Young Adult Month - Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

In the not too distant future, after a disaster takes place
An angry guy with Rage Issues, among the last of the human race
He was just a media nerd, he ranted a lot, it was quite absurd
But he was special for some reason, so bad men decided it was Rage Issues season

He’ll star in 3 movies, 4 if we squeeze him dry
He’ll go and join a rebel force, as he’ll slowly lose his mind
Now keep in mind, he’s just a guy, no different from you or me
So, he’ll have to learn how to survive, with the help of YA Movies

Franchise Roll call:
The Hunger Games
The Maze Runner
Diiiiiiiivergent

If you’re wondering how he posts his thoughts, and who he’s posting for
Repeat to yourself, it’s just a theme, and stop thinking any more

It’s Young Adult Month!



OK, here’s where all bets are off, welcome to Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials. The funny thing is there’s not a lot of change when it comes to production, Wes Ball is still directing and the writer was… one of the writers for the first one (T S Nowlin, who may or not have been involved with Fant4stic, but his track record isn't great regardless) There was definite room for improvement, especially when it came to the writing but they were off to a decent start


And this film was given a larger budget to work with, $61m which means it can be a bit more ambitious. The film was successful, making $312m, but the critical reception, whilst poor to start with gets worse with each instalment, this one manages a disappointing 46% with an average 5.4/10, and a 54% audience score averaging 3.4/5
