Honestly same, my school even made us read most of these, only ones we weren’t made to read was hunger games and that was because movies were already out and many had already seen it and a few had read it. Maze runner and divergent especially was my favorite to read.
Something interesting about Gally from the books: Long before Thomas arrived in the Glade, Gally was stung by a Griever and regained a few of his memories, which exist on a subconscious level. This is why Gally is so distrustful of Thomas, because some part of him remembers that Thomas is "the enemy."
@@imcrazierthanexpected5274 In the books they had the serum in stock. They already knew it could be used to save someone who was stung. That is the reason Minho was bringing Alby back, to take the serum. Otherwise, he would be bringing hiw without any way to help him, and he would just die anyway.
@@imcrazierthanexpected5274 The situation with Gally was complete different in the books. When the doors did not close he ran away through them into the maze. He was given as dead, but captured by wicked. They mind controlled him into attacking the others when they left. When he killed chuck thomas was the one to attack him, not Minho. He punched him until he was barely moving.
@@VinnyDiniz omg I always wondered why they made minoh carry him all that way and then in the NEXT scene decide to give up on him I’m so glad they explained it in the books that makes a lot of sense
WCKD changed all their names to those of historical figures: Newt for Isaac Newton, Thomas (who was originally Stephen) for Thomas Edison, Alby for Albert Einstein, Chuck for Charles Darwin, and Gally for Galileo, etc.
You guys are my confort channel. I'm so glad you liked it. Same as i said in The Hunger Games video, i love people discovering these sagas and figuring out that they are not ''teen sagas''. The main target was young adults because it was the demographic that was reading the books the most, but the topics are very heavy and real and well executed. Also fun fact: The third one took a long time because Dylan got injured doing a stunt and had to spend months in the hospital and doing physical therapy to regain full movility. This video made my day. As always, much love from Argentina.
@@BaddMedicine there are 5 books . 3 sequels and then 2 prequels . I have read any if them but it would have been great if the made a movie for all of them
@@Zombina638 They are made for teen audience yes but they are not teens movies. High school musical is a teen's movie. What I meant is that they might be considered for teens but they content feels more mature.
In the prequel the Fever Code, it's revealed that Thomas chose to go into the maze. He couldn't stand watching his friends suffering, so he devised a plan that he would go into the maze without having his memories erased so he could lead them out. But Teresa went behind his back & revealed the plan to Ava Paige, who then erased Thomas's memories before putting him in the maze. Teresa's memories weren't erased though, she was only pretending to have amnesia.
@petrastein2531 the book was released in 2017, it's a prequel called 'The Fever Code', and in it they expressly state that Theresa is going in and keeping her memories, only Thomas is being wiped per the plan and the doctor's decision to give him the Swipe. I just reviewed the last part of the book to refresh my memory. And it very specifically mentions she is getting to keep her memories. If you don't believe me, please by all means look if you yourself the info and book is easily google-able
@@KrazzeeKane I didn't read those and boy I'm glad for that, now that you've told me what it was about. I can't believe how an author would retcon his own trilogy like this... Thanks for the info! I think I won't take the prequel into consideration on purpose from now on. It reminds me of JK Rowling and her Cursed Child. xD But if you liked the book, fair enough, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. :) Lovely day!!
Its a fascinating series. You can also see it as like Pack mentality and Gally is an asshole but if the only thing you knew to keep you safe was staying and repetition, someone coming to change it can be horrifying. Talking as someone who has trouble with change Also Minhos’ mental prowess to know the maze so well and speed is top tier
The movies never mentions that Gally had some memories of Thomas before the Maze. In the books, he was a cliche antagonist, hated Thomas from the get go but refused to tell anyone he remembers him from before and for some reason knows Thomas is responsible for what's happening to all of them. The most frustrating part of the book, people refusing to give answers or say something that would impact the behavior of people around them. The movies handle a lot of the points much better. As you said, Gally fears change and Thomas is the instigator of it. it's so simple but it works much better than what the books present. This is arguably the only example of movies being better than the books.
