Power Rangers Movie Reboot - A Failed Franchise
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- Power Rangers is a very successful and popular entertainment franchise dating back to the mid-90s. Spanning many seasons of television, millions of toys sold, and a very passionate fanbase; it's no surprise Power Rangers have had a handful of movies in their time. But one of the most interesting is the most recent. Power Rangers (2017) was an attempt to start a cinematic universe for the Rangers but ultimately failed. Why is this and was the movie any good? Find out in this video today!
Power Rangers is a 2017 American superhero film based on the franchise of the same name, directed by Dean Israelite and written by John Gatins. It is the third installment in the Power Rangers film series and is a reboot that loosely adapts the show's pilot episode. The film features the main characters of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers television series with a new cast, starring Dacre Montgomery, Naomi Scott, RJ Cyler, Becky G, Ludi Lin, and David Denman, featuring Bill Hader, with Bryan Cranston, and Elizabeth Banks.

What did you think of Power Rangers (2017)? Did you even watch the film in the theaters? 🤔
I never saw and totally forgot that it even existed.
I didn't see it but my brother saw it and he said it was mid
@@J.C_Editz
he said it was mid.
Pretty much sums up the movies we’ve be getting as of late
Watched it with some buddies, thought it was pretty okay
@@buttmonkey2656 That’s awesome to hear
Dude - Rita being the former Green Ranger perfectly explained why the hell the original '93 Rita just happened to have the green power coin in the first place. That never made sense to me as a kid, but this film completely rectified it with that connection.
This movie was actually a stable starter for a potential franchise , it had everything for a realistic power rangers movie , it’s depiction of random teens finding the coins was great ,it was dark enough to be enjoyable , it was really cinematic , especially the world building at the beginning was really on point , it was intriguing and could create future storylines , it was a nice blend of old school and new school , it had almost everything to build a franchise creatively , wish it would continue , a lot of the things people complained about were things that could’ve been fixed with future movies , this was supposed to be the introduction, people hated on it just because “we don’t want another dark teenage angst movie “ but tbh it kinda fit this story
Oh yeah, and I grew up with the original Rangers, into I think it was 5 iterations before I stopped watching. I liked this one way more than the one from the 90's with the purple dude. It made more sense to me and I really wish they would continue the franchise with this cast.
Not really it was kind of bland.
The main reason why they made Rita the Green Ranger was because in the show, they never explained how she got the Dragonzord coin. So this movie was to explore that mythology.
The chemistry between the cast in Power Rangers were really good. They had so much potential.
I honestly enjoyed this movie. Yes, the action fighting scenes could’ve been more, but what does it for me is that it’s character driven and the development each of the rangers go through. At least the 2017 film tried to go in a different direction with a darker tone. Yes, it’s not a great movie but it definitely doesn’t deserve the hate it gets back then. I think this movie is misunderstood by many people. My favorite character out of all the rangers is actually Billy.
I really could've done with some more fight scenes
i think most the hate is on the visuals used. what's up with the spider mastodon? you need to make iconic characters recognizable like Goldar. there are clear weaknesses in the story with the biggest is the pit simulation being the team building exercise. maybe they should have set it up saying that had to retrieve the power weapons that got lost in the battle in the prehistoric past.
It was just slow in progression that is the only Issue I saw with the movie
I've been a lifelong Power Rangers fan, but this movie was so divisive in the fandom. Its like they were trying so hard to make a "dark and gritty" movie that they forgot to make a Power Rangers movie. My biggest issue is that they failed the characters in almost every way. We barely know anything about them by the end of the movie. We know their problems, but we don't know them as characters. Most of their problems aren't even resolved...they're just a back drop. You could have renamed them "Daddy Issues," "Mean Girl," "Sick Mom," "Maybe Gay," and "Socially Awkward" and saved us so much time. They also barely mentioned the zords, and the suits were awful to look at. They really got nothing right about the Power Rangers in this reboot.
It's kind of a double edge sword. On one hand we definitely could have used more of the Power Rangers. On the other hand, if they got into it too quickly then people would have complained that we didn't get enough character development and that it felt too rushed, etc. It's tricky to find the right balance in a movie like this.
Am I the only one who thinks this movie is actually pretty good?
