I grew up watching various season reruns on my local kids network. So when it was announced that the teenagers with attitude were getting a modern big screen film, I was thrilled! After watching it...I liked it. I didn't love it, but I liked it. RJ Cyler's performance as Billy steals the show for me. He represents the first Autistic ranger, which marks another amazing step for representation in Power Rangers. The other rangers are good as well, but not as outstanding as Billy. Overall, a great nostalgia filled adventure! Expand

I loved this movie. It balances cheesy nostalgia with mature character development and modern visuals. There's a lot to love here if you watched the show as a kid. It's basically Breakfast Club plus Transformers, and it's awesome for it.

The result was more tears than I could count, A ton of laughter and excitement that I could not explain about a cheesy TV show becoming a movie. I’ve seen so many people in the reviews complain about how long it took to reveal them as power rangers. The fact of the matter is that build up was absolutely necessary and very well done. Billy as the blue ranger was the star of the show. Overall I think this movie deserves way more credit. A sequel is absolutely necessary. Expand

Tries Too Hard
This adaptation of Power Rangers has a great cast and decent special effects, But it’s plot is trying too hard to replicate the success of 2007’s Transformers, 2014’s Godzilla, And The MCU.

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.

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.

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

Los cinco tienen su momento, su historia y su personalidad bien desarrollada. El rojo y la rosa son los comunes (deportista conflictivo y la popular solitaria), el resto son nuevos en relación a lo anterior visto y son muy agradables.
Las escenas de acción y la pelea final son muy buenas, pero demasiado cortas, hay más momentos de charla que acción siendo una historia de los Rangers, pero era bastante obvio teniendo en cuenta que es la primer entrega.
La historia es bastante mala, si bien tiene un desarrollo que tiene sentido la vida familiar de cada personaje está PÉSIMAMENTE desarrollada, escapándose de casa (o peleando dentro de ella) sin que sus padres, a quienes presentan como muy sobre protectores e interesados por sus hijos, se den cuenta. Es bastante predecible y más si veías la serie, pero era de esperarse y no molesta en la trama.
Creo que se ajusta muy bien a las expectativas de una primer película, cuenta orígenes y por ende hay poca acción y mucho desarrollo. Espero que la próxima si logre superar las expectativas que esta no pudo.

The child actors actually put in some very good performances and have excellent chemistry with each other, and while cheesy at times, the dialogue is decent too. However, like most action movies, it does have some issues. The ending was a bit dissapointing for me, it just felt as there was no build up to it, and the villian is not fleshed out at all. The CGI is ok, but there were slight issues with the quality. In short, this movie has a good plot, good characters and is definetly worth a watch, and is overall just a good time, but nothing special. Expand

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.

Now the pros: the characters are the main attraction of this film and thanks to the chemistry of its actors, you're left wanting to see more. The CGI is not amazing but it is quite good and credible. The film is entertaining and with gags that work. The fan will come out happy that's for sure. Expand

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.

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.

You will hate this film because everything that makes you hate it is present and accounted for. But for those in the middle, this is an INCREDIBLY earnest love letter to the concepts behind the Power Rangers series. Do you groan at emotions and the power of friendship? You’ll hate this film. But if that stuff resonates with you, you will be as deeply sucked into this film as I was. Friendship, loyalty, leadership and selflessness are on full display with no winking or apologizing like other superb films feel they need to. This is a new classic in the same vein as the 80s TMNT film. Expand

Moments of genuine fun as well as decent character development are few and far in between in ‘Saban’s Power Rangers”. The film’s quality is undercut by a cheesy villain, a predictable plot, and poor writing.

Substantial Opulence & Thin Tangibility

It's clear that with the passing of the years our sphere is transfigured and our outlook on life is attached with the presented updates. The 1990s supposed a range of cinematographic parables and personalities with mere budgetary intentions, however, these products built infancy and youth of men and women with a mixture of eyewash and absurdity dressed up in laughable clothes. In simultaneous, these ones established the foundations of contemporary pop-culture by means of certain patterns and artistic commercial manifestations. Haim Saban created, set up and distributed a show intended for young audiences with the verbose title "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers", a series won an incredible success not only in English speaking countries but around the world, achieving the status of popular icon. Later, there were two more rounds of episodes and two audiovisual productions inciting the fervent appreciation for the the quintet of teens who fought in Japan but resided in the United States. Today, Dean Israelite presents the third in the franchise, which is an installment that feeds American leisure to create modernizations of films which generated a determined impact in past ages, only this time, curiously, the process is reversed: The 2017 graphics aren't the most important renovation in the story are the treatment and conception of the coming-of-age characters which stand out on screen, where action/adventure sequences, by which the most avid spectators attended movie theaters.

