Wes Ball, makes this film perhaps the best of franchise. It has more action than it's prior entries. It does have a weird screenplay, which consists of cliches and repetitive dialogue. The cast isn't much better, but they give their all. The screenplay did also leave me with a few questions after it ended. Surprise Surprise!
Leading members: Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario and Thomas Sangster do a number on the franchise with action packed sequences. Also, they give some of the better performances unlike in the other two films.
John Paesano enters the maze, booming with sound. He creates a sci-fi esq score fitting the film and the tone of it. His score hits on par with the film, even if the screenplay is a mess.
The action and the heart of this film is certainly noticeable. I for one, had major doubts about seeing this film. But, I knew once the film picked up, I'd enjoy it. It is indeed the franchises best film.
Though, it's not in anyway achieved the notoriety and praise as "Harry Potter" or "The Hunger Games", this series, both film and the books has created a phenomenon among teens, and sure will entertain anyone who is a fan of Science Fiction films.
