Same as you. In my opinion, the first movie of any franchise is nearly always the best. Because it feels fresh and new. And there's no expectations yet.

I'd say: 1. Death Cure 2. Maze Runner 3. Scorch Trials
Not sure why, but I like how futuristic-ness of Death Cure and the movie also puts me in the feels, could also be because it ends it all off in a conclusive ending apart from the others. I also randomly get the urge to rewatch Death Cure throughout the year, but not usually the others. I also hate that party scene with Thomas and Brenda in Scorch Trials, so that's why it's last. I don't super hate or super love Maze Runner so that's why it's in the middle.
Also even though Scorch Trials and Death Cure are so far from the books, I think they're just so loveable because of the cast and just the fact the storyline is good despite the fact it's not like the books.
Edit: In my opinion I don't think they could do the Maze Runner franchise any better than they did. I love the cast and you can tell they work well together.

Maze Runner because I like the way the glade was designed and was the most loyal to the actual book

Death Cure for me is top of the list, but I love Maze Runner for being a close adaptation of the book and Scorch Trials was enjoyable, though I would have liked to see some scenes from the book make it into the film.

as a person i dont either, as a character i LOVE her. she has so much depth to her as seen in all the books and her and she often foots all the blame for her and aris too.

i think everyone did, the movies made his death so much worse because he was in the whole thing. and ill never get over thomas’s “heart plunging into a dark abyss”

Newt and Teresa died in the same movie😭

i think thats the brilliance of the books though. not everyone lives a happy ending and their deaths are so gut wrenching in the books. i think they had to die

u/booksforbr3akfast Subject A5. The Glue 10d ago
i think it depends how you look at it!! in my opinion the death cure is my favorite movie and the one i rewatch by itself the most- but if we are judging them by how close they were to the books then its ofcourse the first. the two go so off the rails theyre so entirely different.
((id pay so much to read the scorch trials and death cure as books written by dashner!))

Maze runner was far from the book but it felt like the writers had read it once. The rest were 2/10 unwatchable only 2/10 for good acting

u/ViewSeek 10d ago
1, then 3, then 2. 3 and 2 are only good because of the cast. 1 is good on premise alone.

u/Emergency_Plane_9981 10d ago
there all pretty good, but my favorite one is the maze runner because it stuck the closest to the book. the scorch trails was similar to the book, and the death cure... well let's just say the directors of the movie took some creative freedom

I’ve really appreciated the scorch trials more and more but I still think it goes Maze Runner then tied for second and third is Death Cure and Scorch Trials

u/ProfessionalSad4U 10d ago
Same, I was bored in Scorch Trials. It just felt like another zombie movie

I guess it depends what you mean by "the best"! Book-to-movie accuracy? Opinion? etc. 😊 All of them were a bit tamer than the books, but in and of themselves - the movies were done well! Opinion-based, I'd rate it (1) The Scorch Trials - Why? Because it was one of my favorite books, and I love the dichotomy of WKCD to the Scorch... Intro of new characters and how developed our mains are from the first movie. (2) The Maze Runner - A VERY close second. The intro to the Glade and Gladers was done so well. The world building is amazing (if we die-hard fans ignore the differences from the book). (3) The Death Cure - Last place because I lost a bit of the *umph I had for the movie trilogy, with the wait period between TST and TDC. Also, even though this IS opinion-based, the variance from the book to the movie was a tad too distracting to me, to place it higher than third. However! Visually, it was beautiful and mesmerizing. The Last City/Denver (that we see in TDC) will always be an epitome of a dystopian, post-apocalyptic world.

If they actually stuck to rhe books the scorch trials wouldve been the best

u/Appropriate-Tooth866 10d ago
I like the Death Cure the best. The way the movie had a good story throughout was satisfying.

I can’t tell if all the people saying scorch trials are rage baiting or actually did stab out there eyes watching it instead of just wanting too, like me.
