Mahh gawd, it's gotta be, it's gotta be the 6th Ranger, I mean Kane!!
Missed opportunity to cast Taylor Lautner as Tommy/ Green Ranger since he is a martial artist.
Honestly I asked you like the movie but I didn't watch it when I was in theaters cuz I couldn't at the time I didn't watch until it was on DVD it just really annoys me that people think it always compares it to the original stuff all the time when it's basically said it's not supposed to be the same it feels to be close but not perfectly the same it's supposed to be its own thing
Rita being the first Green Ranger makes sense why she had that Power Coin around which Tommy would later have it
There is a comic that explains why she has it and it’s pretty good but kinda dark
@@mrbrowniegod2580 I have those comics, it's good to be dark. It adds story and allows writers breathing room.
I feel bad for the mother though. In a sense, she was always with Rita until the very end.
Rita didn't have to be the green ranger to have the coin. Any of her minions, likely Goldar, could have simply beat Zordon or one of his allies to the coin, or ambushed them and took it. Her being the green ranger isn't the most logical answer when you think about original lore.
Ngl if they did a second one off this on that story line. Developed it, it would be mad. But no one could play Tommy. Only Jason David Frank ever could. His son on the other hand if looked young enough, I feel that would be the only way they could go. You couldn’t recast Tommy
@Samantha Ruvika Go Go Power Rangers #16
A very solid origin story. I loved that, although they were chosen by the coins, they had to EARN the honor and responsibility of being a Ranger. This film is a lot better than many give it credit for. Is it a cinematic masterpiece? Of course not. Is it a fun romp with some great characters? Every time.
The biggest complain is that they only get the suits at the ending, but that’s what makes it good, they had to earn being rangers and the journey they do to become the rangers was interesting
I'll never understand the hate for this movie. It is easily one of my favorite Power Rangers media ever created. The casting was great and I loved each of the rangers.
Exactly
It took too long for them to suit up, and took itself too seriously.
Not to mention a very inappropriate joke at one point
@@RB01.10The movie was aimed for young adults not kids
@@lifeofnature9172 Probably another reason it didn’t do well, as the director himself as gone on record regretting aiming for a PG-13 rating as compared to if it was only PG.
By making it PG-13, it very well could’ve turned many parents off from taking their young kids to it which is funny considering the show was meant for kids. Not to mention Marvel and DC films being PG-13 don’t deter parents and kids either from seeing them.
@@RB01.10 You have to inner stand that todays kids aren’t watching power rangers like they did back in early 90s to late 2000s the power rangers biggest audience in modern times are teenagers and young adults so they gotta create something that will appeal to a older crowd the power rangers we grew up with is a childrens show and kids now days aren’t watching so hasbro gotta appeal to the audience watching the show
I personally loved it. I shut my brain off, didn't compare it to the show and appreciated it for what it was. I wish we could've gotten sequels
Agreed! I loved it too. I don't deny a lot of the criticism this movie got, but much worse movies got to have sequels--even franchises. I would've loved for this premise and cast to have at least gotten a second chance!
Same. It's certainly not perfect but I enjoyed it a lot and I think it had scope for expansion in sequels.
Didnt you see the cutsence of tommy oilver but they couldn’t get tommy oilver edit: i loved not too much but i thinks its just perfect
I 100% agree
same! i mean, i was 6 at the time when watching this movie, but i still think the movie was really cool!
While I agree that the costumes were a mistake I did like the movie. Particularly the backstory of Zordon and Rita. Having them as the original red and green rangers was unexpected and enjoyable and could have led to some interesting scenes with those two. I also did like that the team had to learn from each other in order to bond as a unit :)
The learning to work together and each other’s differences was a minor plot point in the first few episodes of the show also. Rita being the green ranger made no sense as she used none of the powers, it was more like here is a twist but we’re not going to use it. Such a waste of potential
I saw this in theaters. With me growing up with the TV series, I went to the theaters expecting to walk out of the movie. Honestly I was surprised of how good the movie was for a reboot. I loved how they gave each character a back story. I loved the movie. I really hope they do a sequel
There was a sequel planned, but because the film didn’t make enough money they cancelled it
The cancelling of a sequel is so disappointing, I find myself watching this movie on the regular and actually get kinda bumbed watching the end credits scene knowing it's never going to happen even if they went the female Tommy Oliver rought that was being thrown around for a minute, I wanted to see what they did with the green with evil storyline!
Damn, I can't believe it's been already five years since this movie came out. I definitely liked the movie. I liked the more grounded tone, the more flawed version of the Rangers, Zordon and Rita being the original Red and Green Rangers, and even the look of the suits. It's a damn shame we never got a sequel, and I wished we got that instead of the 90s time travel movie idea that Hasbro is doing.
