Because I’ve
made a conscious choice to read the books from this point on, I’ve decided to
change the order. The Maze Runner was a series of 3 books (I’m excluding the
prequel books since they weren’t adapted) written by James Dashner and released
between 2009 and 2011, and it’s Fox throwing their hand into the YA ring with
the adaption of this franchise.
And it’s off
to a mixed start, but with a silver lining of making over $300m on a $35m
budget. Critically though, it holds a 65% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which just
barely qualifies as fresh, with an average score of a meagre 5.9/10, it holds a
similar audience rating of 68%, though with a higher 3.7/5 average. These would
be the highest scores this franchise gets so let’s take a look.
