the 2017 Power Rangers movie was one of the most exciting things for any fan of the franchise. but, that excitement would turn into a great sadness and the movie was roasted by critics, and forgotten by the general audience, favoring seeing a Disney movie or a new MCU film. however, five years after the movie bombed in the box office, what can we learn from it's failure, and talk about if the movie really isn't as bad as critics may say. does this movie deserve a second chance? is it underrated?

Power Rangers 2017 is Riverdale of this franchise.
Lol Riverdale😂
Bingo
More like a glorified reboot of The Breakfast Club crossed with a generic superhero movie!
Bingo 😩
OH GOD 💀
My main problem with this movie is that they did Power Rangers but without the silliness & camp, the things that make Power Rangers special.
true
Mighty Boring Power Rangers.
I wouldn’t go that far lol
Blue rangers representing autism spectrum was my favorite part of that film it’s a understatement to say we need more people who are on the spectrum that can be role models
Everyone was more crazy for LGBT Trini than Autistic Billy. Still today.
Imagine if he had a little sister and her name was Ayesha? Like the next Yellow Ranger in Mighty Morphin.
@@suzygirl1843 eh I’m not entirely sure that could work but know what we can dream
Wat 🤢🤮
I didn’t even know that. I searched it on google after reading this comment & it says that it was true. I didn’t know that he was autistic in the film but you’re right, it was good representation.
The cast was fine but I will die on this hill and say that they should’ve been an original team from the get go. New characters, new villain, new Zords, new everything. The 2017 movie needed a “Jurassic World” reset. It was already 20 years after the Turbo movie so they could’ve set the world cinematically off of that and build upon it.
Why not just call It Lightning Force Rangers or something like that, and come up with a New Team?
because NOSTALGIA.
@@richardtracy8242 because reboots are easier cash grabs
As someone who enjoyed the film I honestly kind of sad we never got a sequel for it .
Same, I wanted to see the green ranger and Zed and other stuff
Same
I really liked that movie; the only issues I had with it was Goldar being made of molten gold (WHAT) and the Zords didn't look that great
Since when a cat knight become a molten gold
@@knowledgeispower2344*monkey. Goldar is an alien monkey
the worst part is that they used their powers only before they morphed, after they morphed they barely used their powers apart from leaving the ship which defeats the whole reason for morphing in the first place. the other problem is that they only morph towards the end of the movie and there was not enough action in it apart from the end
The problem with this movie like most other movies during that time and that was instead of making a good movie to stand in its own insteadusing the first movie to set up the rest of the franchise. The fact that they didn’t morph as a team till the third act was the wrong move.
I Love Power Rangers 2017, and still believe that a More “Adult/Modern” Power Rangers Movie or TV show could Work- Hell, it should have been a Series
Ngl I agree Kamen rider a thing and even that is darker than powerangers
A series would have been better than what we got from the movie
Ditto
That’s what I plan on doing. I’m doing concepts for my own, mature, young adult PR seasons. Coming along well nicely.
@@JcgLounge I have the same idea. I will try to mix with the idea of the multiverse and have all power rangers interact.
Looking at the Japan box office, it should be also noted that even Super Sentai movies that came out the same year as Power Rangers 2017 did ended up doing better openings at the box office as well
I saw the movie in theaters on opening day and thought it was okay. I liked the chemistry between the rangers and Billy was great. Definitely butchered Goldar and I am not the biggest fan of the Megazord design. The individual Zords are good, just not when they came together. I also wish they included more of the theme song than just 8 seconds.
Is story wise this movie as a master piece because of how they go in depth to the characters. Zack is the irresponsible rowdy kid but in reality he is caring just like when we see his sick mom. Billy is a bit childish but he is smart and an interesting character because he is friendly and funny, I almost cried seeing billy dying since he carried the squad.
The cast is sooo underrated imo! I'm with you, as a whole the movie was mid-grade but the potential was there. I love seeing all of the former rangers in various shows'/movies! Lets hope Hasbro learned from Saban's mistakes.