First and foremost, the weight of transforming a visually cartoonish concept into an interesting and coherent plot falls on screenwriter John Gatins. Gatins doesn't shake off giving stereotyped profiles to the leading roles, but he gets rid of showing them in a methodical and jerky way, he provides sketched characters to the indicated interpreters, in addition, keeps a surprising fidelity leaving intact the basic components. It's a shame that this fierce and warlike harmony of introduction isn't injected into all the feature film.

Second, the film falls on the shoulders of Dean Israelite, not very frequented filmmaker to direct a blockbuster of that caliber, but he's an expert executing a carefree tone. Perhaps, Lionsgate made this signing as an incentive, in order to the director, provides part of tone and form of the story of travels through time to the idea. It's clear, Israelite doesn't possess the required acuity to express with panache and subtlety the key action sequences, therefore, he prioritizes the characters, which is an appropriate determination. However, when you're responsible for carrying out a mega-production, you must lead every minimum job with a successful tact. Abrupt pace changes in certain scenes, hand-held shots, and fast cuts make it intelligible and unenjoyable what should be enjoyable; the visual effects are decent and the new designs of the costumes, the Zords, and the Megazords aren't entirely bad.

Last but not least, it's the heterogeneous casting. Israelite and his the crew took their time to find the favorable actors, and they found them. They opted, thank goodness, not to select a rubicund stereotyped woman or American husky heartthrob, the chosen ones are facing favorably unknown, unknown but with many talents to explore. Dacre Montgomery, Naomi Scott, RJ Cyler, Ludi Lin and Becky G. are officially the new Power Rangers, those that could be the popular icons of the post-millennium generation, although it's an uncertain future, with Marvel and DC monopolizing the sector at present.In addition to the newcomers and their laborious performances, it's only two great stars are meddled within the novice cast: Elizabeth Banks, trying to replace the new Teffie from "The Hunger Games" and Bryan Cranston, who runs a fascinating prolog but a bittersweet appearance on a wall.

Everyone feared with what Dean Israelite could do, who could destroy a franchise and a pop icon in pieces with the fire of his ambitions or could expand the radar and get a handful of fans who support the invention of more adventures with Saban's team. The director is placed in the middle of the bifurcation. Visually, it doesn't take advantage of all its possibilities, being severely affected by the dizzying frenzied scenes, however, we can affirm that the area of characters is as well sketched as presented, successfully introduced, opening the door to a couple of doses more of Morphin' Time. With two unforgettable scenes and the interesting new Rangers, Dean Israeli's "Power Ranges" isn't the hollow popcorn movie we expected, however, it's not what we weren't looking forward to; a super production that falls in certain details with what failed in "Fox's F4ntastic" in 2015, but surprisingly gives the protagonism to those who really belong it, the heroes.

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.

"Power Rangers" is not a great movie per say, but it impressively times the take to flesh out its charming characters (who all have infectious chemistry with one another) prior to the CGI-fueled, albeit fun finale that fans of the brand paid to see.

Me vi Power Rangers 2017 de Saban....

¿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.

I mean, this rating is mostly due to nostalgia. Because i have to say it has issues. The pacing in the start was all wrong, too rushed in my opinion, think they had to spend more time outlining their growth in friendship, they tried making in one scene talking about it, instead of showing us, so more friendship growth and less training montage. But it was fun to watch, specially the 3rd act. When they finally morphed it was like a was 8 years old again. I really enjoyed their fights and the costume design.

One that is modernized to allow today's youth to connect with these characters in ways they just can't with old team. The results are pretty fun and funny, it's not hard to notice how uneven the movie can be at times.

