This was bad, like really really bad. Not a nostalgia moment, actors were bad, zords were bad, not even a proper megazord scene. What a huge waste of time
Zordon once said a long time ago to "recruit a team of teenagers with attitude." Somehow the message was lost over the years and became "recruit a team of teenage criminals with suicidal tendencies." Thus goes the theme of this flick. The characters in this movie make no sense, they act like idiots and then wonder why everything goes wrong for them and proceed to blame everybody and everything else. It is truly an insult to the original series even if it has been "modernized" to reflect an edgier (read: criminal) teenage crew. At one point in the movie Kimberly is wearing a tank top with the emblazoned words "it was all a dream" on it. That is so appropriate, I kind of wish this movie was just a dream, a bad one at that.
Rita Repulsa taking a break to eat a Krispy Kreme donut? This movie dragged my childhood out into the street and emptied a machine gun into it.
This is not a great movie.
The dark character drama is never organically supported by the colorful science fiction premise. The result is that those coming here for the fun costumed action will be bored, as the action is very much delayed, and those who were compelled by the character studies will find those glossed over and never fully resolved.
It doesn't help that the action sequences are rather poorly directed, leading some pretty good CGI work to never feel as spectacular as it could be. the scale of the final monster is comparable to pacific rim, but the finale ends up feeling more like a kid clashing his toy and going "pow pow pow BOOM" than a choreographed action sequence.
Most of those sequences have issues with establishing the geography of the scene and providing iconic shots.
But there is some pretty good writing in places. you feel for those troubled teens with a heart of gold, and each has the seeds of a compelling arc, from the star jock cracking under the pressure of expectations, the OCD ridden asperger kid, the repenting mean girl. the dialogue is snappy and deadpan, which is a trope, but mostly well executed. But how do you make it work with being defenders of life on earth, piloting animal shaped tanks called "zords"?
It feels like a few passes of polish on the script and the storyboard would have been needed to find the gems hidden in this rough, mundane stone.
I enjoyed it! Big nostalgitrip, got goosebumps when the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme came on!
I Wish it did better in the box-office, i want a sequel. It took 90 minutes before they became Power Rangers..
I recommend it, especially if you watched The old series!
As a sci-fi fan, I like the story, even though you have seen selected parts before, but on the whole not bad, rather exciting all the time & good CGI. Better and promising introduction, than the last half. Too bad that Cranston did not "come alive", but on the other hand there is chance for sequels... Interesting with another role for "comedienne" Bank as a villain. British Naomi Scott is both beautiful and stylish in a natural way and acts well.
Based on the American TV-series from 1990-1999 with the same name.
Brilliant. I loved every second. the way the characters were developed led to an even bigger staisfaction towards the end of the movie. These are real teenagers with real life problems which adds to their relatability thus creating a movie where the viewer feels emotionally invested. I personally work with autistic children so being able to see the Blue Ranger portray a character on the spectrum was heartwarming and amazingly executed