Going over the issues that the movie has…
The first issue that comes to mind is that thy tried to fit so much backstory in, with so little time. Yes, we need to know who the characters are. But the amount of backstories we got, each character should have gotten their own 30min episode. What we got was six backstories in 2hours.
The next issue was the redesign/reset. In the 90s Power Ranger movies, we still got the costume designs we recognized, music, the monsters, the characters and the Zords. Now yes, I know they hit the reset button for the 2017 movie and wanted a “new take”. But they made the same mistake that the anime industry made in the 80s to the mid-ish 90s… They tried to American EVERYTHING, and that wasn’t what fans want.
The people that went to see the movie was old school fans, and the current younger fans of the show. Trying to change everything to meet the Twitter and Hollywood check list is what killed the movie.
The pacing for the 2017 movie was also awful. It took ¾ of the runtime to get to the action and for the rangers to actually morph. The zord fight was also rushed and seemed to have a low budget for what we got.
The 1995 movie gave us a fighting scene in normal street clothes, a morphed fighting scene. Story break, fallowed up by another fighting scene. A mid boss fight scene in new clothes. Then a Zord fight scene where all the zords were shown with their own set of abilities. Then a Mega Zord fight.
I’m hoping the Hasbro take doesn’t kill Power Rangers, but build on it like the BOOM comics have. Not going to hold my breath, but I’m going to stay hopeful.
Personally as someone who enjoyed the movie , to me It felt , real , it felt like it had a lot of potential and storylines and mysteries and LEGACY , especially with the beginning battlefield scene , this was an okay introduction movie cuz it was supposed to be a multi-movie franchise , the problems they had were enough to be fixed in the upcoming movies , it was a nice blend of new school and a glimpse of old school , but upping the “hero” factor because to be honest the original series are A bit cheesy when you watch it from an adult point of view so what they did in 2017 felt like a huge contrast of tone , wish they would’ve given it a second chance , like a second movie , but people were too harsh on it in my opinion
Honestly, I completely disagree with you. I was the perfect age when the original show debuted and I loved the show. I went into this looking for something new. I had the original series, and have rewatched some of it over time, however, when I saw this movie I wanted something new, something that made it more modern and took it out of the cringe that I felt at rewatching the original series, and for me, this delivered in spades. I guess I'm in the minority in that I kinda liked the costume design and felt for all of the characters. I connected with all of them, unlike with the show where I only was able to connect with maybe 1 of the 5 or 6 rangers (depending on the timing in the show) and none of them really reflected me as a person. And I honestly don't care that it took most of the movie before they fully suited up because I personally felt the earned it instead of were gifted it.
I just...it's always bad when a film feels like every part of it is somehow ashamed of where it came from. The costumes and zords didn't want to look too much like the dinosaurs they were based on so they had to turn them into weird, cyborg xenomroph versions of the suits and the megazord and the like, the coins were turned into these glittering infinity gems without any of the personality that made all the weapons, vehicles and accessories fun. What was a kid supposed to get out of this movie when all the rangers look the same in different color and the mech looks like a melted army man covered in crayon?
The director just wanted to make Transformers.
Maybe part 2 was gonna introduce Zed as some kind of Thanos figure.
XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
@@TabooX1984 That's moving waaaay too fast. Besides what about Dark Spectre?
To be fair for the coins, they probably was also based somewhat on the dino gems from dino thunder.
@@disneyerapowerrangers2923 I think you give the makers of this film too much credit in assuming they were aware of any post MMPR seasons.
It just wasn’t good. I liked the character development but there was no action until the last 20 minutes! The film made the same mistake as the Turbo movie. They could’ve had them morph, fight putties, and learn to be a team throughout the movie. The Zord CGI looked bad and the suit design looked even worse. They all looked the same except for the differing colors. Fan designs on Instagram came up with better suit designs that stay closer to the show & Sentai design. This is another case of a big franchise film being made by people who don’t understand what makes it work.
Also, some the OG Ranger actors complained about the R-rated fan film but nobody said anything when the new Jason jerked off a bull. I was like WTH 🤦🏻♂️
Movie was pure gobbage
I personnaly really like their armors, because here it is what it is, armor to fight
Honestly, what they need to do is lean into the camp. And maybe look at other successful and fan-loved Hollywood adaptations of Japanese franchises and try and see what they did right. I'm talking Legendary Godzilla primarily. And maybe have the tone closer to another Hasbro movie the fans love. A Power Rangers movie closer in tone to Bumblebee would work perfectly.