The movie is essentially a story about friendship. I liked how each character comes from a different background and all feel out of place in their own ways. It makes it mean something when they finally come together and find friendship and power in one another. It's actually pretty touching. The further diversification of the team by including a homosexual member and one who is on the spectrum fit in well with these more modern times and are much appreciated, even if the latter is a questionably handled at times. Red Ranger gets most of the spotlight, but I felt the other team members were given adequate attention. I want to see more given to them in the sequel(s) though. Particularly Yellow Ranger, who gets less screen time than the rest of the crew, despite being arguably the most interesting.

The movie's sense of humor is a big treat. The jokes are pretty scattershot and cover a wide range of topics, but they almost always hit their mark. Serving to ease the mood. The movie can get surprisingly serious and maybe even a little dark here and there. These characters are meant to be portrayed as real kids with real problems. The trials and tribulations they go through in their personal lives serve to make the character's deeper, even if Red Ranger's is just "my dad doesn't understand me or my angst." A pretty stereotypical problem for teens in movies. The other characters get more serious problems though. Things like loss of family and hurtful things people have done to friends add more depth to the experience. There's some stuff here that will really hit home with today's youth.

While the characters are pretty excellent, the same can't be said for the plot. For starters, it drags on for too long as the characters try to discover their powers. They spend too long being led around by Zordon, which delays the conflict with boring training montages and ultimately hurts the movie. Rita Repulsa is also never given enough characterization to be anything more than a bland face for the Rangers to punch so that there's actual action in the movie. It's a common complaint nowadays how lame and ultimately nonthreatening superhero movie villains have become. They all tend to follow he same plan and pose no real threat to the heroes or their world. Rita Repulsa is treated no differently in terms to goals and threat levels, but ends up being so much weaker than any villain Marvel, FOX, or DC has put on the big-screen lately. The character just isn't given much of a presence despite a suitable campy performance from Elizabeth Banks.

The action and editing don't fare much better either I'm afraid. The movie has a kind of choppy way of transition scenes. One that makes it clear where excess footage was cut. The big battle in the film falls flat thanks to subpar CGI and an over-reliance on Transformers-esque explosions and giant robots. There's just no flash or excitement to watching the Rangers fight. A big shame given that this the freaking Power Rangers. We should be here to watch them kick butt. Strangely I was more entertained by their personal troubles and budding group friendship.

As a superhero movie it falls flat. Luckily, there's a solid teen-drama going in here with good characters and modern heartbreaks for them to overcome. The movie has a surprising ability to tug on the old heartstrings. I mean who doesn't root for the outcasts at the movies? I really think this movie has the ability to touch some of these kids out here. You might even have some fun seeing them become Power Rangers along the way.

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.

What makes this film good is the breakfast club-style approach to developing the characters. It's not the most in depth thing you have ever seen, but they all develop nicely and you end up liking all of them by the end.

The movie has some real flaws though. First, the movie's pacing is a bit off. There isn't much flow for the first act, it just kind of stumbles scene to scene and really rushes through everything. Along with that, there could have been another scene or two with the kids and their respective families. There are two families I'm thinking of in particular (red and yellow ranger) as I think it would have added more depth to the film. Secondly, the movie is a bit light on action for the first two acts. I think in one of the montages they could have shown a bit more action, give us an idea of how their training gradually improved. This last complaint is small, but I think the main enemies looked a bit silly (not nearly as silly as Suicide Squad's enemies though). The main villain is also very bare bones.

Overall, it was a really good movie, though one that was a bit rushed and could have used some more polishing.

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

Elizabeth Banks as Rita and the guy who played the blue ranger were especially good in this film.

If this film doesn't end up getting a sequel, it'll be a great shame. I feel like critics unnecessarily slamming this movie hurt it at the box office. Definitely worth the watch.

To me Power Rangers should feel a bit silly and the story should be simple like the originals, not all movies need a complicated plot like Star Wars or Marvel. Power Rangers should be three things: Team work, beating Minions and MegaZord, which the film did deliver. And the poeple complaining about Teeagers whining, IT IS what teenagers do, and trust me it would be worse if the teeagers were giving out speaches and philosophies about life. Some of the actors do need more experience and the story do have it's downsides. I do want to state that I didn't really enjoy the Rita actress' performance and that did drop my points for the movie a bit, but over all I am satisfied for it being a Power Ranger reboot.