Yes, Hasbro, Eone, Netflix and Paramount Pictures will learn from Saban’s mistakes for the next Power Rangers movie to take place over two decades after Power Rangers in Space ended and pretend the 2017 movie never happened.
So basically it failed in Japan because it was closer to MCU than the original Sentai, which honestly makes a good amount of sense.
I have to agree that the biomechanical look of the zords just doesn't quite sit right. They're not bad they're just not great.
You know your “Power Rangers” movie sucks when even Japan hates it!
@Predator_wolf or the 2007 Optimus Prime from the Transformers movie and its four sequels (thankfully, the Bumblebee movie had the Optimus Prime design stayed true to the original classic Generation one design.)
Michael Bay megazords lol
My headcannon of Power Rangers is that Wizards got tired of fighting evil, so they hired engineers to have it automated.
Same thing with the suits too. They did the whole power rangers but, what if it took place in the real world angle and, that just doesn't work with power rangers because it requires the world to be almost completely fantastical to operate. Otherwise you'd have to question far to many key pillars of the show and, it collapses like this movie does.
Ultimately I think it's biggest problem isn't poor marketing or questionable toys. It's that it's a generic superhero film with power ranger trappings and window dressing. Rita looks like a Marvel villain, Goldar is a giant mute as opposed to a giant beast with skill and battle wit that actually puts the rangers on their toes. The putties have the most potential as a redesign but nothing is done with it (a separate rant) and the rangers themselves look like Warframes and Ironman suits hate banged new life into their Galactibeast-forsaken universe.
Going back to the rangers: There's a single line that sort of implies the powers gravitated toward each ranger individually but when the powers have virtually nothing to differentiate them, it means nothing. In the original show Zordon explained what all their powers were and why the individual rangers got what they got in specific. Hell, Dulcea does that in the '95 movie. He continues this trend when they get their weapons or new whatevers half the time.
This movie just gives the ranger characters the colors their old versions had because.... Because. Why does Jason have a sword but no one else has any kind of personal weapon? No idea. Why is all the action against CGI abominations instead of costumed people? IDK.
Rather than make a new kind of Power Rangers, they made Power Rangers more a more generic capeflick, which made it blend into an already growing inundation of such films. And that is the core of the problem.
I do like the film. It's very good. But that is an aspect worth talking about. Rather than lean into tokusatsu, the IP's roots, it rejected them for... What reason? Mass appeal? It probably would have appealed more if was less generic.
I always thought that Rita in the movie looked more like Jade from Mortal Kombat.
It failed because we were in the neo saban era evict was the worst era of power rangers, there was no way the public was gonna take the movie seriously after what Saban was putting out there
I would really like a lightning collection team pack of the 2017 MMPR. That’s what I’m officially calling this team.
No
I absolutely loved this movie. They did what marvel movies did back 15 years ago. They gave a true orgin story. Now they know audiences want things to move along fast. They don't want to watch an hour of them getting their powers they just want it to start with action. But that's what the sequel could have been.
It should have never been an origin story to begin with. That was a terrible idea because the whole point of the power rangers is that they are paragons of virtue who always stand up for what's right. We need more time building up the story of them taking up the power and, using it rather than a high school drama. The movie was completely devoid of the soul of power rangers akin to the fantastic four movies. They just miss the mark because they don't understand the medium.
@@joshuareynolds23 Honestly I think they tried to do what fans had been pushing for for years. People kept saying they wanted more mature and gritty, and they gave that to us. It wouldn't of been gritty with the way the show portrayed the school. I get it if some people didn't like it, but I think they delievered exactly what people SAID they wanted, but ultimately just wanted the original cast.