I actually really liked it
PR2017 was pretty good, too bad it never got a sequel. Josh Brolin as Lord Zedd would’ve been badass!
Yea- I hate power rangers. Yet this movie was still good
Nope I liked the movie.
You are not alone.
Movie should have had more action.
And Kim's backstory was weird
It's like they didn't know what to do with it
At first it seemed like she was the victim of bullying then she reveals she's the perp which made her character kind of unendearing.
It Could have worked as her becoming a ranger would be a redemption arc of sorts for her to make up for the bully she used to be. The irony being she would be constantly saving the lives of those that hate her for her past actions.
@@geminiangel63 And that could have led into her and Tommy's relationship.
@@saphiriathebluedragonknight375maybe, but I kind of liked this new take with Jason and Kimberly, it was a bit interesting.
It was definitely a good movie. What killed it was 1) all of the designs were ugly, which lead to terrible merchandise, and 2) being released around the same time as the godawful remakes of Beauty and the Beast and Ghost in the Shell.
It was not a good movie. It’s just another mediocre superhero movie. It felt like a marvel movie. Safe, predictable and lack of creativity
@@damiantirado9616 No, you just have bad taste.
@@otaking3582 lol. I bet you’re the type of guy who thinks Martin Scorsese films are boring. How old are you 13? 😂
@@damiantirado9616 So not only do you have bad taste, you're also pretentious.
@@otaking3582 You have no idea what the word pretentious is. In fact if you look at the definition of pretentious it is actually you being pretentious saying power rangers is art compared to anything Martin Scorsese or Steven Spielberg have done.
Honestly to me all the movie needed to be was be a high budget japanese tokusatsu production with some better writing, catchy music than whatever the modern shows have (which is basically spamming boring background tracks and the same MMPR opening), and have a genuine light hearted story for people to invest on.
It looks like they wanted to go for a "well meaning misfits" band together and become heroes angle, but maybe focused too much on the misfits part.
It might have been better if they found the morphers early on but had not met Zordon yet, so they want to protect the city but don't really have any guidance. You could have Rita trying to tempt them to join her. They might consider it for a bit given the bad experiences they've had in the past, but decide they don't want to be like her and band together to fight her back. They could even start setting up Tommy by having him be isolated from others which makes it easier for Rita to convince him to join her. That would make a good cliff hanger for the sequel. Just some random brainstorming.
The movie was OK. It didn't get to the core of what power rangers movie was, (we loved the campedness) and lacked soul
I didn't like the fact that the Rangers had to stand in a circle and confess their "bond" in order to morph. Instead of going with the morphers (which they actually had toys of), they completely abandoned them for no damn reason.
Given the tone of the movie, the way their technology works and the overall theme of the movie, it kinda makes sense why they did that. But I know what u mean and hopefully whenever we get a sequal they will have actual morphers.
To be fair they thought they had 3 or 4 more movies and this was only supposed to be an introduction
I liked the movie, but I didn't realize you only see the Power Rangers in the last 30 MINUTES of the movie!
This movie was the breakfast club with powers
It was the breakfast club meets chronicle, which I honestly thought was a great mashup
I totally forgot that this film existed.
One of the forgettable films of 2017.
Same it was okay until the power rangers stuff which is a problem in a power rangers movie
This film deserved to fail, it took everything that made the Rangers unique and sucked the energy out of it.
You're goddamn right
Oh come on. It wasn’t THAT bad.
there are worse PR films tho lmao?
@@louiscyphre6021 well at least those feel like power Rangers and not river dale drama with suits
This is why the Power Rangers fanbase is toxic,immature,problematic losers they don't know everything what is best for them.😂
Fun fact. Power Rangers 2017 has a graphic novel sequel. I haven't read it yet so I don't know if it's good, but it exists.
Aa far as rebooting the cinematic universe. Okay. It's very simple. Adapt the Boom Studios comic(s).
Would be better as a television series but could probably work as a series of film if done correctly.
I read the comic sequel. I didn’t really like it.
I didn’t read it either. It’s meh.
How come whenever these franchises try to startup they never put all the effort into the first movie they just set up all the context for the next film that never gets made and they expect to get good box office numbers....LOL
9:12 you wrong for that bro 🤣 lol i see what genre you like😂😂
That had my dying. Was not expecting that.