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.

The reboot isn't as cheese as the source material, but contains the most significant elements. The acting was quite good the fighting scene were decent. I liked they used further elements of the show as inspiration for plot devices. And I was glad to hear the iconic Phrases and the Themesong. A very good decision was to cut the quantity down to certain special moments for us Fan Boys instead of using themk all the time like in the original show. Perhabs i am over stretching this, but the Productplacments-thing in it is so hilourious quirky and brutal, that i only can interpret it as a meta joke of the commercial chrakter for toys the original series has had back in the days. But there are some minor things I this like: There was a serious Lack of Martial Arts Education in the Origin Story. Jason as Footbal Quaterback make his charakter so stereotypish, that i feel a bit pity for him in comperison to the other leads. The second thing i disliked are the uninspired Stonevillians performing as Ritas basic minions. They look simply **** Overall I am satisfied with the reboot. There was enough respect for the franchise, the story featured all elements it needed and combines it with enjoyable plot. We see trainign we see the personality of the Rangers, we get a convincing bonding. There is no embaressing Moments. Rita is cheese, but still evil and hits the edge between beeing ridicoulous and creepy. It's not perfekt but way way way better then exspected and even not Power Rangers Fans can like it. 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not a hardcore fan of Power Rangers,but when i was 6-7 yrs old,i rarely watched the almost horrible 'Samurai' tv series. Now we're back with another movie that had me a bit worried,since last time was painful to watch. And it turned out to be that Power Rangers was a funny ride. Luckily enough,it doesn't try to be like the comicbook movies we have today,but instead,it tries to be an updated version of the generic superhero origin story. The plot was interesting and edgy,but i didn't expect to see some DC-like dark and creepy imagey (kinda like last time with GitS). Dacre Montgomery and the other 4 actors were surprisingly good and well done,same goes to Bill Hader as Alpha 5 and Bryan Cranston,but the only problem in acting is Elizabeth Banks. I wanted to laugh when Rita Repulsa showed up in some of the scenes,because we can clearly see that Banks was trying SO HARD to recreate her,even though it sadly ended in what seems like it came out from a comedy. The visual effects were impressive,but sometimes it was choppy. Not bad,but choppy. In the end,Power Rangers was an impressive movie with some generic fun action,some good acting,a promising story,and a subtl reference that will make this movie brobably better than the last M.Bay flick. (Not that i'm fanboying,but still.) Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I must admit that I went into this film expecting a Michael Bay'esque adaptation with some of the campiness of the original series. However, after leaving the theatre, I felt hopeful about this franchise. It reminds me a lot Pacific Rim where you know the plot is recycled and there are generic throwaway plot devices (like Rita and Goldar for example) but you leave the theatre reminiscing on some of the scenes and characters that tapped into your inner child's sense of wonder. In many ways then, this film works - it channels the original series' for old fans, welcomes new fans to the series and leaves you feeling slightly gratified that you got to see a giant robot backhand a baddie into space. 8/10 (but giving it a 10 to balance out the poorly written negative reviews).

Great film, and i think if this is not Power Ranger film, the negative reviews could be lesser.

This film spend most of the time focus on relationship, how the 5 rangers build their trust. This is very great, it makes the moment they morph more exciting. Currently super hero film mostly doesn't spend much time on relationship and emotional interpretation.

I like this so i give positive rating, but i can understand if there are any negative ratings too.

I believe most of the audience watch this film for childhood, and what make this film attractive is childhood too.
If i was a kid, when will i expect from this film? Yes, morph, i want to watch the character fight with armor, fight with giant robot.
So there is no surprising for this film getting so much negative review, we can't expect a child watch a film for "building relationship", they watch only for "Power Rangers".

