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.

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...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

   Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure.  The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson. Image via nbc.com The warehouse was a spot...