Another important reason why it failed it was because of its release that . There was a lot of competition in the March of that year . For example the beauty and the beast remake which made 1.2 billion dollars. 500 million just domestic.
Say what you will about the original Power Ranger movie, it had theme's and ideas, it committed all the way to them, it just wasn't very good for the most part. The problem with this movie was that it got too crowded, wasn't good at conveying its themes and 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 just hope Hasbro can do a better job with this franchise
So well said, thanks for your take! 🙏
It had a great teen cast who worked well together which is why I feel like it would have worked better if it really dug into the coming of age side of it rather than the fighting, similar to the new It
@@PopScreenOfficial if you want to get invested in the Power Rangers franchise as a whole, I’d highly recommend watching the Original Saban seasons, the Disney era seasons and Dino Charge (the only good Neo Saban season) and read the Boom Comics. It’s really that good of a comic series.
@@PopScreenOfficial im happy power rangers movie failed it was that bad and the reboot megazord was awful the tv shows are way better. they better not plan to try to reboot the power rangers movie we dont need a new reboot.
I actually liked it. Wasn't the best, but as a massive Power Rangers fan as a kid, I enjoyed it.
i enjoyed the 2017 reboot, wished they gave it a chance to really thrive a it but folks didn't bother. the dark take on them was good enough, i enjoyed rita's darker take as well an her origins of being a former ranger. it was pretty good overall.
I really actually wanted to see Tommy and the Dragonzord. How alien they would've designed it.
I realized it went quiet fast, but I loved this movie despite its flaws. I had no idea that it lost them money though, I was really looking forward for a sequel
Me too they should have at least seen how the next one did like they did ninja turtles
I hated that they didn’t make a second one. Especially teasing Tommy in the end credits
Kimberly’s backstory is a bit odd. At first you think she’s a victim of bullying, but it kind of reveals that she was a bully. I believe the Director send her back story was revealed then she be completely unlikable. They really should’ve tried to establish a friendship with her and Trini. In a scene that was in the trailer but was deleted, Trini is shown in front of her locker that has hurtful words on it. It’s sad but Kimberly quickly tries to cheer her up. It’s a simple thing but it establishes much more character development. This movie has a lot of deleted scenes that should’ve been kept. It be interesting if Kimberly was a former mean girl trying to be a better person. Realizing that her “friends“ were toxic and making better friends.
I can’t believe they left Bulk and Skull. They could’ve made them actual bullies pick on one of the main characters and they get humiliated at the end. But nooo…
You can't have MMPR without Bulk and Skull.
It reminded me a lot of Fan4stic and Chronicle.
That’s a really accurate comparison lol
@@PopScreenOfficial
Definetly took inspiration.
The writer they initially had said that as well.
He wanted a 90’s vibe, they didn’t.
So he tweeted that “apparently they’ve made Chronicle”.
@@PopScreenOfficial I highly recommend reading the Boom Studios Power Rangers comic run if you want a more character driven storyline. It’s really that great of a comic series.
Waaaaay better than Fan4stic
Another trend that was going on in 2017 for some reason were Howard Hughes homage movies like this movie, spiderman homecoming and I wanna say Death Note to some degree.
If it's a power rangers season that really does deserve a movie it's light speed rescue or lost galaxy.
Speaking as a big Power Rangers fan, i think the reason you don't really see people talk about it is because there's the stigma of it being "for babies" (which, to be fair it basically is NOW) so the fans just don't bother talking about it because they will just be made fun of anyway
For how long it's been made for babies
@@murderman8578 Since Megaforce (2013 or so)
@@TokuNorth Damn I think that's where I fell off even as a kid🤣🤣
@@murderman8578 Oof! That's really sad to think about
even though Dino Charge was pretty good, after that it became for babies again and just felt pandering and insulting to watch
@@TokuNorth I just got interested in other things to watch as I got older I watched Dino Charge for a bit but didn't click for 13 yo me
Fun fact tommy was mentioned in the aftercredit scene so they didnt make them the same...also it makes scense rita was the 1st green ranger since it was never exsplained where rita got the green ranger powers.
