(The first Maze Runner was okay, but I didn't want to invest the time in four more.)

There is too much going on with the overdone and unbelievable romance AND the war/supposed-to-be dystopian idea AND the psychologically-disturbed heroine/hero/villain (seriously: all three have major issues?!?). This is DEFINITELY more like Twilight than Hunger Games.(less)
