This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Don't Believe the Hype
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
As Zordon said, only find those who are worthy and strong. So I think the cast did a great job at portraying that with this modern updated storyline. I remember watching the original TV series when it first debut as I was just a kid then. I felt like the chemistry between all of them could have been a little more natural but in the end it's about being a team and only 2 hours doesn't do so much justice to that. I really hope to see what they do with the sequel.
This movie deserves a sequel , Its a movie that people can relate to on a whole new level . I liked how the director made it that way to make it more enjoyable . To all you haters , maybe next time don't watch it . Best Cast , so no reboot because i am not going to support it. Plz give us a sequel , there is a huge fan base !!!
Ok, so it's not the original kind of knew that coming in. I loved seeing a new group learn and etx. I liked Billy's character the beat and I even like Aplja . For people wanting something fast pace this is not that it honestly SIG's into the characters and makes a real story line. I was less that the gay character was very out spoken and etc not so much there is a scene where we speakers about it.but to be truthfull unless and they won't kids are deeply listing then they won't catch it. I really loved the darker feel of this and how the characters did not already know everything and had to learn unlike all the shows where they go all seem to already know how to fight and etc even though most od the power rangers shows not all they are pteenagers with no previous expirence. I did not like Gordon kind of annoying but other wise good movie . I think a second could be even better now that we know their back story's.
The 2017 Power Rangers film based off the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV show which in itself is based off the Japanese TV Series (Super Sentai) is a bit of a letdown to say the least. The film is partly inspired by the 2015 short film of the same name which was a gritty and dark retelling of the classic TV show. The 2017 version does start pretty similar to the 2015 with nearly all of the rangers getting killed off by Rita Repulsa with Zordon hiding the power crystals from Rita's grasp. This scene is then ruined by the next scene when our main hero (Jason later the Red Ranger) sneaks a cow into his school only to then realize it's a bull and then shows us (the audience) that yes this is indeed a bull by flashing the light at its genitals. The indecisive tone of this film is one of the many problems it has, in one moment it's trying to be serious but because it's aim towards kids as well as a PG-13 rating the seriousness of the scene is altered. Not only that but the Power Rangers are barely in the film, you only see glimpses of them until the climax of the film, most of the time we are focus on five teenagers whom stumble upon five glowing rocks things which will morph them into Power Rangers (once you get past the boring training montage). The only redeeming quality that this movie has is the cast, they do pretty well with what they are given however their backstories slow the film down to a snail's pace.It doesn't get any better once the five of the main protagonists become power rangers, as the next 20 minutes becomes a commercial for Krispy Kremes as Rita Repulsa is creating her giant monster made out of gold using a power crystal conveniently located underneath a Krispy Kremes store. I was struggling to hold back laughter hearing the rangers along with Repulsa repeatedly saying Krispy Kremes. You know this film is bad when the film becomes a commercial. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece when I watch this film at the cinemas last year but I was expected this to be at least entertaining. Say what you like about the Mighty Morphin TV show but at least that had more to do with Power Rangers then this film and also didn't become a stupid donut ad at the end. The film fails in every single way, from the confusing plot to the bad pacing to the clunky combat scenes. It's trying to appease to both Children and people like myself who use to enjoy the TV show, however I don't think anybody would enjoy it, as one Reviewer puts it "Too stupid for adults, to boring for kids." In conclusion if you're a fan of Power Rangers and want to see, watch the Mighty Morphin TV show it's dumb but it's charming unlike this which is forgettable.
