Critics Consensus

Maze Runner: The Death Cure may offer closure to fans of the franchise, but for anyone who hasn't already been hooked, this bloated final installment is best left unseen.

Chicago Reader

Director Wes Ball fails to generate any emotional resonance with this premise, though some of the action sequences are exciting.

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.

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.

Deep Focus Review

Both formally and narratively, The Death Cure feels like a patchwork, Frankensteined together from better material.

Rated: 2/4

A bombastic blast that sends the series off on a high note.

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

Better than the second one but not as good as the first one but it’s a satisfying conclusion to the maze runner trilogy

É legal e vale a pena assistir pra terminar a trilogia,teve um encerramento mediano,mas não chega perto dos filmes anteriores,a morte de um dos personagens principais foi totalmente desnecessária,a volta de um outro personagem odioso também,sobre a Teresa, ninguém se importa com ela,mas podia pelo menos passar a receita da cura antes de ir pra 7 palmos,no final foi tudo em vão. A burrice de alguns personagens me deixou meio irritada, principalmente por parte dos adultos no filme, sério que é coerente milhares de pessoas matarem umas as outras simplesmente por "vingança" ,quando tem a chance de uma vacina com a cura sendo criada lá?!?!, Cenas que não tem a menor lógica,como eles pulando de um prédio de sei lá quantos andares e caírem ilesos num espelho d'água?!?!. Será que de além de terem sangue imune ao vírus, ainda são mutantes pra sobreviver a uma queda daquelas. E o Thomas arriscando tudo pra ir atrás do amigo

This movie was good up until (spoiler alert) they kill off Newt. Why didn't they save him they had the cure right there, he is so awesome we loved him. Next time save the best friend.

ABSOULUTELY AMAZING. It is certantly worth a watch it has Thomas Broodie-Sangster and Dylan Obrien doing an amazing job at portraying the feelings. This movie WILL have you on the edge of your seat with thriling jumpscares and jawbreaking plot twists. Just made me think that this movie is the best movie i've watched for days i think its PREATTY good. DEFINETLY A 10/10 OR A 5/5

It's safe to say that Maze Runner: The Death Cure is what you can expect out of a trilogy that runs on hopes, dreams, and efforts of those who still passionate about the series. It's perfect encapsulates a movie where everyone(Movie staff and Actors) gathers for one last time and wrap things up for a series, well it maybe not a "bright star in the abyss" but it was definitely a last push of a boulder to the top, and then the enjoyment of seeing it tumbling down. Good job for everyone who's involved in the making of these movie, and atleast everyone safely get out of this situation earning a lesson or two.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