To be honest, if I were to want a Power Rangers reboot that wasn't cannon to the main series, I'd have it be an anime, not only to honour the series' Japanese roots, but to also allow for further risks to be taken with the series that they weren't allowed to take before thanks to the Sentai footage, and Saban's babyproofing after school special nonsense that substantially handicapped the earlier seasons of the show. A PR anime would definitely be a cool thing to see when put in the right hands. In tone, it should aim to tell a dramatic story in the same vein as In Space and Time Force, but with a more mature feel that'll allow teens and young adults to get into the series as well.
Dude that's what Boom Studios has done with the comics. Check them out they're great. Perfect example of taking risks was the ranger slayer and her gravezord.
I honestly didn’t mind how the rangers looked in the reboot, obviously they went for a more alien look for the suits with how they are crystallizing around their bodies. Now would the movie be better if they brought over some Ranger iconography from the 90s show into the reboot? Yes, I would love to see that, but that is not what we really got here with the Ranger suits.
I feel like the story in this is a good Power Rangers story and I would love for some ideas that this film set up to be explored in other Power Ranger mediums. Like, a story of a Power Ranger being closeted and struggling to come out is interesting as well as for an Autistic Power Ranger. As an autistic person myself, I loved how they portrayed Billy in this with him being autistic. He’s a really good portrayed of someone with Autism and I really related to his character. I loved the fact that he was the first to morph and was the heart of the movie and the one that got the team to set aside their flaws to band together.
i dissappointed that theres no bulk and skull in 2017 movie
a power rangers movie need good comic relief
Having grown up with the original series I already knew I was going to see it. Took my little sister, who wasn't around for any of the Zordon era and the majority of the post era, with me and we enjoyed it for the most part. There are definitely some things I would've changed but the same can be said about most movies. The fact that it was different didn't really bother since as a comic fan I'm used to varying interpretations of characters.
So glad peeps r talking about this now.This was my first introduction to power rangers so it holds a special place in my heart.
I think the problem with the movie was that it got too crowded, wasn't good at conveying its ideas, but on top of that, it felt like it was too embarrassed to embrace the campiness from it's source material. Because of this, we get a film that's not only confused, but also bland, forgettable, and, at times, pretty boring. Does that make it one of the worst movies ever made? No. Honestly, I wouldn't even call it one of the worst superhero movies ever made. It has some cool action and good acting, but you always know where its loyalty lies: to franchise it. You can franchise a series fine, but you have to be committed to a good story and ideas first. And those simply aren't in this one. It's too bad. I really like the 2017 Power Ranger cast and would like to have seen where this series would have gone if they had gotten more competent writers behind it, as well as a studio that focused more on getting one film right instead of the next five. So... (sighs) despite it giving some good scenes, Power Rangers (2017) just wasn't very morphinominal. Let's hope Hasbro can do a better job.
Liam Nession should’ve played as Zordon. He has the type of voice that fits the role as a mentor.
Fun fact: Bryan Cranston who played Zordon in the 2017 movie actually had a long history doing voice for the Original Powe Rangers show (90). Haim saban named Billy Cranston after him.
Cranston was a good choice, they just wrote the character badly
5 years later and I still enjoy the flim 🎥 🎞 ! Still think R.J. Cyler should've got a nod for his portrayal of BILLY!
Marvel Studios manages to *please everyone* and it shows in the Box Office breakdown across demos. They manage to appeal to older audiences who grew up on the comics, and draw in new kid and family audiences as well. 👈⚡
As a stand-alone power rangers movie it was pretty good. The problem was that by having the character and place names be that of original mmpr it immediately raised everyone’s expectations. If they had wanted it to succeed they should have used it as a launching pad for a new series.
That being said, would really enjoy a more in depth look at this movie if you’re up for it
Loved it and definitely would have enjoyed seeing a sequel - there was so much more background story of the rangers that were left unexplored.
I find it kinda amusing that while they differed from the originals in origin, they had elements of Dino Thunder’s teens. It’s a break from Jason and crew, but a note that definitely works for Power Rangers. The two biggest writing misses, I felt, was a) not having anyone explain why the zords are a thing they use. Had a friend who wasn’t familiar, and was like “what is the point of the giant mechs?” B) kimberly’s story..doesn’t necessarily feel resolved? Hard to put into words, but something about it kinda feels dropped after Jason and her talk, and then has added weirdness when she laughs at them being scared in the end.
Honestly though…i kinda liked the suit designs? They were alien, and heavily based on their predecessors, and I think a cool detail would’ve been in the next film, if they kinda morphed to be closer to what we know due to the rangers’ thoughts or differences from Zordon’s team (i personally kinda found it a bit odd, reading Power Rangers Universe #2, when the masters helped pull energy from phantom ranger and it put them in more modern design suits). These are aliens that might not know as much about our dinosaurs, and i liked that they felt..alien due to that but with room to change.