To this day I’m still bummed the movie didn’t do well. I personally loved it, the cast made the movie for me and I think it would’ve been really cool to see them go on for at least a couple more movies together
To be fair, the pacing kind of matches the first two episodes of the first season. So it's not like they did it badly in relation.
I saw this movie and immediately forgot about it when I walked out of the theater. It was really forgettable.
Can you do a video set on DreamWorks as a company with also your opinion about them with also there rise and fall and where are they currently plus your opinion on all there animated movies including there recent one The Bad Guys
The post credit scene set up Tommy. A teacher talks to him off screen.
Also, the og Tommy and Kimberly get cameos in the film, tho they originally meant to have a much bigger cameo to what they got
It’s a shame cause instead of being a schlocky mess that only gets recognition because of the power ranger brand, it was actually a well written well acted film with characters that felt REAL
Not really it was generic.
It’s generic to begin with, mostly as a result of way too much executive meddling from Saban Brands, but it would’ve had much better development anyway.
@@adeptdamage3669A rewarding generic writen script.
I actually really liked this movie. I liked that we got to know the characters before the power ranger stuff. I even liked that the characters were unlikeable because they had room to grow throughout the movie. I even think the cheesy stuff was on brand. Honestly thought they did a decent job and wanted to see more. That being said. Tone inconsistencies, not making enough money, and not too much interest did kill sequel chances.
Can you do a video on Rise of the TMNT, how people widely disregarded it and how it’s now getting the recognition it deserves
Request:The amazing Spider-Man 2
I was never a huge Power Rangers fan, even as a kid, but when this movie came out I was already a Super Sentai fan and was getting into the Boom Studios Power Rangers comics.
I actually really liked this movie when it came out. I haven't rewatched it since it was out in theaters, but I remember finding it pretty solid and actually looking forward to a sequel.
The pacing of this movie is spot on exactly same as 90’s tv show .
Irregular ,explosive & with quick finish .
This is literally the power rangers version of the Michael Bay Tmnt movies
No, just no. It's not bad of a movie. While tmnt 2014 that's a whole different story,that was truly god awful garbage. Turtles looking like giant walking frogs.
I remember that I never like them casting human Shrek as the red ranger
The shade is TOO good 🤣🤣🤣 damn
Everyone will have their opinions on this film, but here is my take: I genuinely enjoyed and loved the film. Yes it has its flaws and things could of been much better but I definitely had a great time and wished we could of got the sequel. Toy sales definitely could of been better, and the box office flop was majorly due to bad release timing. During the month of March in 2017, Kong Skull island, Beauty and the beast, and Logan were all out before the release. And overseas Fast and furious 8. So forsure people saw those movies before wanting to see Power rangers. And I'm sure die hard fans were the first ones in theatres. From a movie standpoint it's a pretty great film, from a Power Ranger standpoint it was good but could of been better. The cast was great, Rita was awesome. And the acting was fantastic. Nice too how they made it so young people could connect to the rangers and gave them real life teen issues and identities. The idea they went with for making this an origins film I see it and it makes sense why the rangers didnt get their powers till the third act. It's more realistic especially since in reality I'm sure teenagers getting power like that wont get ahold of it right away. Especially being strangers and not knowing how to work as a team. What would of been better is the rangers getting their armor after meeting Zordon and we seem them training and trying to get used to the powers and working as a team. Definitely would of pleased the fans more seeing more of the suits. Even the fight with rita would.of been better of she made putties and we get a morphing sequence to see how the rangers adjust in real battle and teamwork. Longer battles definitely would of been better too, they felt so short especially the megazord battle, but they still were entertaining and well choreographed. Little details would of been great such as the communicator, the rangers teleporting instead of walking all the way to the command center, Zach doing hip hop Kiddo since that's part of his character in the show. And a explanation as to how they know Martial arts whereas in the graphic novel it says both Jason and Trini knows martial arts. Things that definitely would of pleased fans forsure would of been an entire morphing time sequence and legit morphers they use. As well as all rangers having their weapons and not just jason. The suits designs were great imo, but the helmets definitely should of resembled their dinosaur more. It would of been nice too having Zordon explain each of their colors and dinos too instead of just knowing they are a specific color. The zords didnt all look so bad minus the mastodon. I get they went for alien looks but they still could of made it resembling a mastadon better. And the megazord could of honestly looked better and more ideal to the OG. We definitely could of gotten more ideas of what the zords can do and how they differ ability wise. Even the putties seemed cool too without the goofy aspect. And golder definitely deserved a redesign. They could of done the whole blue faced ape look. But end of the day it is what it is sadly, I still wish for a sequel. Bringing in Tommy was definitely a interest. Guess we shall see what's coming next.