I went into the Cinema with very, very low expectations (thanks to previous reviews I had read) and was more than surprised at how enjoyable this film is. In fact, I created my account on this website today, just to rate the movie. So many people are deciding that this film is a poor choice of entertainment before they even watch it and personally I believe this to be a great shame. Not for the sake of the film's profits but for the people denying themselves a generally great movie experience. I will concede that some parts of the film are cheesy/predictable but having watched Power Rangers extensively as a child, I never watched it expecting the emotional rollercoaster of Manchester By the Sea. At the end of the day Power Rangers is an adaptation of a kids show that had little to no story behind it. Here is a film that creates new, filled out characters that you genuinely care about mixed in with Chronicle-esc power usage and finally incredibly exciting action sequences. TLDR: If you go into the Cinema (Theatre) expecting a dark, angsty thriller, you will not enjoy this movie. If you go into the room *wanting* to see a terrible movie, you will have wasted your money. If you go and see this movie with the attitude of a 12 year-old kid flicking through the channels on his lounge's cathode-ray TV, you will *love* this movie.
Thank you for reading.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For once in a twenty-year-long (and expensive) barrage of costumed-hero trilogies, alliances and big versus-showdowns, we finally have a breather in something that is really quite serious, quite grown-up, and nowhere near childish.

Questions centered on CGI, special effects or the tech used in the film can be quickly answered with 'yes, yes, they are done well,' and 'oh, you will have an enjoyable ride, particularly in the third act, or the final 40 minutes,' and yet, people who go to see Power Rangers again may be doing it for more than just the armor and the zords. For once in a twenty-year-long (and expensive) barrage of costumed-hero trilogies, alliances and big versus-showdowns, we finally have a breather in something that is really quite serious, quite grown-up, and nowhere near childish.

Power Rangers points the camera at people, and admittedly, holds it there for a somewhat protracted period of time, but much good comes from it. Before this film, you will never imagine being privileged with the opportunity to actually feel for a Power Ranger character on a deep, existential level. These people begin to matter to you very quickly, and at no time during the movie are you made to feel that their stories are a receding tide written to be gotten over with – obligatory backstories conveniently swept away so that action can commence. Power Rangers has come into a league of its own, and the broad majority of entrants in the superhero genre will struggle to even remotely compare.

Comparisons will be made by some with the Warner Bros. picture that emerged several years ago – Pacific Rim – but there are important differences between the two movies. Pacific Rim is a robot movie oriented on giant monsters, with personal stories enmeshed in the script to serve as girding for a loud action movie. What Power Rangers has pulled off – and this is very surprising to say of a Power Rangers movie – is a coming-of-age introspective, almost arthouse-y piece of youth literature cataloging the stories of young people who face dark prospects in their own lives, but happen to come across robots and giant monsters. The literary direction of the Power Rangers movie is extraordinary, given how the formulaic comfort of hi-tech action over character development seems to be the go-to for much of the superhero fare churned out in recent years.

Power Rangers fills an important gap – the wish for characters that, outside their powers, resonate in empathic symphony with our own challenges, aspirations and fears, and when in their powers, retain a discernible humanity. The individual is not subsumed by the superhero power; the Ranger identity does not take over and does not render the person the mere flesh that lives underneath the garb. Even better, the Ranger power is not even an extension of the individual – as though the young adult him/herself wasn't enough and had to be given upgrades. It feels strange that we now look to a Power Rangers movie to remind ourselves that we do not have to become someone/something else in order to come into our own. To become powerful, we do not need to shed ourselves. Rather, we need to know ourselves, be ourselves and use that to our advantage. And when you rise powerful and confident, your self isn't eradicated. You are not lost. Those Ranger powers come from within these young people, and the gemstones they found were no more than conduits.

Power Rangers refrains from aggrandizing the role the machines have, or the fact that there is an otherworldly spacecraft, or the place the suits have in making the young men and women ready for combat. Like we said, the camera's eye stays on these troubled, unique individuals, and they are allowed to define the story and carry it all the way to the finish line. Indeed, the technological implements that occur in the film are treated so matter-of-factly, that they melt into the background of the narrative and become united into the fabric of the story itself: you are being given a chance to break out of debilitating despair – are you going to make good of it?

Power Rangers is a movie that lets you keep all of the film and have nothing to be ashamed of. Pick a T-shirt or an artefact attributable to any other superhero/giant robot movie, and you may find yourself wincing at the elements of hilarity that stick around and haunt that T-shirt, weapon or figurine. Power Rangers in its 2017 movie composure is a success for having ripped its way out of this paradigm to transcend it; and now, anything related to this movie comes with a tinge of forlornness borne of real struggles we can identify with. That such maturity arrives in our time on the saddle of a Power Rangers movie is astonishing in itself without thought for what other franchises should have done. And when you do think about the deluge of action vomit that has ruined the dignity of film in the last decade or two, you will find these Power Rangers to be a hearty godsend.

