J'ai reconnu énormément de détail. N'étant pas un PureFan j'ai pu comprendre c'est déjà un bon point.
Ce film m’a aussi beaucoup fait penser à "Chronicles (2012)" que j'ai préféré à celui-ci pour son côté plus mature et sombre.
Ce Power Randgers est un bon film, mais on voit de loin arriver l'univers cinématographique qui laisse un gout amer (pas un film par Power rangers j'espère).
Nul doute ce film veut se faire une place au côté du DCU (DC Univers) et MCU (Marvel Cinematic Univers
Maintenant il leur reste plus qu'a avoir des effets spéciaux plus convaincants et peut être prendra-t-il la pente de l'ascension vers le sommet...
On ressent bien les mastodontes s'affronter MCU > DCU > PRU LOL

The movie is a remake done right; it stays true to its source material while adding enough new content to breathe life back into the franchise. Do not go into this expecting a fully serious toned movie. Though it does touch on some serious themes here and there, the film is ultimately still a power ranger’s movie. The director (Dean Israelite) does more right then wrong and has some good throw backs to the original series. I recommend this only to fans of the franchise and or younger audiences. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw this movie with one expectation: to relive the glory years of playing with my Red and Black Ranger action-figures. On that account, it delivered. From the opening sequence where we see Zordon's last stand against Rita's rogue Green Ranger, I was enthralled. Now, after that beginning it would be a while until I saw another Ranger outfit, but where this movie really nails it for me, is its' treatment of the characters. Jason and Billy's introduction via a confrontation with a bully was heartwarming and palpable. This movie takes more time than other franchise blockbusters to build and develop characters and their relationships. Sure, it's cheesy and after-school special territory 80% of the time but that is true to both the tone and charm of the American 90's iteration of Power Rangers. My biggest gripe is not actually the pacing or the length, merely the proportion of the film's plot. It takes a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time for the team of five to morph. Their difficulty in doing so as a plot device drags the film down a tad, but at all times what is a delight is the chemistry between all five teen characters. I loved Zack and Billy, and that adoration took me racing back to when my siblings and I would argue over who our favorites were. Another criticism is that upon morphing and many training montages, the climax doesn't deliver on the martial arts. Power Rangers was never Into the Badlands but it felt undercooked for there to be anticipation to when they morphed which was never resolved as after a quick kick, punch and jump, they're in the Zords and they stay there for the rest of the film. That said, a fun journey which doesn't deliver anything new on the origins story but will deliver for any kid or kid at heart - what it lacks it makes up for with charm and there's enough fan service and moments of heart, humor and spectacle, with some actual dramatic depth, to satisfy anybody who's curious. Bring on Lord Zedd for the sequel! Expand

Krispy Kreme’s Power Rangers is the latest franchise to receive the ‘dark and gritty’ reboot treatment.

Following the same basic structure of the 90's Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers TV show, the film follows five teenagers from the small town
Krispy Kreme’s Power Rangers is the latest franchise to receive the ‘dark and gritty’ reboot treatment.

Following the same basic structure of the 90's Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers TV show, the film follows five teenagers from the small town of Angel Grove as they discover five coloured ‘power coins’ as well as an exposition wall called Zordon played by Bryan Cranston.

The biggest issue with this new interpretation is that magic word that a lot of big studios seem to be struggling with these days: tone.

Throughout the movie the script and the young cast push hard to bring a grounded, dramatic reality to the characters themselves. Each of the Rangers is going through some personal trauma or identity crisis which vary in relevance and impact. Meanwhile Elizabeth Banks is having a great time as Rita Repulsa, cackling away in true OTT tribute to the original show.

Unfortunately the film never fully embraces either of these contrasting tones. At times the script makes some surprisingly relevant points about being a teenager in 2017 (at least I think it does, I’m about 10 years outside of that demographic) but this is immediately undermined by a over the top scene of crashing Zords and singing nuns.

The result is a film that aims for two distinct audiences, it wants to introduce a new generation to an old franchise and play on the nostalgia and affection of those who (like myself) grew up with the original show. At one point we even get a brief stab of the old theme tune, lyrics and all, before the filmmakers panic — ‘we’re losing the kids! quick put Kayne on, kids like Kayne right?’

