Review- Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)

Image via Imdb.com
Maze Runner: The Death Cure is the final chapter of the Maze Runner trilogy starring Dylan O’Brien. The first chapter titled The Maze Runner and it’s sequel, The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials did amazing at the box office and I have no doubt that this will do the same. In this chapter, Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) and his friends embark on a dangerous mission to save their friend, MinHo (Ki Hong Lee) from the clutches of WCKD. They encounter a lot of obstacles and they must all fight to save their lives and the lives of others.

The first chapter of this film was undoubtedly the best. It was quite intense and had a lot of mystery. The Scorch Trails felt more like a horror film and it was my least favorite of the trilogy. I’ve been crazy about Dylan O’Brien ever since his Teen Wolf days and I loved the fact that he was the protagonist in this film series. He has come such a long way from Beacon Hills and he did an awesome job with his role. Kaya Scodelario did a good job as Teresa and you could see how much she was struggling with which side to stick with. She was caught between WCKD and Thomas but she genuinely wanted to find a cure. Rosa Salazar as Brenda was pretty bad ass. Although, for the first few minutes of the film, I thought she was Teresa. Am I the only one that felt like they really looked alike? Aiden Gillen as the bad guy made Death Cure more interesting to watch.

The plot was a bit thin and I wish it was a bit more complicated but it still worked nonetheless. It got a bit cheesy and predictable but I loved the theme of friendship that was explored through out the series. When compared to other film series like The Hunger Games and Divergent, this was way better. The cinematography and musics score was okay. Nothing out of the ordinary. The trilogy wasn’t perfect but they did a decent job with The Death Cure. I enjoyed watching this film and I don’t recommend you see it if you haven’t seen the first two chapters. It was a very satisfying film to watch and it definitely wasn't a waste of time and money.

"Who Killed Julia Montague?"- Bodyguard Finale

BBC's Bodyguard has been one of the most satisfying series I've seen so far, this year. Over six episodes, they delivered a Limited Series that kept you on the edge of your seat and wondering what was next for Richard Madden's David Budd. David meets up with Julia's PA, Chanel, who was fired in the first episode because he was suspicious of her involvement in the bombings and he was right. She had a hand in it. Chanel set David up and he ended up getting ambushed and kidnapped by the leader of the criminal group, Luke Aitkens. The police are finally  able to piece the puzzle and they findd out that the ex-soldier who tried to shoot Julia was David's friend and this raises an alarm. They're convinced that Budd was indeed behind the bombing. Budd wakes up alone and realizes that he is strapped to a bomb vest with his thumb taped to the activating button. He is unaware that he is currently being investigated by the police and uses someone's phone to call for...

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

SUITS: Season 6 finale

        The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey.          Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I c...