From someone who is at the extreme opposite of your position on the suits and Zords. I find your take refreshing and your solution quite acceptable and reasonable and it also makes for a cool progression. That these suits might have been the original thing Zordon used for himself and or aliens before but that it would change to something much closer to the TV series and first movie in the 2nd. Cause personally I really really hate the suits and Zords.
I think the story of Kimberly was meant for many movies, maybe to part 2
I followed the production of this film from the moment it was announced to the first trailer, to opening day and unfortunately to the end when we saw the box office taking and realized we werent gonna get another one. I saw it 4 times in theaters with friends and bought 2 copies of the bluray. I love this film, its definitely not perfect and there are many areas for the new film series to improve but you can tell they tried and put alot of care into this.
I actually loved the film. I liked the idea that the first climax that is being built up (After Rita) is the Morph. The fact that this is the ORIGIN of the rangers where becoming them is the end goal and Defeating Rita is just their duty is very interesting to me. Plus the morphing scene is extremely impactful after genuinely watching the film and not just seeing the journey the group went on to reach this point, but also after being deprived of the power rangers for this long. The slow walk with "It's Morphing Time" playing gives me goosebumps
It took too long for them to morph, which turned off the fans.
The inconsistent tones didn’t help either
Aside from the designs of the suits, Megazord, and Goldar, I really enjoyed the movie. I'm curious who would have played Tommy and how his story would play out.
there was an idea that they made tommy a girl and date trini (i mean that was a fan idea) but it's still kind of a cool direction to take it
Concepts/ideas were good, but I think Saban main focus was to make it to raise the power ranger brand value so he could sell it.
I would love to see the drakon storyline with Jason David frank as a movie or even a tv series but unfortunately I don’t think it’ll ever come to fruition
I feel like a lot of reboots failed because people expect it to either be the exact same as the original only with better effects and such, or so similar you can’t tell the difference between the two and in either instance that’s just not what a reboot is. When you reboot a series, the only set rule is that you stick to the basic plot and a few key details. Do that and you’ve accomplished what you set out to do in the reboot. Take the new He-Man cartoon on Netflix for example. They stuck to the basic premise of “prince with magic powers fights evil skull-head nut job” and stuck to the key elements like Castle Greyskull and “I have the power!” They’ve kept to those points no matter what else they changed and it’s done well enough to get extra seasons.
If people didn’t get so hung up on the fact that’s it’s different from the original, then they would be able to see that this new thing, SEPARATE from the original, can actually pretty good (there are some that fail possibly due to not following this or maybe because they did what the fans want and just did the exact same thing with updated effects and people decided they actually didn’t want that)! That’s just what I think though!
I agree and I think we need to start honestly talking about whether a movie is a reboot or a remake. There's a meaningful difference between the two, and movies that can't tell which one they are tend to be disappointing
Yeah, too bad people have a tendency to be stupid!
Some things could have been done better...but I liked it.
I hated the execution of the power coins and the costumes but but I really love the more personal backstory for zordon and Rita, It made their conflict feel more real rather than the basic good versus evil. And having the zeo crystal in angel Grove made the conflict make much more sense. But I hated Golddar even more than everything else
Why does “attitude” mean “troubled”?
Why wouldn’t the characters from the show be labeled as not having attitude?
It’s cus people forget that attitude actually means someones view or mood/feeling on something, but people seem to think it means exclusively being a snob or jerk
@@Albino_Basilisk Exactly!
I feel like everyone criticizes this movie for comparing it to the show
As if the show is a cinematic masterpiece of our time, which is…. not correct
I get so hurt when I see how many people did not like the costume designs. I always felt that was the one thing they really nailed. Giving it more of an alien esthetic made sense to me. The design of the Zords and the Megazord are what bothered me.
Why did the aliens atheistic make sense to you. The rangers powers are ethereal, not alien. The designs were messy kibble laden monstrosities in my opinion and lack and character or individuality outside of their colors.
You’re free to feel that way but I don’t understand why you do and you haven’t explained it.
They looked awful and over designed.
@flowrebaz6189 It made sense because space and aliens had a lot to do with the show! Tf! I mean, they were literally traveling to other planets and had a season called Power Rangers in Space. To me, the movie wasnt just taking things from the original mighty Morphin, but the first two to three iterations of the show (Mighty Morphin, Zeo, in Space). But y'all seem like the kind of people that would've hated anything they came up with because I don't think they look that much different from the suits in the original '95 movie.
@adeptdamage3669 Yea, but if they had come out in their original spandex suits, y’all would've complained about that as well. Out of all the REAL issues this movie has, the suits are trivial in comparison. Stop being haters.
