No Spoilers!
Recently the one problem that seems to keep repeating in every novel-turned-movie is that, quite simply, finer details from the book are not getting put into the movie.
This was seen several times in the latest teen dystopian teen thriller, The Maze Runner.
Now I’m not saying that the movie wasn’t good. It was good. The effects in the maze were a-maze-ing (see what I did there!), the acting was alright and the idea of the storyline was overall pretty good.
But some details that were in the book were missed, even though they would make for a much better movie.
And I can’t help feeling that some parts of the movie dragged out a little bit much, and other parts went so quickly that I wasn’t sure what had just happened.
The movie also left off very open to the next movie in the series. It’s the kind of movie that you would want to re-watch just before going to see the next one. I truly hope that with the next movie, they open it in a way that if you didn’t watch the first one, you would be able to pick up what’s going on reasonably quickly.
Let’s hope we see a slightly better attempt with the next movie!
