The previews for this movie interested me and after seeing that it was from= another book series, I decided to read all of them, particularly the first= one. It was gripping and kept me hooked. So, when the film finally came ou= t last month, I was expecting this film to live up to my expectations and t= o my surprise, it turned out to be an intense and well-acted film. It isn't= one of the best book-to-film adaptations like Harry Potter, The Lord of th= e Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Hunger Games, but considering th= at it avoided the tired trend of young-adult romance movies, this is one of= the better films of the year. The story, for the most part, is interesting and kept the spirit and tone o= f the book intact while keeping some of the minimal changes which were acce= ptable. It also has some smart dialog and explains the details of how the p= eople are trapped in a maze and their attempts to find a way out very well.= The pacing is mostly decent and gives its time to develop not only the mai= n protagonist, but the other characters as well. The music score is pretty = good and it fitted the tone of the film perfectly; the direction from Wes B= all (who worked on a CGI animated short named Ruin that inspired the idea o= f the film) is nice. Also, the CGI visual effects on the Maze and the scene= ry are beyond fantastic it gives the film a big scale to it despite it's lo= wer budget, but the best part would have to go to the acting. It had some v= ery strong performances and portrayed the characters perfectly. Dylan O'Brien did a perfect job as Thomas, who develops from a confused tee= nager with no memory of who he is to a brave leader. The other characters a= re also good. Alby, the leader of the group of people called the Gladers in= the Glade, Newt, the second in command and friend to Thomas, Gally, the ar= ch-nemesis of Thomas, and Teresa all support the film with flawless effort.= Mostly Teresa who doesn't come across as a love interest, but instead shar= ing a connection to Thomas. Then, there's Patricia Clarkson as a scientist = who explains how the Gladers were brought to the Maze in the first place be= cause of an experiment she and other scientists tested. Before I end this review, there are two problems that I do have with this f= ilm. Aside from the nice direction from Wes Ball, the camera angles on the actio= n scenes felt kind of shaky much like the ones from The Hunger Games. Also,= the flashbacks in Thomas's mind throughout the film felt poorly placed and= could've been handled better. That's all I have to say. Overall, The Maze Runner isn't one of the best young-adult adaptations, but= with an engaging story, intense action sequences, and a solid cast of acto= rs, it succeeds as the next big franchise and due to it's sequel hook, I wi= ll anticipate for the sequel, The Scorch Trials, in 2015. 19 October 2014. The Maze Runner combines The Hunger Games (2012), Cube (19= 97), with Lord of the Flies (1990) into a rather fascinating mystery thrill= er for boys. For most of the movie, the consistency of theme and plot holds= up well. The tension, the ever presence ominous sounds of the maze offers = up a dread that is pervasively creepy. The stereotypical characters aren't = usually overplayed and the over the top performances or plot points are mos= tly held back using instead more empathetic and humanistic portrayals. The ending seems like a cop out for a hoped for sequel unfortunately. And t= here a few moments that really do fall back into the stereotypical plot des= ign. The humor however makes their appearances with to great effect though.= This is more enjoyable movie than expected. It just misses out though bein= g really innovative and can't quite break out of the mold of most of the ot= her sci fi thrillers. the maze runner 2014 movie download Download https://tinurli.com/2wHoOg The plain argument is that the side-by-side scores are real-life engaging a= nd useful, and present an added dimension to critical reception that "pro c= ritics" alone don't. The two typical scenarios are movies with great differ= ence between critics and public, and those where the opinions of the two ar= e similar, and from one end of the percentage scale to the other. Since the= guideline seems to approve of Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, then it make= s sense to trust their brand fully and accept their full product: side-by-s= ide critic and consumer ratings. --Tsavage (talk) 02:52, 23 November 2014 (= UTC)Reply[reply] First, my point was that you cannot verify that any of those people actuall= y saw the movie, or that the majority did or did not. THey could be Chris N= olan fans, or Anne Hathaway fans, etc. This is a universal issue with onlin= e polls. True, my one score did not affect the overall rating (because ther= e were already so many). Since you cannot verify the authenticity of the ra= ting itself, it makes it unreliable. Just because someone else wants to rep= ort unreliable information does not mean that we should. I agree, you canno= t prove that someone coming out of the theater actually watched the movie, = but since they engage them in a dialogue when they poll, I'll just assume t= hat they weed out any viewers who clearly didn't pay attention. Either way,= it's a more accurate representation of audience opinion. There is no need = to use RT's user ratings, when a more accurate and reliable rating from Cin= emaScore is available. It adds nothing beyond, "this is what people at RT v= oted". It's not a real rating. It isn't measured by any sort of real qualit= ative data. As for my voting, IPs are variable, but they don't change for a= particular location (unless you specifically set up a dynamic address). IP= addresses are assigned to specific devices (e.g., modems). Most homes do n= ot set up dynamic IPs, they set up static ones. Businesses will set up dyna= mic IPs to reduce the workload. That said, if I log out of Wikipedia and ed= it, they can still tell it came from the same computer that edits under the= screen name "Bignole" by cross referencing the IP address tagged with that= name and the one editing. That's why anon editors are defaulted to their I= P address and you can track them on here. This is how we track sock account= s on Wikipedia, but running tracers. Regardless, because we're not here to = discuss IP addresses, I was logged into RT when I made my votes, and I refr= eshed the screen to see if the overall numbers changed (which they did). Ju= st FYI. I've said my peace, and it appears pretty clear that there is no co= nsensus to use ratings like RT or MC. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 07:41, 3 Decem= ber 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply] eebf2c3492