@@kidnplay3978 They still looked like shit. And I think the aesthics highlight the biggest issue with the film.
4:26-4:48
its already been done in other franchises, and it wasn’t a lighting in a bottle scenario either.
It’s called the DCAU. I know those are cartoons and not live action, but nothing says that same effort can’t be applied to live action
Bat in the Sun did amazing costume work for Tommy's green and white ranger. That would work well for the new movie
As you said I really liked the dynamic between the teenagers and their personalities. In the TV show they were too perfect, but Power Rangers IS super cheesy to begin with so we took that as it is.
I wonder if that story would have worked better as a show.
In my opinion, the perfect prototype of what a modern Power Rangers film should be is Pacific Rim. Riley and Mako initially do not know each other, and are not perfect, but grow and work together. They even suit up to pilot the Jaeger/Megazord. It is obviously more grounded than the original MMPR, but doesn't take itself too seriously either. Power Rangers needs someone who will respect and enjoys the original concept.
This movie holds special nostalgic value as it was the first movie I saw with my best friend when he moved in with me. Other than that I think it had potential but it just took way too long trying to be an origin story that by the time being rangers came up the film was nearly over. Enjoyed the Prologue comic though
I grew up in the 90's and I absolutely loved the Power Rangers series. I was at first not too sure about this 2017 reboot of the OG 90's Power Rangers movie; but my brother's and I went to go see it and we all had dope time with the movie and later on discussing the movie without complaining and overly exssevly criticizing the movie. I personally love this reboot of one of my favorite 90's TV shows.
This could be a trilogy or maybe even a quadrilogy. I think that the costumes were better than in the show.
I like this movie, it showed a group of rangers that were very, human, for a lack of better words.
Not that I have anything against the original group mind you. If it weren't for them I would have watched this movie to begin with.
Unlike so many, I came into this movie with a set of fresh eyes. I had no expectation that it would be like that original series and found it to be exactly what it needed to be for the most part.
Too many people had certain expectations going in, and that harmed everyone involved. They simply didn't want to except that this was it's own entity, and still should be.
It’s not misunderstood. From what I’ve seen, most people that watched it did like it; the problem is that not enough people actually watched it because there was little to no marketing.
And if I remember correctly, the film had heavy competition with Beauty and the Beast which might’ve contributed to the film not doing well in the box office.
I really enjoyed this movie tbh. I love the way they were all coming together as one as rather than "friendship shenanigans in the original series. The zords were awesome, the story was neat and the teaser for Tommy Oliver and his green gears really hyped me up. The cast was also multi race just like the original show. How can I forget the OG MMPR theme song during the zords scene. I literally screamed in the theaters with other fans. Hopefully the new hasbro movie can give this franchise another go.
I thought it was meh. Hopefully the new reboot will be better. They all didn't even fully morph until doggone near the end of the film. Great video 6th ranger. 😁
'90s teenagers with attitude was totally different than what people's idea of teenagers with attitudes are now
Just rewatched again after a year or two. When it first came out I watched it a LOT! I LOOOVE the film so much, the character driven storyline, and the cast! It breaks my heart that the PR Cinematic Universe they had planned won't happen. I know the next installment would have included Zedd and the Green Rangers which would have done exactly what it did for the original series. The sequel would have surpassed the first film by a landslide and the further sequels would have been greenlit immediately. But apparently the bulk of the PR fandom needs more flashy colors, robots, and explosions and less real human storylines to be entertained.... ::sigh::
The film took too long for them to suit up, and I wasn’t big on the dramatic tone. It lacked the campiness of the show.
Not to mention that incredibly out of place bull joke.
I grew up on power rangers, and I always wanted a more adult version of the power ranger, give it the superhero movie effect ya know? and I feel like this movie succeeded in the venture, I still adore this movie to this day because of that, and argue that there's only like 5 or 7 mcu films that are better, if this movie was part of the mcu, it would be top their mcu content amongst fans.
I biggest issue was with the zords. The whole movie builds up to the fight, “Go go Power Rangers” plays, we are fully hyped, and Billy accidentally drives backwards. Ruined the moment! And then they formed the Megazord. Somehow. Seriously how does it form?
I thoroughly enjoyed the film with it’s more in-depth lore & mature tone, and the costume designs were different but still good. I wasn’t looking for the old PR movie. I was looking for something fresh & got it.
The best thing about the 2017 movie was the cast. It was one of the best casts to be in a superhero movie alongside the Avengers. They have so much potential and chemistry.