This contrast of old and new is an incredibly hard balance to strike and I think the only film in recent memory to have pulled the juggling act off successfully is Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Now I’m not saying either approach is better or worse and Power Rangers certainly has its moments. The five newcomers genuinely give great performances (R.J. Cyler’s Billy is a particular highlight) and the script gives them plenty of relevant, real world issues to deal with. Simultaneously there are moments of pure joy and nostalgia littered throughout, and the final act of the movie fully embraces the silliness of the core concept.

The pacing of the film however is also a major issue. I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say that the suited up Power Rangers are saved until very late in the day to make their appearance. The vast majority of the run-time is dedicated to the teenagers earning the ability to morph into the Rangers themselves. In this core conceit is another contradiction that will no doubt frustrate nostalgia fans who are hoping for two hours of colourful punching and gymnastics.

From a character point of view I completely get this — you cant just give a kid a magic coin and then he/she becomes a superhero with little to no effort, they have to earn it through ‘the power of teamwork’. From an entertainment point of view however, I did find myself asking WHERE ARE MY GODDAMN POWER RANGERS?

With this new interpretation director Dean Israelite and Saban have hedged their bets leaving us with a final product that is for everyone and no-one at the same time. The slow place and dark colour pallet (the film looks way too much like a Zack Synder DC film at times) will frustrate old school fans and runs the risk of boring younger audiences.

While its not without its charms this first entry into a potential new franchise is off to a shaky start. Here’s hoping that a sequel can capitalize on the character groundwork laid here and fully embrace its more over the top heritage.

While at this point I enjoy the slightly less budget restricted source material Super Sentai, the Super Sentai concept was honestly a rather untapped resource for Hollywood, with the only real previous attempts being the two previous Power Rangers movies, both of which had serious problems. Namely the fact that they really aren't that good. So does this movie improve on the previous two attempts at making a cinematic Power Rangers movie? Yes, and no. This movie does do one thing right, and that is assume that the viewer has no knowledge of the source material, and frames the movie as an origin story. I like this as it allows you to get acquainted with the characters, which are done okay. It could have been better, but I have certainly seen far worse. I was not a fan of the Transformers style of CG going into this movie and after seeing it, I haven't changed my mind. One of the biggest issues I have with this film is that it seems like the producers saw the gritty Power Rangers fan film and decided that this was the direction the Hollywood film needed to go.


The entire point of that fan film was to parody the Hollywood dark gritty reboot, and Saban seemed to have missed the joke. Rita Repulsa is honestly forgettable as a villain in the way the character was written. For all the problems that the 1995 Power Rangers movie had, they, at the very least, executed on creating a memorable Villain. And while Ivan Ooze's one liners are incredibly corny, they are at least memorable and give a sense of the character. It's painful to me that the very forced Krispy Kreme advertising in the movie is more memorable that Rita herself. Should you see this movie? I think you probably should as it isn't a bad movie. The problem is that the movie isn't good either. It's painfully average, and that is really a shame.

That’s why this feels so much like the Breakfast Club because it’s this group of people who would never hang out be brought together and see they are more alike then they think. I couldn’t believe the time the film gave to the development of these characters and how relatable they are. Since this movie hinges on how good these characters are I am happy they gave an amazing update that I always wanted to see. These characters feel way more realistic than the perfect role model characters of the original show. The best parts of this movie come from the scenes where the characters are just sitting with each other and becoming closer as a team.

Now, this movie is an amazing Power Rangers movie but it has very noticeable flaws that brought it down a couple notches for me. First, Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa was something that brought this movie down. The tone that this movies sets up is totally contradicted by Banks’ betrayal of the character. While she does a fine job, she goes over-the-top, old-school Power Rangers acting with Rita and hurts the tone of the film. You see all of these other actors giving their all and committing to a more serious tone, but Rita is going over-the-top and confused me throughout her whole time on screen. Now this isn’t saying she’s bad, but I would’ve rather seen the movie either give me all out cheesy like the show or go the serious route and betray Rita like a real-life villain that wasn’t like the old show. Rita was a suitable villain for the movie but could confuse the audience in terms of the tone of the movie.

