From the trailer, it looked to be a cheap rip-off of the Hunger Games.

RT says 63%, so - maybe?

It's ok not awesome,but not terrible

The Maze Runner book series is better. I think the books are better than the Hunger Game Series ... but the first two Hunger Games movies are better than the Maze Runner movie

I liked it. Had zero expectations going in and thought it was a decent flick.

No. Caught it on a flight. Skip it.

Same thing happened to me with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - I slept through most of it, thank G-d.

Maze Runner looks terrible, but the acting gets a little bit of praise from critics.

The plot had potential. It would have made a good tv show. However, the execution was a failure.

What are you talking about the plot had potential? It's a book. The plot is laid out for them

That was all a nightmare you had during your flight. No such movie was ever made.

Yep, and it's pretty good. The problem was that the execution into a movie was a failure.

Thought it was good. Only comparison to the Hunger Games were they were teens.

It's like Lord of the Flies and The Cube

I saw it about a week ago.

It was alright. Just enough to keep me paying attention.

The story is simple and formulaic and characters just get thrown into the mix and just kinda exist there without adding or detracting fr the story. For example, the female character is just "there".

If you are watching it for free, go ahead.

Let's just say, it isn't Divergent level bad.

Just watched that and didn't think it was that bad for that type of movie. The bar was already set low though.

That movie was terrible.

Acting was bad, writing was bad, set was bad, props were bad, everything was bad.

All around horrible movie.

Maze Runner is worlds better than Crystal Skulls. Not even in the same discussion

The lead girl just didn't sell me at all though. At the end when she becomes a "bad arse" I just couldn't buy it.