@@mightymorphinconspiracythe5024 I'd say its more that a very small subsection of fans want power rangers to be more adult. But, they don't mean they want it to get the dark knight treatment. They mean they want them to deal with adult themes and, discuss the fall out of being a child soldier. But, you still have to understand the themes of the thing you are adapting. Turning it into a highschool drama first and, foremost completely misses the point. That's why the original cast is so well respected they were paragons of virtue so it makes sense that they were the ones chosen.
This Power Rangers movie feels like it is embarrassed to be based on Power Rangers. I get the desire to make Power Rangers more mature and gritty (even if that goes against the source material) but MCU films appeal to every age demo without this insistence on what counts as mature and non-cheesy. It doesn’t adapt the show it is based on. The Power Rangers 1995 movie is still a proper big screen adaptation of the Power Rangers TV show. A modern PR movie should be more like Bumblebee.
Great video btw.
The problem with the movie I think is that I felt sometimes that it was kind of apologetic of being something out of PR franchise, like show me some suits, mindblowing fantastic action, colors, a Megazord that looks like a mecha and that looks like the original (have we no learned anything from Bayformers?), I mean look at Cobra Kai, that series is like an 80s movie, then feels like a parody, to then feel grounded due to the script, and its a Success, everyone would have laughed if someone told them that of all the 80s and 90s franchises that are getting remade/rebooted, (Ik its now a reboot), Karate Kid would be the succesful one, I dont have a problem with the cast or their characters though, but it really felt overly edgy sometimes, instead of being light and fun, with a ton of heart and love for the franchise they are adapting, PR has an amazing potencial with the amount of Sci Fi/Superhero content that is on demand rn, and no franchise has the team, colorful, giant machines that combine into a more giant robot, wacky carismatic villain aspect like PR
At least the Bayformers actually showed the transformations. This movie can't even do that.
It’s pretty simple why it flopped and that’s because most non Ranger fans didn’t care and didn’t ask for it and you had things like justice League,Thor 3,Spider-Man homecoming,Wonder Woman and even LEGO Batman leading the charge for superhero movies in 2017 and they just didn’t promote it correctly and when they did it was too late
And it just tried to hard to attract a certain audience
I wasn’t impressed.
The Zords…. Wow, they are a mess.
The zordon bit at the beginning…..
Rita repulsa being the green ranger….
Nah.
The ranger suits…
I tried to just watch it as a film.
More it went on, more I disliked it.
I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t great.
And the Megazord… that’s a travesty.
Goldar too…. Just why?!
Wasn’t something I’ve watched again since.
5 years already.
This should've been called Emo-Rangers.
It was less like the 1998 Godzilla movie from Emmerich and Devilin which was a piece of trash.
@@richardtracy8242 good name for them
Same
It sucked and i had a blank reaction seeing the movie
I thought it would be good
And it turned out disappointing
As someone who grew up watching the original MMPR the 2017 movie to me felt like it lacked everything that makes power rangers well power rangers
I remember the original actors for tommy and billy speaking out on the movie on how the rangers were a bunch of delinquent rather than a bunch of teens with attitudes…or somethin like that
They were. It's a Mystery to me why they were picked to be Power Rangers at all.
i guess zack is kind of a teen with attitude because he takes care of a sick mother
I actually went to this toy store back in February and I still found some of the toys being sold on clearance. The fact that the toys released in late 2016 - early 2017 and I managed to find them in 2022 surprised me.
I felt the toys were not that good
@@zeokingsilver They had a lot of detail missing from them, which didn't fit with the realistic designs of everything in the movie.
@@jakek6090 which is why they should have kept it simple cause the toys were a mess
There were some elements from this movie I truly enjoyed. I was on board for the modern costumes but not on board with the MegaZord. To me it looked like Optimus Prime with some wings. Also I loved the idea of Rita was the Green Ranger. It actually helps make sense out of the original show because I used to wonder how did Rita get the Green Power Coin. Well if she was the Green Ranger that would make sense that she would have it. I’ll admit I have only watched this movie twice but I did enjoy it enough that I think about rewatching it again before I decide to just play video games instead.