So, Power Rangers isn’t a perfect movie and has very noticeable flaws. But, if you look back at the source material this movie gives a great update to the beloved franchise. The conflicting tones set by characters can be overlooked with how well the source material was handled. You clearly see they were trying to make a movie and not just a cash grab by fans of the source material. So, while this movie has very noticeable flaws, if you walk into this movie knowing that it is just a Power Rangers movie you will walk out entertained and happy with the movie. Without a doubt, this is the best representation of the Power Rangers we have ever in a cheesy, Breakfast Club like, movie.

The power of Cadbury Gems!

It was one of those films known that it would fail even before being made. I've rated the rebooted 'Fantastic Four' better than this. I am not a 'Power Rangers' fan, but I was looking forward to it. Expected to be a decent, not this low. The major issue with the film was the story. What the heck! All the superhero films have this same platform. That's really boring. Even that's how the real 'Power Rangers' is, does not matter, it should have been re-wrote completely. Just like they had updated the costumes from cloths to metal armours.

As usual, the actors are not to be blamed. Those young guys did good. Direction, not bad too. The graphic, nothing new or that impressive. If we observe closely all the CGI shot, they do not look fine, especially if you know all this stuff like an animator or something. The villain was weak. But the entire film was like just an introduction. They had held up everything till the last quarters to bring all together and make a massive stand off between the good and the bad.

Maybe it could work for kids. Those who liked Marvel and DC superhero films would only find it a trash. The best thing about the film is, it is watchable, despite everything are familiar and predictable. I'm not in favour of a sequel, but surely they will make one. And that's result would decide the franchise's future, which I think has a slim chance against those superhero films that already bagged the large sum of fans to its pocket. As I said, the remaining one are children, who are upcoming generation. So if the filmmakers target them, even the adults would sit quiet and watch without whining.

4/10

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sincerely, i don't know what i was expecting from this movie...

The TV Show itself was pretty much bad, even so i watched because i was a kid. And just for NOSTALGIA i decided to watch this movie.

Well, the review isn't hard: A very rushed history, the script looks like didn't had a revision, horrible actors, outdated SFX, terrible jokes and a complete absence of catchy characters.

The plot of the movie ins't so bad and connects with the history of the Power Ragers franchise, even adds some really interesting points on the history. But the fact of the history being told so quick and so rushed, make the movie somehow senseless in several times, from the start to the end of the movie.

The only good points of this movie were: Some action scenes and the fact that the movie plot connects perfectly with the franchise history (as told before).

Overwall, a pretty bad movie.

¿En serio que catalogaron a esta pelicula de buena?

El cancer aquí son los personajes, junto a unos efectos visuales amateurs y mucha escenas de exposición innecesarias, solamente con la excusa que no pueden usar su traje por que ninguno de los protagonistas se conocen (personajes bastantes estereotipados y predecibles de paso), y asi no hacer tantos efectos con tan poco presupuesto que tenían en este proyecto. Y muchos decían que se emocionaron al escuchar el tema original de los Power Rangers...lo cual solo duro 4 segundos....y ustedes se emocionan por eso....si son precoses.

Solo vere su secuela, si es que mejoran los aspectos que ya critique, y hagan una buena introducción al Ranger verde y blanco.

Si quieren ver buenos mechas y rangers, vean la serie de Netflix de Voltron el legendario defensor.

Chopped, cut, pasted, and slapped together by a committee of folks studying the latest results from a test screening, Dean Israelite's take on Power Rangers is everything a Power Rangers film should be. It is still rather bad, but it is funChopped, cut, pasted, and slapped together by a committee of folks studying the latest results from a test screening, Dean Israelite's take on Power Rangers is everything a Power Rangers film should be. It is still rather bad, but it is fun with a child-like silliness that lets the audience know the events of the film are hardly serious. I mean, hell, how serious can one expect a film about a villain named Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks) and her plans to create a monster out of gold named Goldar to dig out a crystal that gives life to Earth, which happens to be hidden under a Krispy Kreme? Power Rangers is dumb and poorly written, but is somehow fun to watch in a really immature way. Fortunately, that is exactly what Power Rangers always was since it was first created.

