Leave your thoughts about Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials.
| Consequence of SoundDominick MayerScorch at least feels more like a feature-length film than The Maze Runner, which played like a sizzle reel for another film that would eventually follow it. It doesn't shed all the problems of that prior installment, but it's a start. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongThis story was better off back in the maze. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekWon't win any awards for originality, but it carries the familiar adventure along efficiently, generating sufficient excitement to keep one from dreading the next chapter. |
| AV ClubTasha RobinsonIt comes across as unintentionally comic, because Scorch Trials is basically "Fleeing In Terror: The Movie." After more than two straight hours of running and screaming, screaming and running, no wonder Thomas is tired. Even marathoners gotta rest sometime. |

| Irish TimesTara BradyStill, there's plenty of fun to be had from the fleet-footed zombies and random nods to Mad Max. |
| NewsdayRafer GuzmanThe teen dystopian franchise continues to play rough, and now even rougher, with satisfying results. |
| Salt Lake City WeeklyScott RenshawGenre fare of this kind can prove satisfying if made by people who understand that there's really no excuse for screwing up a movie with abandoned cityscapes, secret armed rebellions and screeching zombie-things. |
| IGN MoviesMax NicholsonThe world is bigger, the stakes are higher and there's a lot more to sink your teeth into. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesSetting its sights firmly on taking the best YA film series crown once 'The Hunger Games' ends, "The Scorch Trials" is another exciting entry in a thrilling saga. |