I literally forgot that Project Almanac was even a thing. It's incredible how I've not thought about that movie once in the past 7 years since its release (granted I never watched it, but I doubt I would remember it regardless of whether or not I saw it).
I miss power rangers
this is the most elaborate crispy kreme ad ive seen
Power rangers in the 90s was mainstream . Problem is they kept trying make too many seasons and tried to push it too long same thing happened to Terminator
I remember bringing my Red Dragon Thunderzord to the movie in 1995.
Honestly I’d hire you to make a Power Rangers movie but with a couple catches.
1. I’d want to work with you on the script of the story.
2. I’d be giving only $75M dollars for the production budget so I can save up another $75M for marketing
3. You would have to do it the Christopher Nolan Style, meaning No CGI.
And I’d give you from May 9th, 2025 to September 7th, 2025 to film and the rest of September all the way up to November 14th, for reshoots.
And the film would have to come out on this release date:
June 4th, 2026.
I liked it fine but the biggest problem I had with the 2017 movie was they Rangers didn’t morph until the last 15 minutes. It made the same mistake as the Turbo movie. When they reboot it again, they should build up to the Shattered Grid story, make Lord Drakken the Thanos of that franchise.
I only watched the full movie once and while its nowhere near great it's still watchable and that's more than i can say for the Power Rangers movie on Netflix. Knowing this franchise was supposed to have a total of atleast 7 movies and this one mainly focused on Jason, I always thought the second would focus on Kimberly, the third would focus on Billy, the fourth on Trini, the fifth on Zack, the sixth on Tommy, and the last one on theme defeating Rita Repulsa once and for all.
I've never seen this movie but every time I feel like those bullies in movies or media montage I always see where they're in detention
I enjoyed the movie too. Such a shame we didn’t get a sequel. The cast was great and worked well together. I really liked Dacre Montgomery as the red ranger and RJ Cyler as the blue ranger.
They spent so much time trying to get the power rangers to simply morph into the suits. Whyyy? They were already chosen.
The focus of the movie should have been how to work as a team while actually in the power ranger suits. First major battle should have been them losing because they weren't working as a team and at the end of the movie now that they have "learned" to work as a team they win.
Also don't get me started on the megazord. The design, while bad imo wasn't even the biggest issue it was the fact that the studio completely failed to show the megazord transform/combine. A huge omission. I get it Transformers had been out for 10 years at this point but the megazord was the final cap that sealed the fate of the movie.
What we did get was all of the robots falling into a pit then a random grey mech emerges not resembling anything close to a megazord. Such a missed opportunity.
Agreed on all accounts
Yeah the marketing i think is what really killed this movie especially with putting a Kayne West song in one of the trailers when they could ahve just done a remix of one of the already existing Power Rangers theme songs and spliced it into a trailer.
Is it me or did Sonic Movie 2 do a better job at a snow chase scene and a giant robot scene than Ninja Turtles or Power Rangers ever could?
LET'S GO IT'S MIGHTY MORBIN TIMEEEE 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
morphin
The movie was really good, the problem was the marketing, I swear I didn’t see a single promotion for the movie in TV or even in youtube. The only reason I was aware of the movie is because of my love for the franchise, but most of my friends who grew up loving Power Rangers didn’t even know this movie existed or even was in production
10:52. The coins give them the ability to teleport. This is hinted at, when Jason leaves his coin by the bed, then sees it in the bathroom a few seconds later. Im sure we'd find out more in the sequels we never got.
And in the comic sequel, they rangers were able to talk to each other through the coins. So the coins were to serve as the movie’s version of the communicators.
Yeah I've met people like that bully in life, society would call them "edgy", or medically; sociopathic, but yeah I've met and had to stand up to them.