The first act and beginning of the second act is really where the film has most of its fun as the rangers meet for the first time, beginning bonding, and getting to know one another. While it can be a bit cheesy and silly at times, the scenes of them bonding instill the film with this great light and goofy edge that keeps the proceedings moving ahead with a chaotic energy. None of these moments are particularly revolutionary, but they are greatly endearing to the titular heroes and allows the audience to really get a hold on all of the characters and their backgrounds. By the time they begin to discover they have new superpowers, Power Rangers manages to show great constraint. Initially, the kids are just shocked and slowly realize what powers they have. With a fun scene where they all put their colored coins on a table at the lunch line which causes all lunches to explode due to the power in the coins, the film keeps its fun energy going and avoids exposition at the very onset of their power. The film instead shows us some of the neat tricks, the strength they have, and laces the film itself with some decent mystery as to what is going on with these kids.

Unfortunately, this all ends when they find the spaceship with hologram Zordon (Bryan Cranston) and the robot Alpha 5 (Bill Hader). Ignoring the fact that Alpha 5 literally cannot shut up, the film rapidly turns into an exposition machine as Zordon explains who Rita Repulsa is, what she wants, what they means for the Earth, and what she did to his team. The dialogue also gets appallingly on-the-nose at this point. For example, Zordon sends the kids to train in the pit. The film then cuts to Alpha 5 walking into the pit and saying, "So, this is the pit." This horror continues with on-the-nose exposition-filled dialogue throughout the film. Scenes of the kids just coming out and explaining their inner feelings and Rita Repulsa never beating around the bush and always taking the time to remind Goldar she wants to find the crystal under Krispy Kreme. Where the film is not on-the-nose, it becomes annoyingly dense. Acting like a child who has a secret that everybody knows but they continue to pretend nobody knows, Power Rangers tries to build to the rangers morphing by making it a mystery as to how it is achieved. When Billy (RJ Cyler) briefy morphs when defending his friends, the entire crew acts shocked and asks him how he morphed. For the next few scenes, this charade continues with far too many lines of dialogue able to be summed up as, "Woah dude how did you do that? We have the figure out how to morph." By the time the film reaches its sentimental and sappy moments of the rangers swearing they would die for each other, the film has reached its absolute peak of annoyance. Had the film just let the kids morph far sooner, the film could have been shorter, yet it instead opts to obnoxiously beat around the bush and pretend the audience is too stupid to figure out the key to this "secret".

The final battle between the Power Rangers and Rita Repulsa is similarly horrifically written with the dialogue just highlighting exactly what will happen. Rita tells Goldar to push them into a pit, followed by Goldar pushing them into a pit. Jason (Dacre Montgomery) tells another ranger to throw a punch, so they throw a punch. It is team work, yes, but it is annoying. The film cannot help but tell us what is coming next by dedicating line-after-line to the exactly that pursuit. It is a film that trusts its audience so little that it feels the need to just let them know what is about to happen so they can brace themselves for it to happen. When the rangers fall in the aforementioned pit and come out as a single being, Rita Repulsa's reaction of, "How can they do that?!" is horrible and ignores the fact that she was once a ranger and is literally about to step inside Goldar in a similar way. The dialogue in this film feels written for a five-year-old and, as a by-product, it just feels lazy, mashed together, and just stilted. This is a film about a group of teenagers fighting a being called Rita Repulsa, yet the film feels the need to spoon-feed every bit of information to the audience.

I didn't care for the one-dimensional characters, I didn't care for the generic plot, nor did I care for anything that I should have cared about to begin with. 'Power Rangers' focuses on five teenage misfits who find themselves possessing strange abilities as told by Zordon (Bryan Cranston) to try and stop Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks). All I'm going to say is this, if your movie, in 2017, has a villain whose name is "Rita Repulsa", take it about as seriously as you took the name "Victor Von Doom" in 2015 seriously. You pretty much know the basic plot, five teenagers discover that they are more than who they are, they try to make it work, it doesn't work the first time, but then it miraculously works, and they fight the villain and save the day. The end. Honestly, never have I cared less watching an action movie trying too hard to capitalize on the success of the modern Marvel, Star Trek and Star Wars blockbusters we see, today. If you loved "Power Rangers" as a kid, you'll probably like this enough, or like me, hate it. Expand

This is a terrible movie.

I wish I could like this movie, but honestly it's terrible. Everything about this movie has been terrible, from suits, casting, to zords. This isn't power rangers, this is a knock off.