Really the point of this all is to throw us into Thomas's perspective. He's scared, he's confused, he doesn't know what's happening or where he is, and that's what they want. Like they said, they're testing the kids, which means making sure they are always producing adrenaline, always scared, always on the edge of panic. That's just how Thomas's entire story goes, from the minute he wakes up in the Cage to the end of the trilogy he does not get a moment to rest. Everything is meant to be fast and confusing and fear-inducing. That's why the timeline is so fast, because we are experiencing this all alongside Thomas. We don't get the luxury of a sort of third-person perspective, we only know what Thomas knows.
The second in command was not Gally, it was Newt, Alby also said that. Actually it is probably Alby > Newt ≥ Minho > Gally. This is why even though Gally was against it, Thomas is made a runner, because the last decision was up to Newt. And Newt asked Minho about his opinion on Thomas. Because runners are best of the Gladers phsically and mentally and Minho, the leader, is the best of the runners so it gives him a higher spot on hyerarchy. Also he's best friends with Newt so Newt respects his opinions. Another important thing you shouldn't forget is that like Ava Page (the scientest woman) said, a generation, with kids that are immune to the virus, is born. But not everyone in that generation is immune. (f. e. Ben was not immune so he got infected when he got stung.) That's why they "collected" the kids, to see why the immune ones are immune. They put them in the glade, in a survival envoirment, to test their brain functions, since the virus targets the brain. But the main test was to get out, and our kids survived the maze, so it makes them special.
One correction. What Ben was injected with was not the same virus as the flare, so it has nothing to do if he was an immune. It was a type of venom that WCKD put in the grievers to test the gladers and they had an antidote for it, so that is why no one has been stung yet survived and Alby was able to be cured of it. That would not be the case if it were the flare.
In the books, you learn that Thomas has always been the mastermind behind everything. It's not mentioned in the movies but spoilers, Thomas even designed the mazes and trials pretty much by himself.
The last film took so long to come out because Dylan O'Brien (Thomas) sadly was injured while doing one of the stunts for the 3rd movie. He suffered a concussion, brain trauma, and facial fractures. The film was delayed while he recovered from all the injuries he sustained. I won't specify what scene, of course, because spoilers are the absolute worst, but he almost quit acting after the final Maze Runner film. I think he took about a 5-year hiatus afterward before he luckily returned
Feel free to drop your thoughts. We have completed all 3 movies over on Patreon. Didn't know that he almost wanted to quit acting after those injuries.
Admittedly, I was first a fan of Dylan O'Brien from his role in the Teen Wolf TV series and that's what first introduced me to this movie series. The Maze Runner trilogy is an emotional ride at times, but it's also action-packed and pretty amazing! It's nice to re-experience this all over again and get to hear your thoughts on it. Oh and belated happy Thanksgiving from Canada!
This is definitely my favorite YA Book movie adaptation. Having to compete with the hunger games and divergent I think they did a wonderful job and Dylan O Brian really kills it. Also this movie is very inspired by 1963’s Lord of the Flies.
Am I the only one noticing Potter glasses on the Oak's board? It's the cutest thing ever! Also, thank you so much for your reactions to these sagas. I grew up with them and watching you discovering them for the first time is a real pleasure!
Im so glad you guys are diving into these ! I love this series ( Dylan O'Brien is SO underrated in my opinion) FUN FACT: but the 3 year gap between the last 2 movies you mentioned was because of an accident while doing a stunt that Dylan O'brien was involved in on set. He ended up being seriously injured and had to go through physio to learn how to walk again and had reconstruction surgery done on his face i believe ...Apperently finishing the movie for him was extremely stressful and he almost quit acting because of it! Thankfully he didnt and is still making movies today ! :D
In the books the Glade had groups, many young boys got stung by the grievers and they also had the cure for that, it wasn't something that was brought by Teresa at the end, so many of them remembered what happened before the maze and when Thomas came they were like "no, no" with him, among those boys was Gally. Also, the thing that was in the grievers was a serum made by WICKED to make them remember and they sent monthly cures in the box as well. I NEED THE VIDEOS OF THE OTHER MOVIES hahahahhaha can't wait🙈 amazing reaction and I love you loved the movie😎
OMG!! I still remember how I suggested this for the first time after the Harry Potter finale😅 i’m so, so glad you guys went through with it. One of my favorites, if not the best in its genre. Production is amazing, acting is top tier. I’m not even gonna start on Dylan who plays Thomas. Strongly believe he’s one of the best of our gen. Thank you again for reacting. The second one might be my favorite, very excitingly looking forward for more. 💖💖
Great reaction guys! 😊 I've been waiting for this one. I absolutely love this movie trilogy. The books are fantastic as well. Chuck's death scene at the end always brings several tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Definitely looking forward to you guys getting to the sequel, "The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials".
