It’s not that she did a poor job, she was actually pretty good, but something about the character felt off with her in the role. The only casting I didn’t care for was Kaya Scodelario as Teresa. Part beast, part machine, and every bit hide-behind-your-hands-while-they-are-near. The Grievers weren’t quite what I imagined but just as horrifying as they made me feel while reading the book. Not to mention the pan out at the end, spectacular. ![]() The huge, towering walls with the bright green space in the center was dead on. You truly got the sense of being trapped in the maze with them. Although Chuck was a little younger than I pictured. Ki Hong Lee, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, and Blake Cooper were also fantastic as Minho, Newt, and Chuck respectively. Gally is a royal jackass with underlying fears and doubts and I couldn’t look away whenever Poulter was on the screen. Will Poulter, who I have loved since he performed in The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader, was an absolute standout. His curiosity, running, and logic were dead on for how I pictured Thomas. I really felt like he was connecting with that character and becoming him. Dylan O’Brien was a great pick for Thomas. Okay, so let me first tell you what I did love about it. I, however, was somewhat disappointed with all the little bits that were altered to make way for a more Hollywood-esque version of a completely brilliant and c omplex book. I was so excited that this might actually be a great movie adaptation because Dashner himself loved it. As compared to the book, they were miles apart. It’s hard to determine whether or not I liked this movie. The great casting? All the little things they changed? The overall creepy feel of the movie? The extreme scary factor of the Grievers? ![]()
