Saban's Power Rangers

I don't know why this movie scored so low with critics - this movie is one of the best this year. Their reviews are actually a little schizophrenic. Many of the critics score down because there "wasn't enough power rangers action" and that it wasn't as "explosive" as other summer blockbusters. Take a look at some of their reviews of other summer blockbuster movies and they groan over "too many explosions" and "tired super-hero formulas". Power Rangers shakes up the super-hero formula here by focusing on the 5 main characters and really building their story throughout most of the movie. If you are expecting this to be a traditional superhero movie where there's explosions to your left and large exposition dumps to your right, you'll be disappointed. Just going to breakdown a few highlights of what I love most about the movie: *Gritty opening, giving a little set up but not overstaying its welcome *The score - the musical overture throughout the movie is fun, prominent, and memorable *The characters - the movie actually takes time to let us get to know and care about all 5 teenagers before putting them in an incredible superhero role *The authentic high-school setting - I was impressed by these little moments of authentic reactions and behaviors that some of the background characters displayed which reminded me of how actual highschool kids would behave. There are some tropes, sure, but there are some genuine reactions there which is refreshing *Two major surprises - I'm not referring to 'twists', necessarily. I'm talking about two major moments in the movie where I thought I knew what was going to happen a mile away and the movie just flipped the script and genuinely surprised me. That's very hard to do. If you like superhero movies, and were still on the fence about this one, definitely give it a chance. This movie was marketing horribly. The commercials really don't do the movie any justice. It's a really solid film filled with a lot of heart, great humor, and fun action.

I enjoyed this movie immensely. I was already into my late 20's when Power rangers first appeared and was not a big fan. This movie may not be cannon for the true fans, but I think it was very well done and a great movie. I have watched it at least four times and would watch it more. In fact as I write this, I may just feel the desire to watch it again it is that good of a movie to just watch over and over.

As an original 90's kid who grew up with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, I was as enthralled with this strange new action show using cheesy Japanese footage spliced with an original American plot. As a kid I didn't need to, nor was I able to grasp the concept of marketing, all I knew was that the Power Rangers were awesome! Watching this movie now brings me a wave of nostalgia for the childhood I loved but, surprisingly, is a much more relatable story. Jason, Kimberly, Trini, Zack and Billy were blatant stereotypes of high school archetypes, they were the cool kids, the do-gooders who were always perfect and never failed at what they did. Only as an adult watching the show again did I realize that they were nothing like me or my friends. We were outcasts, lonely, artists who were picked on by the Bulk and Skulls of the world, even though they actually seemed more like my friends now, lol. We weren't the cool kids or the achievers and little did I realize as kid how unattainable that level of perfection was until now. This generation of Power Rangers, a fallen sports star, a trendy girl who made a mistake on social media, an awkward savant on the spectrum et, al, are much more grounded characters with real flaws and real heart. In many ways they are the anti Power Rangers, representing the opposite of my childhood idols and yet still exemplifying their best attributes at the same time. They fight, they struggle, they laugh together and ultimately realize that despite their unusual circumstances they are wiling to sacrifice for each other for a cause greater than their own self interest. This is a new Power Rangers for a new generation and I am so happy that this movie exists and speaks to those kids, those outcasts and awkward socially anxious teens who can grow up with the kind of representation my generation never had. The story is simple but surprisingly original considering the horrible source material that was literally pieced together from archival Japanese footage from a show that had an entirely different dynamic and sensibility than American audiences were ready to accept. They did what they could with what they had at the time, but this movie succeeds in so many ways where the show had failed. Super fans may gripe about how Rita didn't emerge from a space dumpster on the moon, or that there's no Squat or Baboon, or Finster who makes nonsensical monsters out of clay, yes that's what happened on the show, or even that the black ranger isn't black and the yellow ranger isn't Asian. The 90's weren't the most politically correct time in history, but we were doing the best we could, so the new Power Rangers brings the core tenet of my beloved childhood show and modernizes it in the best way. Somehow it managed to work in nods to the show, even a pair of familiar cameos, without ramping up the cheeze factor. The go go power rangers theme song sprinkled into the zord fight was a genuine smile moment for me, but between the character dynamics, the action and FX Power Rangers 2017 is the PR movie I've been waiting my entire childhood for. May the power be with you.

Esta es la versión americana de la película, pero cuenta con el doblaje y subtítulos latinos, lo cual la hace muy recomendable, pues la versión mexicana trae un audio de calidad un poco inferior a esta, además de los extras y un slip cover que brilla en varios colores.

Bought this because of the old tv show and also because I have the original first tow movies and was kind of hesitant at first about purchasing it but I just had one of those moments where I said Bryan Cranston stars in it how bad can it be, and I liked it so much I had to watch it again afterward and upon this review may have to watch it again as well as the other two original movies, may have to order the complete series in the future

Won’t play on our dvd player
