Wes Ball has directed every entry in the franchise and he's evolved into a very skilled action filmmaker. Complex set-pieces with an incredible number of moving parts are depicted clearly, excitingly, and with visual panache
the best dystopian YA saga climaxes with huge and exhausting final chapter... Director Wes Ball graduates from the YA genre with honors, delivering an epic in which strong action is enough to overpower a weak story
downplaying some of the property's sillier elements when not jettisoning them entirely, and streamlining the narrative into a rousing and at times even emotional action film, "Death Cure" is the most successful entry in the franchise by far
by losing the worst plot elements (psychic links, your time is up), making it look great and focusing on the action, Ball and team have made this better than we had any right to expect
"The Death Cure" is better than "The Scorch Trials", and though both those titles sound like reality series on a particularly harsh food network, director Ball manages to give his finale a sense of sweep and spaciousness
"Maze Runner: The Death Cure" is a fitting, thrilling finale to the underrated franchise.. Sure it is predictable and far from original, but who cares when it delivers so much fun