If you want to see more Dylan O'Brien goodness, he plays one of the main characters in Teen Wolf, and he makes some of his best acting during season 3 :3 don't hesitate to check it out
I love that the opening scenes you are with Thomas in the box. You are lost, confused and scared. All the information he is trying to grasp and get we the audience are trying to as well. The actors in my opinion after this movie really took off because the emotional range they are able to portray. Dylan O’Brien (Thomas) has become one of my favorite actors because he gives 110% in everything he does and makes you believe whatever he is saying or doing in a scene. (American assassin, love and monsters, amazing stories[apple+ tv series]) Same with Thomas Brodie-Sangster (newt) and William poulter (gally) Love your videos❤ I hope you really enjoy this series. And look into haunting of hill house. 😊
YOOOOO someone else who has watched The Internship! One of my favorite feel-good movies. Hope you guys enjoy! Newt is my favorite character in this series.
One of the few instances where I enjoyed the movie over the book. In the movie the characters are much nicer and friendlier and while the overall plot is the same, the way everything gets solved is much simpler in the movie.
I remember I picked this book up while I was killing time in a bookshop and immediately got sucked in with the intense and mysterious opening. I bought the set, went home and read them all, watched the two movies that were out and went to see the third in theaters. I think this is one of the few movie series that actually did a good job adapting the books. Watching your guys' reaction made me remember just how good of a series it is! Glad you enjoyed it!
Basically each section has a greiver and when the greiver returns to its sections the maze changes, hence it changed when they brought the key near the greiver hole
I loved the trilogy, as a book reader - it does take some ability to separate the film adaptation from the written word but if you’re able to do this, it is enjoyable for those who have and have not read them. It’s definitely underrated in both forms compared to other franchises. Also Dylan O’Brien, the world loves him - his Thomas wanting out of the maze within 3 days is exactly how I was after 30 minutes stuck in Indianapolis. “I’VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!”
Here are the names of everyone who escaped alive so that you can know. Thomas (main guy) Teresa (girl) Newt (British accent guy) Minho (runner leader) Frypan (black guy, keeper of cooks) Winston (Indian guy, keeper of slicers) Jack (short kid with white shirt, didn’t have any lines but is recognizable due to his short height) Billy (curly haired boy with blue shirt, also didn’t have any lines) Tim (Hispanic kid with yellow hoodie, didn’t have any lines) Jack, Billy and Tim are all “extras” so they aren’t really important. In total: 9 gladers escaped.
The Maze Runner franchise was a huge success as a book series. I love the first movie so much, Dylan O'Brien as Thomas is the icing on the cake, incredible actor. I read the Hunger Games, Maze Runner and Divergent book series as a teenager. For me, those are the Holy Trinity of young adults franchises. I don't know how you missed it but I did watch all movies at the cinema. The quality drops a little bit in the second and third movie of the franchise but still amazing movies to watch.
Wait til you see the next two movies! Suspense and thrilling does not even begin to explain how fucking epic the series actually is…As far as YA series went The Maze Runner hands down has to be my all time favourite movie trilogy hands down…This was Wes Ball’s director debut i believe…at least that’s what i remember hearing i could be wrong..but he is an absolutel visionary and the writer of the books was on set for alot of the filming as well..He gave his seal of approval on this trilogy…I’m so excited to see your next two reactions to the next two installments. Also there is nothing more adorable than seeing three grown men go Ughhh in synchronized fashion when the Griever’s head got squished closer to the end lol
I love that this movie skews more “lord of the flies” and less teen romance with dystopia thrown in. It feels grittier and more real than the other YA dystop film series. Without being depressing :) Great watch!
