	Author	Review
United Kingdom	John Hazelton Screendaily	"An efficient yet uninspiring sequel (...) his dystopian sci-fi adventure does little to broaden the franchise’s appeal"	NEU
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"A significant portion of The Scorch Trials is devoted to filling in the narrative gaps essential to maintaining the veil of mystery (...) Ironically, as more facts emerge they tend to undermine the storyline rather than reinforce it."	NEU
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"In Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, selfish oldsters scheme to rob young people of their vital essence, sacrificing them in the process. It’s basically 'Social Security: The Movie.' (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"The latest 'Maze Runner' movie succeeds well enough as derivative survival-horror-action thrillers go, but makes for an unsatisfying, confusing sequel"	NEU
United States	Walter Addiego SFGATE	"There’s lots of eye candy, and the pace is fast, but somehow the movie falls short (...) 'Scorch Trials' suffers from 'middle movie' fatigue"	NEU
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"Maze Runner's action, suspense and twists give movie fans of all ages a chance to embrace their inner on-the-run teenager (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Helen O'Hara Time Out	"With virtually no first act and an Empire Strikes Back-style cliffhanger, it’s a film hamstrung by its own unravel-the-conspiracy premise (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"A painfully conventional “YAFF" (...) This second film is about as good as I expected the first film to be. But since the first film was a surprising delight, that counts as something of a disappointment."	NEU