What They Got Right:
1) RITA: She is the best part of the film. She is a scary monster who will rip your jaw off to get a gold tooth and then turn around and be sexy and charismatic the next. A Rita that kills, even other power rangers, was great. Her being the original green ranger was great and answered how she originally had the dragon coin. AND it explained how she knew what color ranger each kid was... because she was still connected to the morphin grid while in possession of the coin. And given the film spends so much time with the kids trying to be worthy to be Rangers... at the end when Rita shouts at Jason “Zordon judge me? Never! I AM WORTHY!” ... that line was sooo good and said so much with very little words.
I can’t say enough about Rita in this.
2) The Team: The kids all have personalities and flaws and for better or worse are ‘teenagers with attitude’ and had chemistry when interacting together, and even individual friendships within the team (Jason & Billy) (Kim & Jason, that they wussed out on them kissing 😆) (Zack & Trini picking on each other).
3) The Zeo Crystal: This legit gives the monsters a reason to keep singling Angel Grove out. This plot device explains away soooo many plot holes.
4) Zordon: They could never capture what original Zordon was so having him be grumpy and not confident in the new team, his past history with Rita helps keep me invested.
What Needs Fixed:
1) All things Morphed:
The suits, the coin and the Megazord would of benefitted being more true to the show. And I was so sad that they had the chance to do a power sword epic kill shot and they didn’t ham it up. A rare chance missed when no explosion would of been too big.
2) Goldar: The movie wouldn’t need to change at all. Rita could still could of collected gold to make her wand and the armor of Goldar, but his look should of stayed true to the show.
3) Cut the Billy Death Scene Out: As emotional as the scene was meant to be- no one believed Billy was going to die. So instead I think that since so much time was spent on the team learning to morph they could of used the extra time from the death scene to spend time more time with the morphed Rangers as they fought off the putties before just jumping into the zords
Who else wants to be friends with this man and just hang out and talk PR, Batman and 90s pro wrestling? Cuz I know it’s not just me.
Y'know what Hasbro/Paramount should do with the Power Rangers movie? Give us something a bit more original. I like idea of a movie based around Tommy in his adult years with all five of his powers.
The movie is underrated. It's the dark and gritty remake people wanted. But then everyone wanted the original.
Love how Tommy and Kim showed up at the the end
The film wasn’t that bad, but if we were going back in time, the product placement should be removed from the film because it’s a distraction to the story. Production Placement is now removed and the reviews might a little bit positive then mixed reviews to say at least and the box office records might make an moderate box office success. I don’t know that is my opinion. And the tone, just aim for a Neo-Noir tone because I can tell that the film had ambition. I really LOVE THE MOVIE and feel it is better than the 1995’s and 1997’s movies. I actually enjoy now and when it was upon release in 2017.
The problem with asking question like this is, “Are you asking the popular opinion or are you asking the individual?” Me, I personally liked it, kinda sad we didn’t get part two and the green ranger. I am not gonna act like it’s the best version on The Power Rangers, but with things the way they are now, throw in different timelines and multiverses, they fit right in to me.
I mean, the best part of the movie was the first four minutes. They had almost no fighting as Power Rangers and there isn’t even a Megazord sequence. The “Power Rangers” part of this Power Rangers movie feels like an afterthought.
I mean, imagine working on ninja steel and finding out they're making a parody of something you are working on.I would be pissed.
Dude the costumes were top tier!
It wasn't a good story and it wasn't done well. It was derivative. It tried to be edgy. It was ashamed of its identity. It dramatically changed character core personalities and motivations.
It was a shitshow in all aspects. But the worst was that if you have 5 main characters and they're all unlikable you've just failed outright.
I saw this in theaters opening weekend because I was so excited for it. I LOVED it. I've been a fan since the first series debuted, back when I was in middle school, and to me, the film captured the essence of the show and put it in a modern context. I loved the interpersonal dynamics of the characters, and how Rita was a much more interactive villain this time around. Billy was the standout among this new group of rangers, at least for me. He was the real heart of the team. But I loved Kim and Trini's bonding scenes, and the quiet moments. I also loved how Goldar was handled, being Rita's zord. Agreed on the Ranger costumes themselves - though I do think they look better in motion than they do in stills.
What really let the film down, IMO, was the toys. The original series' toys were amazing! My brother got a bunch that first year for Christmas, because my mom did her shopping so early, and actually bought them before the show blew up, thinking if he didn't end up liking it, she'd take them back and exchange them. And then my brother adored the show, and the toys were nowhere to be seen, and we had a suitcase in the back of my parents' closet full of them. Talk about a happy kid at Christmas! But the toys for the 2017 movie were so far from the caliber of those original toys, or even the toys for the current series (was that Beast Morphers at the time?), that they were laughable. They looked like they were melting, they weren't articulated. What kid would look at those toys and decide they had to see this movie?