This trilogy was my shit when I was in my teens, I was obsessed with Dylan bc of Teen Wolf and then found these and I was hooked. Definitely quite a ride but it pays off. Dylan and Kihong (Minho) were my boys for the longest time lol Also as someone terrified of spiders, the grievers were my nightmare
this vid is old but ive rewatched it at least 5 times so happy to be able to watch you guys and watch these incredible movies wish i could watch it my first time again
It's been a while since I read the Maze Runner books, but if I remember correctly, the movies were pretty accurate to the books. I enjoyed them so much! Really glad you all liked it too :)
Great reaction guys! Can't wait to hear your opinions on how this series progresses 🤔 It wasn't what I expected when I watched (especially the second one!) so I'm super excited to see if you get as surprised as I did with the direction it goes! Can't wait for more 👍🏼😊
@@BaddMedicine totally agree! What a great idea, mini series of life in the maze before Thomas 😯 wait until you see the rest of it, there could be so many takes on a series spin off 😄
I’m so glad someone else knows Dylan O’Brian from The Internship, that’s the first movie I ever saw him in and it’s one of my favourite movies. He absolutely kills it in this series tho
I actually read the books as an adult as they are geared to teenagers but gave a lot of detail that you don't see in the movies and they have a prequel which is amazing that they give details of what really happened. Unfortunately, they don't have a movie for the prequel.
My favorites are Thomas, Minho, and Frypan lol he’s quiet but he’s loyal and useful. Thomas is curious and valiant, even tho impulsive at times. And Minho is athletic, smart, able to move fast and adapt.
What an amazing film. I remember in 2014 I saw this in theaters having never heard anything about. This movie is great to go into without having seen even a trailer. As many franchises, the first film was my favorite.
When you've read the second prequel Fever Code, you find out that Theresa was actually sent into the maze with her memories intact, since she fully believed in what WICKED was doing, whereas Thomas had befriended some of the boys and hated seeing them dying and suffering in the maze.
I remember reading the books when I was a preteen. My grade 6 through 8 teacher liked to read books to us when we had free time. The Maze Runner was one of them. I remember liking it so much that I went and read the next two lol. Good times 😊 I miss that teacher
My husband is on deployment and i am living in a state 2000 miles away from where my family and friends are. It's been 2 months and it can get really lonely. Im so glad i found this channel. It feels like im sharing my favorite movies with good friends. Thank you
I’m so excited for you guys to watch the rest of the movies, you guys are my comfort channel and always manage to lift my mood whenever I’m feeling a little low.
So glad you guys are doing these movies, they've always been my favorite and when I started watching your videos I needed to know your reaction to this. So excited for the next video.
one of my fav movie....the "amnesia" element really did a good job to make the audience join thomas perspective finding out from zero knowledge about where and what to do...
The Maze Runner books are my favourite books and The Maze Runner movies are my favourite movies. I’ve seen each of the movies upwards of 8 times and I never get tired of them - especially the first one, as it captures the books storyline the best (but still obviously has its differences). Dylan’s acting will never fail to amaze me and it gives me gosebumps every time I watch it. I can’t wait to see your reaction to the other 2 movies Fun fact: they get out of the maze completely differently in the books ;)
If you want a badass spy thriller featuring Dylan O'Brian, check out American Assassin. It's based off of a book series that is extremely popular and it's an awesome movie.
Fun fact: The author of the books has cameos in these films. At the end of this one, he is the guy sitting at the end of the table on the left side when Ava Paige says it's time to begin phase two.
Loved the reaction! By the way, the third movie was supposed to come out one year after the second, in 2016, but during the shooting Dylan O'Brien, the protagonist, had an accident and they had to stop production, then Kaya Scodelario, the girl, got pregnant and had a baby (she's married to the actor who plays Gil-gald in Rings of Power), so they had to postpone the movie for 2 years and a half
When this first came out I wanted to see it but was ill for a long time...since then I'd forgotten about it and wasn't aware there was a series... The lead actor I first saw on tv in a series..Werewolf..or something..and thought he was an excellent actor...I Thanks for bringing this to your channel...I'll be watching for the next installments...🌿🌿🌿
The reason there is a large break between the 2nd and 3rd movies is because Dylan O'Brien got very seriously injured filming the 3rd movie. They had to pause production for almost a year to let him recover. They weren't even sure he'd come back to the project because of how traumatic the injury was. But Dylan is a trooper and he wanted to finish hit for himself, the fans, and all of the cast and crew.