I know I’m late to the game, but Billy will forever be my favorite character from this 2017 Power Rangers film. I know people didn’t like it, but I still have a great time watching the film. As a huge Power Rangers fan myself, I’ve seen it more times than I’d like to admit, and I overall wish we could’ve gotten a follow up to this series. It does have its flaws and at the same time it has good qualities that make it very unique and different than the original series from the 90’s.
TBH I Myself Got Dissapoint About Goldar He Is Supposed Tobe A Gorilla Man With Gold Armor As I Can Remember
This movie made Haim Saban sad.
so far I have seen it once. i down hate it. like how they tried to bring it back to its roots when it came to the original power rangers with a reboot dark tone basically. wish goldar was more like goldar in the series. showed a little more of the morphin sequence. in compare I think I like the original power rangers the movie that came out years ago maybe more but that movie wasnt perfect either. both had good soundtracks. will see if they do a better reboot in the future.
I was so hyped for this movie only for it to be one of the worst things I've ever seen
I wouldn't call Saban the original creator since he created the American version of the show. The original was aired in Japan during the 1970s. The American version released in 1993 is the 16th season of the original Japanese show called Super Sentai. When Saban released it, he used the original footage mixed with new footage filmed in the US. Saban would not have Power Rangers without Japan, just as Henry Ford would not have Ford Motors without Mercedes.
I feel like this movie is an excellent example of the sum of its parts being greater than the whole. There were a lot of really good ideas and concepts in it, and the acting was reasonably solid (with one exception), but it needed a much stronger cohesive narrative and a better balance of action vs. character development.
Billy was my favorite character in the movie, with Trini being a close second. I loved Billy because he just came off as such an incredible role model, and the most likely to be chosen a true hero. Trini was the most relatable to me on a personal level, as I know what it feels like to be misunderstood by your seemingly "normal" family.
Unfortunately, Rita was the worst part of the entire movie. I liked the idea of her being the former green ranger, but Elizabeth Bank's performance was just AWFUL. It honestly came off as her not knowing whether she was supposed to take the material seriously or not. On the one hand, you've got an incredibly tense scene where she confronts Trini at her house, but then you juxtapose it with a scene of her sitting down to eat a donut. Banks is over here going "is this movie a parody, or not?" So you get this tonal dissonance in her acting, almost like she wasn't chewing the scenery enough.
Aww the memories, 2017. What a throwback of a movie, but I'll admit that This Movie was doomed in the Long run. 🤷🏾♂️ The Director and Writers were bad choices for handling this project. Because they really Had a Gold Mine of a Screen writer, the GOAT "Max Landis" who's a talented writer who worked on the Indie hit sci fi movie "Chronicle" 🤙🏾 loved that movie back in 2012. Fun fact: Max Landis was hired to write the script for the movie back in 2013, unfortunately they fired him and hired a Generic screen writer and ripped off his Movie script of Chronicle meets The Breakfast club. 🤦🏾♂️ go figure
I think the biggest problem with the film was that there was a disconnect between advertising and the film itself. They were cashing in on nostalgia to get asses in seats, but when those fans went and saw the movie, they got an origin story where the characters aren't even power rangers for most of the movie, it felt like the theme song was thrown in on top of the megazord coming together as an afterthought, and the megazord barely looks like the megazord it looks way too "Michael Bay transformers"
Yeah, the fact that they weren't even power Rangers for the most part was utterly disappointing to me, too.
13:40 About that dude,fun fact,he will make a concert in my country, Malaysia 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾 very soon because he was very popular there...
they should have embraced the inherent silliness of Power Rangers and Tokusatsu in general
This was a Power Ranger Movie for Normies, Who didn't care anyway.
Este!! Much love mi homie keep them videos coming good content every time
The 2017 Power Rangers movie was pretty good. I would like to see more movies with the 2017 cast.
I liked the movie but the ball was definat ly dropped, I think they just had the wrong people behind it making wth wrong decisions.
