Hunger Games vs. Divergent vs. Maze Runner

[Erzengel]

So I'm caught up so far on all these Dystopian Teen Series.

I've watched Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay 1.

I've watched Divergent and Insurgent.

I've watched Maze Runner.

I know Hunger Games is the most popular probably because of Jennifer Lawrence. I thought it was good but the movie and the following sequels, really didn't grab me. I don't care about Katniss, Peeta, or Thor's brother. I'm not really invested in any of the them. I'm just watching it because I already put time into watching the 1st one.

Divergent and Insurgent are okay. The first one was better than the second. But the whole premise of being divergent is definitely less appealing than the premise of Hunger Games. I just watched Insurgent last night, and I can see why critics panned it.

Lastly, Maze Runner and I have to say that out of all of them, I liked this one the most so far. I know the sequel is out soon and I'd definitely will watch this out of interest and not because I have to. I don't feel indifferent towards the characters like the with the other two series. T

Opinions? What do you feel about these series?

I've watched all the Hunger Games movies and read the books. I really like the first two movies, the third isn't as good, but that's because of the padding they added to make it stretch to two movies. I've read all the books and the action in the next movie should be great, not looking forward to the ending scenes though since I felt the series ended badly.

I saw Divergent and didn't feel the need to see Insurgent, it really feels like the made for TV/DVD version of these YA series. I read the books as well, but felt the longer the story went along the worse it got. Might catch Insurgent when it comes to cable, but definitely not something I feel I need to see.

Haven't seen or read any of the Maze Runner books or movies.

So Hunger Games for me.

A little early to tell so just judging off the first movies. I would say
1. Maze Runner 2. THG 3. Divergent.

I'll be surprised if Scorch Trials beats Catching Fire though.
I've only read the Hunger Games books

I went with Maze Runner because it was probably my favorite out of the three and I'm excited for the next. I do really like Hunger Games though. I felt that the first was just ok, the second was much better and the third was good but definitely needs Part 2 to really pay off (which it hopefully does).

Opinions? What do you feel about these series?

I saw the former two ( I'm indifferent to both a bit like you ), your comments made me want to see Maze Runner/Scorched Earth.
Thanks !