Loved this reaction! The second film is good in my opinion, but the storyline is wildly different to the books! Not my personal favourite but still a very good watch, it really works to set up perfectly for the third instalment! Can’t wait to see you guys dive into the rest, will be checking out your other videos for sure!
It's one of my favorite movie series. Maybe my number one favorite. So glad to see you enjoyed it. Looking forward to your reaction to the other 2 movies.
I'm typically someone who likes the books more than the movies of any series, but these movies blew me away. And I even felt that they got even better throughout the rest of the movie series
I really loved this series. Have all the films and the first book; my oldest nephew has the whole book series. Me and him has much more common things than anybody in our family. Maze Runner is amazing. You guys need to start watching the "Making of" documentaries. The Making of the Maze Runner is something you definitely need to watch; how they turned a grass field in Louisiana into that unbelievable maze; and how the director Wes Ball envisioned the maze and the grievers.
One heck of film and story here! Thank you to everyone who suggested this. What is everyones reaction to Maze Runner? Did we miss anything? Scorch trials reaction: ua-cam.com/video/A96sMcwJlxM/v-deo.html

Thomas is like that. Being that active. Part of the reason he was put in the Maze was to push the others to the end of that fase.

This is definitely my favorite YA Book movie adaptation. Having to compete with the hunger games and divergent I think they did a wonderful job and Dylan O Brian really kills it. Also this movie is very inspired by 1963’s Lord of the Flies.
Am I the only one noticing Potter glasses on the Oak's board? It's the cutest thing ever!
Also, thank you so much for your reactions to these sagas. I grew up with them and watching you discovering them for the first time is a real pleasure!
I think a small handful noticed. 😁😁😁 Thank you for watching. We appreciate it 🤙
One of my favorite actor is Dylan O'Brian. He really can get into his roles. He has proved himself so well.
Im so glad you guys are diving into these ! I love this series ( Dylan O'Brien is SO underrated in my opinion)
FUN FACT: but the 3 year gap between the last 2 movies you mentioned was because of an accident while doing a stunt that Dylan O'brien was involved in on set. He ended up being seriously injured and had to go through physio to learn how to walk again and had reconstruction surgery done on his face i believe ...Apperently finishing the movie for him was extremely stressful and he almost quit acting because of it! Thankfully he didnt and is still making movies today ! :D
In the books the Glade had groups, many young boys got stung by the grievers and they also had the cure for that, it wasn't something that was brought by Teresa at the end, so many of them remembered what happened before the maze and when Thomas came they were like "no, no" with him, among those boys was Gally. Also, the thing that was in the grievers was a serum made by WICKED to make them remember and they sent monthly cures in the box as well. I NEED THE VIDEOS OF THE OTHER MOVIES hahahahhaha can't wait🙈 amazing reaction and I love you loved the movie😎
OMG!! I still remember how I suggested this for the first time after the Harry Potter finale😅 i’m so, so glad you guys went through with it. One of my favorites, if not the best in its genre. Production is amazing, acting is top tier. I’m not even gonna start on Dylan who plays Thomas. Strongly believe he’s one of the best of our gen. Thank you again for reacting. The second one might be my favorite, very excitingly looking forward for more. 💖💖
This was an awesome film! Y'all keep making awesome suggestions.
Great reaction guys! 😊
I've been waiting for this one. I absolutely love this movie trilogy. The books are fantastic as well.
Chuck's death scene at the end always brings several tears to my eyes every time I watch it.
Definitely looking forward to you guys getting to the sequel, "The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials".
Was not happy about Chuck 😂
If you want to see more Dylan O'Brien goodness, he plays one of the main characters in Teen Wolf, and he makes some of his best acting during season 3 :3 don't hesitate to check it out
It's so satisfying to see you realizing these "kids" movies are actually really awesome (and quite gruesome).
You guys have no idea how much you make my days better ☺️
Glad we can be apart of your day!
these are some of my favorite movies EVER! Dylan O’brien is such a talented actor and you’ll love him!
I love that the opening scenes you are with Thomas in the box. You are lost, confused and scared. All the information he is trying to grasp and get we the audience are trying to as well.