I come from the opposite direction of you (Pop Screen) on this film in terms of childhood.
I was a child mostly of the 80s (born in the late 70s, finished growing up in the 90s). I stuck with cartoons and children's entertainment longer than even most of my friends, and was willing to at least try to give Power Rangers and Pokemon a chance. Pokemon was okay, but I just could not tolerate Power Rangers.
There was so much potential for deep storytelling and I just didn't see them trying to achieve it.
The first thing that MUST NOT happen with a team story like this is for EVERYBODY on the team to ALWAYS agree. It just gets boring. If there's no conflict on the team, then there's no real excitement. We aren't watching the story of a team, but the story of one person with five different faces.
I actually almost got into the comics when they first came out because there was actually some conflict on the team. It was something about one of them taking a risk to get a new power coin or something for Billy (former blue ranger) because he had lost his power at the time. Billy basically chewed the other ranger's ass out for risking the mission.
Another thing that bothered me was the lack of parents. As I mentioned earlier, I was a comic book fan. (Still am, just don't have the time/money. Turns out full employment+responsibilities is less profitable than partial employment -responsibilities.) My absolute favorite character was Tim Drake AKA Robin III. (Actually, he's still my favorite character, but for nostalgia reasons if I'm being honest.)
The thing about Tim in his own comics was that he actually had to deal with a parent. He wasn't an orphan like his mentors, Bruce (Batman) and Dick (Nightwing/Robin I). His mother was killed, but his father survived. His home life wasn't terrible, but it had its challenges. His father (Jack) survived the attack that killed his mother, but was left crippled. This meant Tim often had to take care of his dad, in addition to the responsibilities he'd taken on as Robin. Tim's disappearances and absences didn't go unnoticed when he constantly disappeared, stayed out late, etc. And when Jack found out what his son's "extracurricular activities" really were...
The shit hit The Bat.
The Rangers of the original series, however, didn't even seem to have parents.
This also leads into my third problem with the series, though it wasn't really pointed out until a Power Rangers fan film.
Needless to say, Jack was furious at the danger his son was put in. His 14-year old son was essentially going out at night and committing multiple crimes to fight hardened killers with nothing but a fancy suit, some throwing stars, and a stick.
The Rangers had it even worse. There was a fan film several years back (before the 2017 film) where it was set several years after the rangers and somebody's killing the now adult rangers. It made the point that essentially they were child soldiers drafted into an intergalactic war they're not yet old enough to even understand.
The movie managed to cover all of these points fairly well for its run time.
The characters had their differences. They were friends, but they weren't all the same.
Their parents were there, cared about them, and thus because of this became an obstacle to what they needed to do.
We saw the first set of Rangers die at the beginning, establishing that what they do is dangerous.
The movie wasn't great, but it was enjoyable. If the original series had been 1/4 as good about addressing these points, I'd have a few Rangers decorating my geek shelf now. I'd really like to have seen the film as a prime-time TV series instead of a film. The same themes and ideas, but better developed over time. It also would have left them time to show The Rangers actually learning to control their zords instead of suddenly knowing how to use them perfectly. (Which would have mad a great analogy to teenagers learning to drive.)
Final note: I LOVED the krispy kreme thing and laughed my ass off. Best in-your-face-over-the-top-we-got-payed-bitches product placement since Darkened Skye.
I'm not fussy. I actually liked it. I even liked the suit design (and I'm very critical when it comes to character design). My only input is that the combined Megazord could look more mechanized, rather than biomechanical humanoid thing (their individual Zord designs are fine). The enemy creature design could use some work too. Goldar as a molten gold, goo creature kinda underwhelming. Surely someone can draft a better design than that. But other than that, I liked it. The characters are likable enough too. They have their own drama but not too overwhelming. Something that can be explored if this was a series.
It was underrated, also it was released the same month as Disney Beaty and the beast. All the big PR fans came out week one and it fall down the box office after.
