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

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. Go to Full 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. Go to Full Review

...the need to conclude Thomas and Teresa's story impacts the overall strength of the script, tilting some scenes toward a sense of realism that contrasts with the fantastical logic that defined the saga from its inception. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

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

Caleb S. @review-person-friend77 Nov 29 Better than Scorch Trials, not as good as Maze Runner, but overall this whole trilogy shouldn’t have been made into movies. The books can’t be that good because the overarching plot of the whole trilogy isn’t that good. In any case, this trilogy should be renamed, “Go! Let’s go! We gotta go! Come on! Let’s go!” I’m pretty sure they say that more than they say anything else. In any case, you wont catch me watching this trilogy again.

Heureusement que la scène de fin suggère que Thomas souhaite faire quelque chose pour sauver d’autres gens que ceux se trouvant dans leur « paradis ». Peut-être que je lirai les livres pour redécouvrir l'univers de manière différente, car je suis sûre qu'ils apportent des explications et des réponses à mes questions. ​ See more Sticky B Nov 16 Newt. Newt. Newt. Newt. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Nov 13 Maze Runner: The Death Cure serves as a strong conclusion to the trilogy, and Dylan O’Brien continues to shine as the central figure, bringing depth and intensity to his role as Thomas. His performance keeps the audience invested, and the supporting cast complements him well, creating a dynamic that makes the story feel alive and engaging throughout the film. The action sequences and world-building remain compelling, capturing the high-stakes, post-apocalyptic tension that the series has consistently delivered. The director successfully balances thrilling set pieces with character-driven moments, allowing the audience to remain emotionally connected while still enjoying the adrenaline-fueled narrative. The screenplay maintains the franchise’s continuity and provides enough clarity to resolve lingering plotlines without feeling rushed. It supports the performances effectively and preserves the established tone, combining suspense, action, and the occasional quiet emotional beat that underscores the stakes. Where the franchise seems to have faltered, however, is in its marketing. Despite the solid filmmaking and capable performances, the series never fully reached its potential in the mainstream consciousness. A stronger promotional effort could have elevated the films into a larger cultural phenomenon, but instead, the trilogy quietly faded from widespread attention. Overall, The Death Cure is a satisfying and well-executed conclusion to the Maze Runner series. Fans of the franchise will appreciate the consistent performances, engaging action, and cohesive storytelling. While it may not have achieved blockbuster status, it remains a highly watchable and rewarding film, and the trilogy as a whole is worth revisiting for those who enjoy dystopian adventure.

Esta triologia que marcou os jovens teens. Neste filme que fecha a triologia. Teremos um querido que é mordido, quem será? e o término da saga. Temos Thomaz liderando oque sobrou da equipe para salva os que foram capturados e buscar a cura. Já que o seu sangue é a cura. Mas quando descobre, não é o suficiente para salvar seu amigo. O filme busca o resgate do pessoal e a invasão ao laboratório e o fim dos grandes arquitetos de toda a trama JAson e Ava. E quem mais ira entregar a sua vida para salvar da equipe? bem que daria para ela ser salva. MAs o filme resolver não poupa-la por causa da traição. E temos a salvação. Vale apena assistir? sim, bom efeitos e CGI. Pena não ter aquele final feliz pleno, pois a perda destes 2 personagens é o que da o clima da drama para este 3º filme. Nota: 8 See more A.