The actors in my opinion after this movie really took off because the emotional range they are able to portray. Dylan O’Brien (Thomas) has become one of my favorite actors because he gives 110% in everything he does and makes you believe whatever he is saying or doing in a scene. (American assassin, love and monsters, amazing stories[apple+ tv series])
Same with Thomas Brodie-Sangster (newt) and William poulter (gally)
Love your videos❤ I hope you really enjoy this series. And look into haunting of hill house. 😊
YOOOOO someone else who has watched The Internship! One of my favorite feel-good movies. Hope you guys enjoy! Newt is my favorite character in this series.
One of the few instances where I enjoyed the movie over the book. In the movie the characters are much nicer and friendlier and while the overall plot is the same, the way everything gets solved is much simpler in the movie.
I remember I picked this book up while I was killing time in a bookshop and immediately got sucked in with the intense and mysterious opening. I bought the set, went home and read them all, watched the two movies that were out and went to see the third in theaters. I think this is one of the few movie series that actually did a good job adapting the books. Watching your guys' reaction made me remember just how good of a series it is! Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm glad you liked the books my cousin is actually the author of the books
Basically each section has a greiver and when the greiver returns to its sections the maze changes, hence it changed when they brought the key near the greiver hole
I loved the trilogy, as a book reader - it does take some ability to separate the film adaptation from the written word but if you’re able to do this, it is enjoyable for those who have and have not read them. It’s definitely underrated in both forms compared to other franchises.
Also Dylan O’Brien, the world loves him - his Thomas wanting out of the maze within 3 days is exactly how I was after 30 minutes stuck in Indianapolis. “I’VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!”
😂😂😂😂 love you ending here
So glad you guys are watching this! The Mazerunner series are amazing
Here are the names of everyone who escaped alive so that you can know.
Thomas (main guy)
Teresa (girl)
Newt (British accent guy)
Minho (runner leader)
Frypan (black guy, keeper of cooks)
Winston (Indian guy, keeper of slicers)
Jack (short kid with white shirt, didn’t have any lines but is recognizable due to his short height)
Billy (curly haired boy with blue shirt, also didn’t have any lines)
Tim (Hispanic kid with yellow hoodie, didn’t have any lines)
Jack, Billy and Tim are all “extras” so they aren’t really important.
In total: 9 gladers escaped.
This movie is timeless (and so underrated). One of the best movie theatre experience.
Yes! Such an underrated series
This one was surprisingly great!
It is not underrated at all 🤣 well maybe it is in the USA yet not in France
@@anaislm5278 yeah it was massive in my country too
The Maze Runner franchise was a huge success as a book series. I love the first movie so much, Dylan O'Brien as Thomas is the icing on the cake, incredible actor.
I read the Hunger Games, Maze Runner and Divergent book series as a teenager. For me, those are the Holy Trinity of young adults franchises.
I don't know how you missed it but I did watch all movies at the cinema.
The quality drops a little bit in the second and third movie of the franchise but still amazing movies to watch.
I love the reference to We’re the Millers. You quoted my favorite line, “you guys are getting paid?” Hahaha he was so clueless in that movie.
It's only Thomas Brodie Sangster who got to keep his british accent because his character Newt was a british boy.
Wait til you see the next two movies! Suspense and thrilling does not even begin to explain how fucking epic the series actually is…As far as YA series went The Maze Runner hands down has to be my all time favourite movie trilogy hands down…This was Wes Ball’s director debut i believe…at least that’s what i remember hearing i could be wrong..but he is an absolutel visionary and the writer of the books was on set for alot of the filming as well..He gave his seal of approval on this trilogy…I’m so excited to see your next two reactions to the next two installments. Also there is nothing more adorable than seeing three grown men go Ughhh in synchronized fashion when the Griever’s head got squished closer to the end lol
I love that this movie skews more “lord of the flies” and less teen romance with dystopia thrown in. It feels grittier and more real than the other YA dystop film series. Without being depressing :)
Great watch!
This trilogy was my shit when I was in my teens, I was obsessed with Dylan bc of Teen Wolf and then found these and I was hooked. Definitely quite a ride but it pays off. Dylan and Kihong (Minho) were my boys for the longest time lol
Also as someone terrified of spiders, the grievers were my nightmare
this vid is old but ive rewatched it at least 5 times so happy to be able to watch you guys and watch these incredible movies wish i could watch it my first time again
I’ve rewatched this movie too many times to count I remember everything that happens, still fun to watch.