The first 20 minutes are straight up breast cancer. The PR suits are terrible. The Music selection is weird like the Kanye West song at the end is so bad, not to mention the cast

An absolute turd of a movie. Not only is there some of the worst dialogue I have ever heard, it is also spectaculalrly dull.

Not only is there some of the worst dialogue I have ever heard, it is also spectaculalrly dull. Considering that the entire story is told in a short title sequence on the TV show it's unsurpring that it would be a challenge to stretch it out to a few hours. I wouldn't have minded a few hours of brainless action. Instead it's an hour and a half before they even morph into Power Rangers. On a final note, I thought the movie was tonally confusing. It begins with a joke that seems innaproriate for younger children but doesn't really ever seem to commit to aiming at young adults or anybody else either. Expand

I grew up with the original power rangers, and only really stopped watching it when the green ranger became the white ranger. I still have the first running of the first episode taped on VHS...

I still have the first running of the first episode taped on VHS... And I am going to go ahead and say it, as everyone is thinking it... Billy is supposed to be a white nerd/dork, not a black autistic person, where the actor has NO IDEA how autistic people act. The yellow ranger, is an Asian woman, not some white girl. Political correctness automatically warrants a 1 out of 10 from me! Also, not enough Power Rangers in a movie titled "POWER RANGERS"!!!! Expand

It is 90 minutes of emo teen depressing rubbish, then 30 minutes of a really sub-par Power Rangers episode. Making the Blue Ranger autistic just to push an agenda was a slap in the face. They put it in just to do it, and not for a real reason, which is hollow and just pandering. Do not waste your time on this. Expand

I watched the original power rangers when i was a kid, and i was hoping that it might have grown up, as I have. But no: it's a remake for kids, that has entirely cheesey dialogue and plot, that makes no logical sense. I coudln't take any moreI watched the original power rangers when i was a kid, and i was hoping that it might have grown up, as I have. But no: it's a remake for kids, that has entirely cheesey dialogue and plot, that makes no logical sense. I coudln't take any more after the first fight scene, and turned it off. Karatee kicking aliens to death is hard for me to watch now I'm not 7 years old. If five teenagers had to save the world, every one would be screwed. I gave it a 1 instead of a 0 because there was something engaging about the cheesey coming of age teenager high school drama, until they reached the spaceship, and it was all downhill from there really.

The positive reviews were clearly all written and posted by the cast and writers. This movie is terrible. Terrible pacing, terrible character development, terrible casting, terrible music and you might as well throw in a terrible origin story as well. Aliens from space? Who gives a crap. Rita is MURDERING people for gold to make a giant gold monster? Boring. I just wanted to see her and the yellow ranger scissor after that passionate scene in the bedroom, but instead I got bland performances, terrible costumes, terrible character designs, and some of the worst dialogue I've ever heard uttered in a film before. If you're a parent, take your kids to a movie that's ACTUALLY good and at the very least, DOESN'T start with a bestiality joke in the first 5 minutes of the film. This "Power Rangers" movie has a ten minute scene where some bad cgi fights a giant melting gold monster and some dumb looking piles of animated rocks. That's it. Save your money. Expand

If you liked this movie you were either paid off or have terrible taste in movies. I'd rather watch the movie from 20years ago. Max Landis should of got to make this instead of firing him and ripping of Chronicle which he wrote.

There is nothing redeemable about the universe that is created in this film, and it has nothing in common with the IP that it shamelessly destroys. The dialogue is terrible, the characters are bland and generic, the plot devices make absolutely no sense, and no one in the whole movie makes any reasonable decision under any circumstances. Any enjoyment that can be siphoned from the ten minutes of actual action at the end of the movie is immediately crushed by the sheer stupidity of every decision made by any character.

There is no amount of nostalgia that can save this train wreck. The pieces of 20-year-old Japanese TV show that were stitched together to make the original series were infinitely more cohesive than this frankly insulting disaster of a movie. I couldn't imagine a worse way to ruin the original Power Rangers than this trash.

The only thing I liked was the twin swords from the pterodactyl. The suite of armor and how they get them was stupid and no were how the should gained and they have power coins not some stupid rock.