That being said, this movie does some things very well, it constructs its characters in more meaningful ways that most series of power rangers, and it makes them real teenagers for the most part (which is much more than the original series did). The suits even grew on me, and while the story doesn't necessarily works all in all, its goofy and maintains the general spirit of what makes the power rangers work. My main problems with the movie are: it doesn't seem sure to take itself serious or not in some parts, the megazord and "goldar" look pretty bad, some of the concepts seem to have a lot of explanation and none at all, and Bryan Cranston takes the role maybe a little too serious. With all of that said, I had fun, and that makes it a mission accomplished for this movie. If you like Power rangers, I recommend it, if you like dumb movies with fighting and the like, recommended, if you feel nostaligic about the 90s, recommended too. For anyone else, better skip it.
PS: Why they used the original song in only like 5 seconds? JUST WHY?

Having not watched Power Rangers when I was younger, I went into this movie with no preconceptions and no expectations regarding this film. I came out of this movie joyfully surprised. Quite obviously this film is not a masterpiece (in any sense of the word). However, it knows that it's not a masterpiece, and its true glory comes from its imminent self-awareness. The film strikes a nice blend of light-heartedness and seriousness, each making the other more significant. I typically am not invested in the characters of these sorts of films, but oddly enough I found myself truly caring about the Rangers' different character arcs (with one or two exceptions). This is undoubtedly due to the fact that the movie is really an origin tale, and understands with great focus the duties that it has to fulfill in setting up a new generation of Power Rangers. The high points of this film are the character arcs and interactions (especially between the male Rangers of the group)and the ease with which the film balances on line between being overly dramatic and overly goofy. Unlike so many films which try to do both and succeed at doing neither, this film includes both with a lightness of touch. If it sounds like I'm praising this movie to high heavens it is mostly because I wasn't expecting to be so entertained by it, and am still perplexed by what made it so enjoyable. The movie's writing isn't very good. The acting isn't phenomenal. The villain is underwhelming. And yet, the movie itself isn't stale. Somehow it is just the opposite.

If you went and saw this without loving Power Rangers as a youth I bet it was much harder to break out of your likely bad first impression of the show. Also its Power Rangers, if you were expecting the likes of a George Lucas film, you just had too high of expectations.

I'll admit, I'm looking through rose-tinted glasses, being a fan of the original Power Rangers when I was a kid. But even being a fan and being super excited to go see this movie, I prepared myself to turn off my brain and was cautiously optimistic of the movie. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this movie did with character development and with how they took their time making sure this team grew together in a way that felt natural. I fully expected that part of the movie to be shallow and rushed and expected them to get to the flashy stuff as soon as possible.

Once they laid all the ground work for the characters, they got down to business with the good guys fighting the bad guys in the final act of the movie. Now if you're a simple person like me who doesn't take themselves or movies too seriously, then all fighting and the climax at the end works well and turns out to be a lot of fun. If you're like most of the "professional" movie critics out there who don't know how to just enjoy something without picking it apart and being overly critical, then you may not be able to enjoy this movie.

All in all, I'd of course recommend this movie to Power Ranger fans. I'd also recommend it to anyone that enjoys a good superhero flick, because that's pretty much what this movie is at the end of the day. The movie developed it's characters well and in a way that makes sense, then brings them all together for some fun flashy action at the end. And of course, there's lots of little easter eggs/references lying around that'll make any previous fan of the Power Rangers giddy. I know I cheered a couple times while seeing this movie.

Go Go Power Rangers!!!

Not just nostalgia, but a good origin story and funny. Screw the crusty critics, watch and enjoy yourself!!

Took my GF who never watched Power Rangers growing up and she enjoyed it.

A film that doesn't consistently stay with the same tone, but overall this was a fun flick. The acting was all surprisingly well done. In the end the film is nothing special but if you are a fan of the material you should enjoy it.