I am sad we'll never get the sequel, since it was set up so perfectly in the mid-credits sequence. So is my brother, who didn't end up seeing this in theaters, but he watched it on DVD with me when he came to visit that summer. He really liked it as well.
The chemistry between the actors was great.
To me it felt like a big budget version of the first episode of the show.
They made Billy a huge focus point in this, Billy in the show was probably considered the least popular character, he's kinda the whole reason they come together.
I've found part the Rangers forging their friendship is the interesting portion for me, more than when they finally transform and calling Zords, the Zords battle portion was tooo long and excruciating for me (can't believe myself I finally feel something like that) plus the Zords design was not helping me, for comparison I LOVE Pacific Rim (the 1st movie, NOT the 2nd) and I can watch the Jaeger fighting infinitely
I also didn't hate this movie, the biggest problem in my opinion is that they ruined the most epic part and what I loved about all Power Rangers episodes: the transformation. Why change one of the most epic classic legendary things in the franchise?
It almost seems like a glimpse into the multiverse of what would happen if the Breakfast Club became the Power Rangers.
i have some many question when watches 2017 power rangers movie:
why didnt the rangers use morpher to morph?
why didnt the rangers perform roll call after they morph?
whu does goldar made of gold instead being alien?
why isnt trini a asian and why is billy a a african?
why does zordon look like wall?
What does it matter if trini isn’t Asian or billy is black? Zack wasn’t Asian in the original either
I think they changed the ethnicities of Trini is because they didn’t want to make yellow ranger an Asian women which was a huge casting mistake back in the 90s that they probably wanted to avoid in the reboot, especially with Zack by making him an Asian man. Also, why did you call Billy African when he is obviously American, also, you can refer to him as black.
It upsets me that this movie didn’t receive a positive reception. The incredible character writing, retelling of the lore, and updated mechanics made it a great movie overall.
Haha around the same time I devoted a nearly 40 minute video on why this was the Power Rangers movie we really deserved. I love it even more on every rewatch.
I didn’t hate the movie, I liked being able to see a different take on the rangers I grew up with. While I wasn’t happy with some little choices I understand in the film world why they were made, the suits weren’t bad but could’ve been much better, and to me the pacing felt a little slow. AGAIN they were trying to establish the characters and work on their relationships to make compelling characters and I’m all for it. Just wished that they would’ve spent more than the last few minutes in the suits (but I guess that’s how it went in the show too). Overall I enjoyed it more than I thought I would but felt it could’ve been much better if they put in more time to decide what it was trying to be
I had no problem with the group, I just felt it shouldn’t have been a MMPR do over.
MMPR had the best Zord and Helmets, the 2017 fails at both. I rather go watch the MMPR movie because of it. The individual zords are way to dark and their design make me thing that they are based on insects.
Even the Dino Fury has better designs, I might have ranked those quite high if they had actually had partnered with Lego. I would have brought that Lego kit, this is sadly my thought everything the DF megazord is on screen.
yeah. i didn't like the 2017 power rangers movie. first, I agree that the ranger's suits sucked. personally, i never wanted the dark gritty reboot. I'm honestly disappointed in this idea that dark and gritty translates to good. Mor mature depends on what you mean. If more mature means swearing and sexually explicit content, I'm not interested. If more mature means more nuance in the topics it covers then yeah.
Wasn't fond of the changes made to Rita and Goldar and completely erasing Finster. Zordon was neutral.
Zordon was cool. but i have to say zordon of eltar a power rangers fan film did a better back story, and made
The zords in this movie looked more like zoids to me. different franchise.
The last 30 minutes was an advertisement for Krispy Kreme.
The movie was fine enough. The only thing I hated above ALL were the costumes. They were referring to it as armor, while true that's how it may be seen by some people, the costumes serve IMO two big in universe purposes. 1: they provide the heroes with an alter ego as to protect their friends and family from their enemies as any good costume should. 2: they help contain their power and help them harness it within them as to not escape. I seem to remember hearing the sparks produced when hit is the Grid energy being released from the suit. Those suits in the movie were treated as literal armor so they all ended looking like a rainbow of football players
I'm glad to see someone who enjoyed it, even as someone who generally prefers more faithful adaptations. Main thing for me was seeing the Blue Ranger as an autistic kid, which was great as an autistic person myself.
I watched Marvel The Eternals, and watching it first time my reaction was "THIS will be a great Power Rangers movie"
not being sarcastic but I really love MCU The Eternals, despite previously I'm cynical it try to balance 10 superhero from beginning, and despite I never know the comic.
The Eternal for me successfully introduce 10 colorful people (not talking about their skin), ironically I think the key was they have to be split into group to condense the focus, which I think it's sacrilegious for Power Rangers, until finale all them finally in one for last battle (most of them, there's still flaws, no spoilers).
