They could andAs a longtime fan, I couldn't help but cringe as I suffered through this 50 minutes of trash. To start off with the obvious, This is supposed to be a big reunion/anniversary special and the cast here is extremely limited. They could and should have done better. The second most obvious thing is that while the cast does try, The script they're given honestly makes you question what passes for quality at Netflix. It's so cringe-worthy and at times when it was supposed to be taken seriously, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. And on top of all that, It ends with one of the cheapest CG zord battles you'll ever see. This is the ultimate slap in the face to every fan of the series. There was zero effort here.… Expand

Disappointed they didn't bring in some of the others or at least just show them fighting. What really kept this from being ultimately good though is the CGI slug fest at the end. Why would they spend the money on that garbage instead of doingDisappointed they didn't bring in some of the others or at least just show them fighting. What really kept this from being ultimately good though is the CGI slug fest at the end. Why would they spend the money on that garbage instead of doing in practically as they had before? So infuriating. Overall though the movie is fine, definitely something you're going to want to watch if you were a fan of the originals.… Expand

Trini's death was very heroic and emotional. Minh was a great character throughout the writing could've been tidied up I believe her character arc was really good. Even though Jason, Kimberly, and Tommy weren't there it didn't ruin the experience for me at all. The OG Megazord was really good loved the original formation scene and the battle scene enough it was short. The tribute of Jason David Frank and Thuy Trang got me the most.… Expand

A fun random nostalgic time here, regretting my red ranger allegiance as black clearly shines here, oh well.

Me llama la atención que para la poca duración que tiene no hayan puesto más empeño en los efectos. Sé que se quería parecer lo más posible al clásico, pero un poco de actualización no le hubiese venido mal.
Como especial cumple, salvo algún que otro detalle medio ridículo, como esos 10 segundos de inclusión forzada. Las actuaciones son un poco duras, es verdad pasaron como 30 años desde la serie original, pero siento que le podrían haber puesto un poco más de onda. Supongo que debe haber algo con el presupuesto de por medio.
¿Será que si a este especial le va bien en la plataforma, Netflix pensará en hacer una serie especial?
Sea como sea, la parte de entretener la cumple hasta ahí. Como dije arriba, más que nada por apelar a la nostalgia.
Termina haciéndose previsible y por momentos se nota que sobra alguna que otra escena.… Expand

It was a great heartfelt film that left you wondering what adventures will they get into next. Hopefully a sequel.

Loved it. It's just a shame the CGI zords sorta spoiled the fun. I don't know why it was too hard for them to find or recreate the suits.

Now I know people are going to be boo it sucks because jdf wasn't in or oh its not worth it because Amy jo and asj aren't in but if you actually pay attention you'd know that all of the og team that were around were asked and at the time jdf was still alive but they turned it down and asj has Legal issues that bindded him to the u.s so he could be apart of this so when you take all of that into account then you'd see what they had to deal with. Now if we continue to watch it then Netflix will see and they'd be like hay lets do a Sequel or hay here's a 10 episode series watch that but all in all this was a really good movie given the hand they were delt and I can't wait to see it again.… Expand

All the energetic posing, explosions, over-the-top villains, and spectacular fight scenes that made the originalTHE MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS ARE BACK! Unlike other revivals, this special stays true to the spirit of the source material. All the energetic posing, explosions, over-the-top villains, and spectacular fight scenes that made the original such compelling viewing are lovingly recreated in all their delightfully cheesy glory. You can genuinely feel all the love that has gone into this special to make it faithful to the original. But there's a fresh modern twist, as the characters are fleshed out more with juicy internal conflicts and a high-stakes story. It's a heady mix of old and new.

There's never a dull moment when watching. The pacing keeps up the thrills, while the action scenes always amaze in that unique Power Rangers way. There are some minor problems. The special should have been longer to give more time for the secondary rangers (especially for Adam and Aisha, and maybe shown more of Kat/Rocky in their civilian lives). The Megazord CGI could have done with a larger budget (It's stunningly beautiful in some places, but in some areas, I wish they had the budget for a physical suit). But there's so much breathtaking action, compelling storytelling, and delightful nostalgia, that it's hard to complain: You'll be thoroughly entertained throughout! A definite must-see! I sincerely hope Hasbro/Netflix turn this into a season. It's just too good to be a one-shot standalone.… Expand

Nostalgia done right! Unlike other revivals that change everything, this remains faithful to the original show, keeping all the cheesy fun and even bringing back the original actors.

It was like back being in 1993! AND. I. LOVED. IT.

Story was superb, bursting with emotion and tension. The action was amazing, much better than the CGI heavy stuff you see in Marvel movies these days.

The 90s cheesy Power Rangers vibe was refreshing and it made a welcome change from other super hero flicks.

Granted, the Megazord CGI was dodgy, and some of the second gen characters need more screen time. But everything else was SO SO good, that I can let that pass.

This put a massive grin on my inner 90s kid.

Hungry for more!… Expand