@@TotallyNotQFQNRtrue back after 6 months to watch again lol
It's been a while since I read the Maze Runner books, but if I remember correctly, the movies were pretty accurate to the books. I enjoyed them so much! Really glad you all liked it too :)
Great reaction guys! Can't wait to hear your opinions on how this series progresses 🤔 It wasn't what I expected when I watched (especially the second one!) so I'm super excited to see if you get as surprised as I did with the direction it goes! Can't wait for more 👍🏼😊
This was just an awesome story. Really surprised this isn't a series on a streaming service. Feels like there's a good chunk of story to be told.
@@BaddMedicine totally agree! What a great idea, mini series of life in the maze before Thomas 😯 wait until you see the rest of it, there could be so many takes on a series spin off 😄
Minho is a gem honestly 😍
I’m so glad someone else knows Dylan O’Brian from The Internship, that’s the first movie I ever saw him in and it’s one of my favourite movies. He absolutely kills it in this series tho
Definitely an underrated trilogy. One of my favourites. Rad that you guys enjoyed it! Scorch Trials was also super Immersive
God, Dylan knows how to hit in the emotional. You guys should watch Monsters and Love
Love and monsters was a surprise to me. I didn't have been surprised with Dylan laying the cat. American Assassin was really good too
this is honestly one of my favourite book and movie series of all times. im glad you guys loved it as much as i did
I actually read the books as an adult as they are geared to teenagers but gave a lot of detail that you don't see in the movies and they have a prequel which is amazing that they give details of what really happened. Unfortunately, they don't have a movie for the prequel.
Yay! Great choice, this trilogy is pretty strong... look forward to it all 😁
😁😁🤘🤘
My favorites are Thomas, Minho, and Frypan lol he’s quiet but he’s loyal and useful. Thomas is curious and valiant, even tho impulsive at times. And Minho is athletic, smart, able to move fast and adapt.
This is a good trilogy to pick!
Watching your reactions are good stress reliever
Hell of a compliment! Glad we can are a good go!
Yay finally!!! This is my favourite trilogy!!! So happy you enjoyed it and they get better, with constant story progression!
What an amazing film. I remember in 2014 I saw this in theaters having never heard anything about. This movie is great to go into without having seen even a trailer. As many franchises, the first film was my favorite.
When you've read the second prequel Fever Code, you find out that Theresa was actually sent into the maze with her memories intact, since she fully believed in what WICKED was doing, whereas Thomas had befriended some of the boys and hated seeing them dying and suffering in the maze.
Also recognizing Dylan O’Brien from THE INTERNSHIP is so freaking funny
been watching for maybe a month and i love the content coming out! Keep up the great work boys
Much appreciated and thanks for watching🤘
If I remember correctly in the book they get showers and fresh clothes provided to them. They even have a kitchen with supplies and appliances!
I remember reading the books when I was a preteen. My grade 6 through 8 teacher liked to read books to us when we had free time. The Maze Runner was one of them. I remember liking it so much that I went and read the next two lol. Good times 😊 I miss that teacher
My husband is on deployment and i am living in a state 2000 miles away from where my family and friends are. It's been 2 months and it can get really lonely. Im so glad i found this channel. It feels like im sharing my favorite movies with good friends. Thank you
I’m so excited for you guys to watch the rest of the movies, you guys are my comfort channel and always manage to lift my mood whenever I’m feeling a little low.
That's one heck of compliment. We appreciate it! Glad you are enjoying 🤙
So glad you guys are doing these movies, they've always been my favorite and when I started watching your videos I needed to know your reaction to this. So excited for the next video.
one of my fav movie....the "amnesia" element really did a good job to make the audience join thomas perspective finding out from zero knowledge about where and what to do...
I remember being in middle school and there being a Maze Runner iPhone game that was like Subway Surfer/Temple Run
This trilogy is criminally underrated in my opinion.
this series is one of my fav teen dystopian sci-fi movie! Dylan O'Brian is so good in it.
The Maze Runner books are my favourite books and The Maze Runner movies are my favourite movies. I’ve seen each of the movies upwards of 8 times and I never get tired of them - especially the first one, as it captures the books storyline the best (but still obviously has its differences). Dylan’s acting will never fail to amaze me and it gives me gosebumps every time I watch it. I can’t wait to see your reaction to the other 2 movies
Fun fact: they get out of the maze completely differently in the books ;)
Even reading and watching the first maze runner years ago, I still am surprise with how great it is
If you want a badass spy thriller featuring Dylan O'Brian, check out American Assassin. It's based off of a book series that is extremely popular and it's an awesome movie.