It wasn’t bad, but it could’ve been so much better. The Krispy Crème ads are distracting as hell so that was one notable issue I had.
I think the a big problem box office wise was that it was more aimed at adults who grew up with show than kids, but these people obviously still saw power rangers as a children’s franchise, so didn’t bother to see it in theatres. Kids also didn’t see it as the approach it took didn’t appeal to kids as much, leading to neither audience seeing it.
I enjoyed it, the Billy stuff with Jason made me tear up a little and the end of the fight you really felt like they all became close and would either win or lose together
If I had a nickel for every time a gacha-style game made as a spin-off to a series' attempt to be more serious became more loved than the original series, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Actually you can appeal to kids and adults at the same time: Time Force, RPM, Lightspeed Rescue, Lost Galaxy
There is nothing misunderstood about this movie, everyone knew what it will be, a vanilla and run of the mill dry superhero movie, and so didn't bother.
Doesn't help that the designs were really bad, with fights choreography worse than a show for kids with low budget.
Holy fuck yes I almost forgot about that fan video with the great Vanderbeak!! Please make a video on how amazing THAT movie would have been
I personally love the movie, my one major deal-breaking gripe is the fact that they only morph at the very end of the film and have an incredibly short fight scene before spending the rest of the film in their zords. Felt like I waded through a bunch of teenage angst (despite its storytelling strength) for a very underwhelming payoff.
The Power Rangers 2017 movie was "Bayformered". Take an established franchise, and think to yourself, "Fuck, I can make it look cooler than this".
This film was absolutely amazing. Like an instant rewatch beautifully done film. As someone who has been a fan since childhood, going all the way back to Ep 1 of Mighty Morphin I can positively say this film was amazing. A true shame we didn’t get a sequel, and a shame people slept on this film/didn’t get it. This film had it all. Great story, well fleshed out characters, funny, and gave many feels. Beautiful production and cinematography. Amazing score/soundtrack. The suits looked excellent. Best suit designs out of any and all in my opinion. Looked modern but paid homage to the origins. Zords did the same exact thing. As a true fan the people who made this film did everything right. It blows my mind that this didn’t get a sequel. Every actor in this film was incredible. It’s the power rangers film I always wanted to see. Elizabeth banks as Rita was perfect. Man, I just can’t say enough about how good this film is. Anyone who didn’t like this movie couldn’t possibly be original fans. Every time I watch I am so bummed knowing I won’t get to see the 2nd act. It came out in a weird time unfortunately. The film seems very appreciated now and it has a cult following today.
I'll be honest, I tried to watch it once, but the first thing happening being a joke about milking a bull, really made me feel like it was a juvenile 80s movie, rather than the PR "Glow Up" that was expected.
Cool video. It's too bad we won't get a sequel to this, because as I really liked it. As a kid I loved the show. The armor wasn't a big deal for me, I think what was important was that when they put it on did they earn it? We spent the whole film learning who the group was and watching them grow together. When we hear Jason utter that famous line god damn was it earned.
I saw the movie two times in cinema. The first time, I thought "Guys you cant be serious. That is all you can come up with?" The second screening, I got a little more into the flow of the movie and liked it a little more. Meanwhile I saw the movie a few times and I think its quite the entertaining flick to watch from time to time. Only the Megazord and that "Go Go Power Rangers" theme is just heard for 5 seconds, feels disturbing every time :D
I don't have the appear of Power Rangers on general but I actually like the 2017 movie!
That slap saved the movie.
It alone elevated it from a bad movie to a solid meh.
I loved it.. im bummed we will never get a follow up
I really want to see a list of all the Rangers that had additional Powers outside of being a ranger , like the SPD Rangers or even the Red Space Rangers powers.
I really did enjoy it. My over all largest complaint was the lack of the original theme, the hand full of seconds was not long enough, and the second was the Megazord design. I feel like it should have been a bit bulkier, or at least had the controls for each ranger in the chest, instead of in the limbs. Overall, I enjoyed it and watch it every once on a while.
Narrative wise I think they nailed it on the head. The tone is weird and the individual elements are hit and miss. Goldar being essentially liquid metal is terrible, but the idea that a monster's growth could be from gathering materials from Angel Grove was brilliant. And the Krispy Kreme thing was a bit much.
I personally love it, from the first minutes i decided to not compare this movie with Classic PRs and it's worked.
I really liked how they had Trini be gay/bi. I think what Power Rangers has needed for a while now is LGBTQ+ representation, so seeing that made me happy. The newest season even had a gay character so we’re making progress. I just want a gay male pink ranger so bad lol