The problem was the lack of promotion to the movie,many movies has like 3 or 4 trailers, but for these movie there were just 1 or 2, if it wasnt for the comicon in my country on 2017, like a mont or two before the movie starred in theathers, I wouldnt have known about it, neithers many of my friends which were really fans of the franchise
Thats something that really affected the reception of it
Even though this movie was very mixed overall, it definitely laid the groundwork and had gotten all the origin story stuff out of the way so that we could have at least one or two really cool sequels where the whole movie they already can morph and have experience with the megazord
While I didn't personally enjoy this movie, there was one scene that had me laughing hard. Just a split second joke once they went giant robot mode. One of the legs accidentally stepped on and crushed a yellow Camaro. To which the guy in that leg called out "Sorry, Bumblebee!"
As someone who lived through Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles at their heights, I wouldn't necessarily say that PR dethroned the Turtles. The Turtles had already cooled down significantly in 1994, which was PR's peak year. I'd say 1992 was probably the last huge year they had. They remained fairly popular until around 1996, when the cartoon ended, but not even close to those early heights.
Great video btw. I skipped this movie. It looks like a valiant effort that just didn't quite deliver, which is more than a lot of other blockbuster films have done.... Looking at you Moonfall!!
I think they tried to make it work knowing after it was made it would fail. This would’ve made a Great Netflix show with movies as they have to build the characters and stories and 2-3 hours just isn’t enough for a project this big.
I do want to see what will the dragon and Titanus and see how they combine with a megazord in the reboot
This review, just like this movie came and went without me noticing. One of the benefits/drawbacks to cutting the cord back in 2005, is that I get zero commercials, thus rarely any ads. So I saw no promotion for this movie whatsoever, just logged into Amazon Prime one day and there it was.
I actually liked this movie more than I ever did the original. Did not mind the wait to see them suit up. Rita was awesome and finally scary-ish as she should have always been. Honestly the only thing the original did better was the costumes. OG movie Ranger suits are still the gold standard.
I watched this film at my daycare like 5 years ago and i barely even remember it even though I was like 8

It’s a shame it failed cause it was actually really good.
Honestly this could have been one of those average movies that spawn an amazing sequel and it's a shame it isn't happening
This is my first time even learning there was another Power Rangers movie after the first two.
When was the comic launched? If it was around then, they probably should've based it on that since the comic sounds far better.
8:13 I have and yes they do. There are ppl out there who just mock and try to hurt others because they want to
it sucks that this entire movie existed to set up a franchise rather than just to be a good movie and earn sequels - Iron Man did it correctly and they made a good movie that could stand on it's own but warranted sequels - this movie spent the entire runtime setting up sequels but forgot to be a really good stand-alone movie first
Also wanted to get into samurai but could never shi, ended up finishing PR Lightspeed rescue which was pretty good but forgot Hella.
Wonder why it doesn't catch on to our time, I'm 03 btw.. anybody else on the topic?
I loved this movie, Shame it bombed
8:06 sadly i have had a would be bully act like that towards me in high school.
Kurtzman did The Mummy not Orci.
Not a bad movie but a decent attempt to tone down the eccentricities of the show
Honestly the first couple minutes of this video is what I think of the Power Rangers franchise in general and that I'm not a big fan of it but I do understand that that is a fanbase and that it's definitely a product of its time and I did try and get into it...But I think even as a kid I think there was a lot of people even in my younger days at school won't even talk about Power Rangers we would usually talk and we're interested in things like Superhero's and other franchise's in genral like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Transformers they just had a bigger impact on us
I thought it was a shame too, I was hoping part two would have really jumpstarted a new iteration
3:39 don’t forget he also did transformers prime
Power Rangers isn’t mainstream??? 🤣🤣😭😭😭😭 what?
Angel Grove is a lot more magical when you know it's Storybrooke
I loved this series sense I was a child and I also thought the movie wasn't the best compared to some of the other shows and movies but it still was good.
I also think this because I'm partly biased.
Ok, I'll admit it. This movie is not that good on re-watch. Imo I still think they could've made it work out by the end. Because I did like how character driven this movie was. But damn this film's writing and dumb Krispy Kreme product placement bits surely did not help it.
The Original Power Rangers - Power Rangers Samurai mostly all went crazy.
U deserve a sub my guy fr🙏
Saw this movie with my dad when it first released still have the promotional popcorn bucket the theater was selling
4:10 Last time I got a Redbox movie was 2019.
2023 is here and no mention of a new ranger film :(
