Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Director Wes Ball fails to generate any emotional resonance with this premise, though some of the action sequences are exciting. Mar 10, 2020 Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint The intrigue of the first part, the fascinating design of the maze and the interplay between the characters trapped in the Glade have been eroded over the subsequent parts to end in a most unsatisfactory way. Jul 29, 2019 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review It's efficiently done and there moments in it that are arresting... [but] have we now done with this particular cycle of films? Because I think we all have. Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Both formally and narratively, The Death Cure feels like a patchwork, Frankensteined together from better material. Rated: 2/4 Mar 16, 2022 Full Review Drew Dietsch FANDOM A bombastic blast that sends the series off on a high note. Dec 29, 2021 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Features lots of ominous music, attractive stars in motion, dusty dystopian landscapes and something gets blown up or shot at every 10 minutes or so. What's missing is the emotional content that might make you care about it. Rated: 1/5 Feb 28, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Geo3 F I don't understand why this film got a rotten review maybe its because it doesn't follow the book to the core or because people never read the book itself so were kind of lost about the story. Whichever I think this film is a great end to a good movie trilogy even if it doesn't follow the books plot. It has action and has sad moments that would make a book reader as myself touch by it. It's not aiming to be greatest cinematic film out there but its trying to bring to life the Maze Runner book series and most importantly its characters. In so doing I think they did a great job, the only hope I have is that they make the book prequels films themselves. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Neeraj K irritated by seeing the movie Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review ProfessionalCat Overall, this movie doesn’t feel like a Maze Runner sequel. This movie also doesn’t deliver the best closure to the Maze Runner movie franchise. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Audience Member Meh, sigue estando entretenida y esas cosas. Estoy feliz del final de Teresa, se lo merecía por traidora. A veces thomas solo piensa con la vrga Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Jaimie M A great send off to a troubled trilogy, that surpasses the first and honestly makes the drag of a second movie worth it in the end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Julian Rex M The incomprehensibly plotted, poorly thought through Maze Runner: The Death Cure manages to rip off nearly every movie while simultaneously blanketing its interesting cinematography and production design in weak writing and a paper-thin narrative. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
