Okay, The Maze Runner Poster and Trailer, You Have My Attention
 |
So, basically: Hunger Games meets Cube with a little Temple Run thrown in, starring asshole cousin Eustace from the Narnia movies? I’m feeling pretty good about that…
…until the trailer calls it the beginning of an epic saga, at which point I realize nothing in the movie will be resolved because they want to make four of them or something (yep, the book it’s based on has two sequels and a prequel).
Look, I love the whole larger universe thing Marvel does…but the rest of you: worry about telling ONE good story. With an ending. Then come up with half-baked ideas for sequels like everyone else.
