And the rest of the boys have the feeling of soldiers-in-arms who bonded over many a maze run together. I knew Kaya Scodelario was in these movies, and she was absent, and I was pretty sure that there was a boy who missed her, and it was probably our dewy-eyed Thomas.

I could tell that Brenda (Rosa Salazar) had a crush on Thomas ( Dylan OвЂ™Brien) but was obviously doomed to Eponine status. Which speaks more to the skill of director Wes Ball and his engaging cast, all of whom are able to wordlessly communicate dynamics and histories that IвЂ™m grateful the script did not spend too much time rehashing. I donвЂ™t know if I could have said the same thing if I stepped into, say, The Return of the King completely blind. I put it all together rather quickly, and whatвЂ™s more, I had a pretty great time. Before the Mazehead community gets on me for this, IвЂ™ll submit, by way of excuse, that I have been haunted by a persistent eye-strain headache for the past week, and watching the first two Maze Runners did not seem quite like the death cure for me.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure was my first Maze Runner, and I think I did a pretty good job watching it, all things considered.
