The praise of "Maze Runner" in the past is more because of a fascination. The sci-fi like silk and cocoon creates an excellent sense of suspense. The Zombie War, which has nothing to do with the word maze, lacks suspense and logic, and has a dark and abrupt style, making the movie far more absurd than before.


As a sequel that was supposed to be a link between the previous and the next, "Maze Runner 2" was a failure. It failed to inherit the pertinent suspense shape of the first part, and the chaotic relationship between the characters made people completely lose interest in the lower part. The criticism of the movie is that It completely abandons the inner maze, which is the core of "Maze Runner", and instead brings a running account of a blunt and uninteresting zombie escape. The visual sense of "Resident Evil" and "The Hunger Games" makes the movie completely lost. The style of the movie, imitating others, not only the details are difficult to convince, but the abrupt reversal of the heroine in the general direction is even more unbearable, and the logical structure of the plot is incoherent, which is consistent with the previous work. A stark contrast to bad decisions.


The collapse of the plot is only one aspect. The film's photography style is also very different from the bright and sharp approach of the previous film. It is hard to believe that this is the work of the same director. The darkened style shows that the human world is on the verge of extinction. Despair is not a bad idea, but the dark manifestation of the movie does not absolutely fit the emotions of the hero and heroine. , Although "Maze Runner 2" has created a larger world view in terms of content, it is essentially just a popcorn film to cater to the public's taste, and this catering, whether in the plot or in photography, is just self-defeating , shoot yourself in the foot.


The "Maze Runner 2", which has no labyrinth zombies, is the inner exhaustion of the movie's plot, and it is also a mess made up by the director and screenwriter Rou with various elements. The mediocrity of the dog's tail continues the mink.
