small clips. Don't get me wrong it was a great movie just too intense to match the book. they also set up a perfect lead to make another movie but satisfying enough not to. Like the I Am Number Four movie, it ends on a; we won but we've got more to come.
There casting was terrific they had all the characteristics described by Dashner.
- Thomas, played by Dylan O'Brian
- Theresa, played by Kaya Scodelario
- Chuck, played by Blake Cooper
- Minho, played by Ki Hong Lee
- Alby, played by Aml Ameen
- Newt, played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Over- all a great cast!
I liked the movie and I thought it had a pretty interesting plot. Although I didn't really like the ending, which kind of reminded me of the movie, Divergent's ending, I really want to read the book now.