The Oak always looks like he's one second away from falling asleep. I love it haha
😂😂😂
I look like I zone out pretty hard sometimes when I get hyper-focused!!! -OAK
@@davidbaye3758 My father was like that, probably why I find it so endearing when you do it :)
Newt is my favorite character in the whole world of books, I love him soooo much
Fun fact: The author of the books has cameos in these films. At the end of this one, he is the guy sitting at the end of the table on the left side when Ava Paige says it's time to begin phase two.
Oooh! This is one of the best i'm excited. I love Dylan on this.
Omg I love that you guys have my two favorite movie series posters! Glad you guys took a chance on them❤
I was blown away when I first watched it and I couldn’t wait until the next came out. I’ve watched it twice since and I loved it.
One cool thing I just love about Maze Runner and the Trilogy, throughout the whole movies they always are running, its great.
Haven't even started the reaction and I am so happy you guys are finally watching this! Love your reactions, can't wait.
YESSSS!!! so happy you guys decided to watch this!!! it's an amazing saga
Loved this 1st one
Next 2 are just as awesome. Get ready for a lot more action, some edgy suspense and some heart wrenching moments. Loved this unsung trilogy.
Didn't expect you guys react to maze runner 🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved the reaction! By the way, the third movie was supposed to come out one year after the second, in 2016, but during the shooting Dylan O'Brien, the protagonist, had an accident and they had to stop production, then Kaya Scodelario, the girl, got pregnant and had a baby (she's married to the actor who plays Gil-gald in Rings of Power), so they had to postpone the movie for 2 years and a half
When this first came out I wanted to see it but was ill for a long time...since then I'd forgotten about it and wasn't aware there was a series...
The lead actor I first saw on tv in a series..Werewolf..or something..and thought he was an excellent actor...I
Thanks for bringing this to your channel...I'll be watching for the next installments...🌿🌿🌿
The reason there is a large break between the 2nd and 3rd movies is because Dylan O'Brien got very seriously injured filming the 3rd movie. They had to pause production for almost a year to let him recover. They weren't even sure he'd come back to the project because of how traumatic the injury was. But Dylan is a trooper and he wanted to finish hit for himself, the fans, and all of the cast and crew.
and then after he recover, he did American Assassin before he came back to the 3rd maze runner movie.
A class act, I think.
YAAASSS!! I was hoping you guys would watch The Maze Runner! Thank you!!
LET'S GO I love these movies, can't wait to see your reaction to this!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Loved this reaction! The second film is good in my opinion, but the storyline is wildly different to the books! Not my personal favourite but still a very good watch, it really works to set up perfectly for the third instalment! Can’t wait to see you guys dive into the rest, will be checking out your other videos for sure!
Newt is awesome. Thomas Sangster did such a good job portraying Newt
he was great in the 3rd one but sad as hell too.
@@KHWendy28 NOOO, don't remind me I literally cried both when watching the movie and when I read the book.....

@@alizaborahae1569 fr fr
This movie came out my senior year of highschool, I loved these more than Hunger Games ❤
I'm for sure gonna watch this franchise now loved the reaction guys, I love watching you with my popcorn
ive been waiting for this!
This was awesome!
It's one of my favorite movie series. Maybe my number one favorite. So glad to see you enjoyed it. Looking forward to your reaction to the other 2 movies.
Ohhh yes, I've been waiting for this one as well! Books are sickk.
I'm typically someone who likes the books more than the movies of any series, but these movies blew me away. And I even felt that they got even better throughout the rest of the movie series
I really loved this series. Have all the films and the first book; my oldest nephew has the whole book series. Me and him has much more common things than anybody in our family.
Maze Runner is amazing. You guys need to start watching the "Making of" documentaries. The Making of the Maze Runner is something you definitely need to watch; how they turned a grass field in Louisiana into that unbelievable maze; and how the director Wes Ball envisioned the maze and the grievers.
newt and minho are the best
i cant wait to see you react to the other parts
