Hasn't Bob said in the past that he hates numerical scores? This new format seems odd for him.

Also:
0:00 to 1:03- Footage from the movie
1:03 to 3:56- Actual Review
3:56 to 4:20- More footage
4:20 to 4:48- Credits, a couple jokes

I know Bob has been padding his reviews for a while, but sticking in 1 1/2 minutes of filler in a video less than 5 minutes long is insane.

I do think that this was due to the sameness of this movie in comparison to Divergent, Hunger Games, etc. I can understand why Bob would stray from trudging the whole thing over and over again. Maybe he shouldn't have even reviewed this movie, just because we all know by now what he'll say, and what the movie is. There had to be SOMETHING else out.

I prefer to judge them on a single merit: Did I have fun watching it, or did I wish I was doing something else?

I don't care if he has a prejudice against them, but as a reviewer, I would think MB would strive for something close to objective. Otherwise, why have him tell you his version of the movie?

A review of a work of art is by it's nature subjective, asking a reviewer to be objective in expressing their opinion is contradictory.

A better aproach would be to look for critics and reviewers with similar opinions to yours; or just read reviews from other sites and critics to see how the movie performed.

You say that like I should have lots of time to dedicate to seeking out such critics. I'll just be my own.

Not that bad actually, it was a pretty cool ride and the world leaves you with so many questions. About the ending, I don't think it is actually that bad either, as we never really find out why the maze was created and for what purpose. The reason given to the characters was a deception, so there really wasn't an explanation given at the end. I think Maze Runner did a good job, and had a greater story and less cliché universe than the Hunger Games. The only real weakness of the movie are the characters which are super bland and 1 dimensional. I'd recommend people giving it a look when it goes to retail.