I believe whole heartily that a MAJOR reason for this movie's flopping was taking inspiration from Michael Bay's Transformers design. Bumblebee PROVED that making the Transformers as "simply" designed as the OG 80's cartoon was NOT inherently a bad thing. That Cybertron Scene in the Beginning Of Bumblebee was enough to make fans almost cream themselves on the spot. The over-complicated thousands of moving mechanical parts was just TOO much. Often you didn't even KNOW a certain Transformer was IN the movie without either Captions for their name or by sitting through the credits. I mean who could guess that the little hyper-active freak thing was Frenzy? A mini Decepticon that should have come out of Soundwave BTW.
Using that style of Robotics was a bad decision. As was making the Zords LOOK Alien. I get that Zordon actually IS an alien, but you'd think that being on Earth and making Giant Robots resemble dinosaurs the idea in order to NOT draw attention to oneself that said Robot dinosaurs WOULD blend in. The fact that they actually LOOK like Yeagers is disgusting. Most importantly, aside from Billy, NONE of the characters have anything resembling personalities. They're all just stereotypes. And they aren't really all that decent people. Well okay maybe it's just Jason and Kimberly that are shitty people. Zack is taking care of a sick mother and Trini deals with a homophobic family who think she's on drugs. But essentially the movie lacks any kind of soul.
I agree. Power Rangers 2017 is less Power Rangers and more Transformers. I mean Outcast is a rip-off of Star Wars and Chaos Walking is a rip-off of Spider-Man. Alliance/eOne has not made an original property since The Hunger Games. This studio will soon go bankrupt because of these rip-off movies.
@@angusng816 I hate cheap knockoffs
The Krispy Kreme advertising in the movie made Nostalgia Critic buy Dunkin Donuts 🍩 😅
Hello, Este. I must confess: the score by Brian Tyler is what I love the best about the 2017 movie reboot of the "Power Rangers."
that song with Vince Staples too is sumn i think about
I'm pretty much in agreement with you. I liked the 2017 movie, but it had it's problems. Also, one of the biggest missed opportunities was not inviting Paul Schrier (the actor who played Bulk in the show) to cameo as Ernie at Krispy Kreme. Also, do you have any plans on doing a video on the board game "Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid?" I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
I feel like 100% American made takes on tokusatsu and anime IP's (like Anerican reboots of British sitcoms) are hit-or-miss, and the producers can't figure out what the heck went wrong.
There was a lot and I think you covered it well, though like you I still really enjoy the film, and bummed that we haven't gotten more. (I'm still iffy on the rumors with the next film and am like..."is this..gonna be a fanservice fest?").
While I get the..disappointedness with the helmets open during the zord scenes, i kinda appreciated why they did that? Notably that we would still be able to see their reactions and emotions better than with the helmets on during those sequences.
It's tough for me, because some of complaints I had waded through before felt very..."this adaptation didn't do xyz exactly like how it feels in my favorite thing"..as if it needs to be exactly the same. I've seen it with Marvel films as well, and other stuff where it feels like a change is criticized because..it was a change regardless of it's place in the story. The one Peter Parker in Into the Spider-verse still bugs me, but I'd be remiss to say that it doesn't work for the story they told. It's something I need to be careful of, because generalizations like that are not good things to do and there are valid points on some of those things.
The cast in the movie was incredible
ONLY Decent Acors in It Were:
#DacreMontgomery As JasonLee
(Of #StangerThings As Billy) &
#LudiLin As Asian #ZackTaylor
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludi_Lin Who Was Last Seen As #LiuKang in
The #MortalKombat Reboot.
As #BryanCranston Didn't Even
Play Zordon woth ANY Empathy?
Really well done review! I just saw it again today for the second time. I agree with most of what you said. I definitely enjoyed it more than I remembered and I was happy accepting it as a starting point for future films because I loved the cast and the overall premise of the movie. I don't agree with all the hate BUT I also understand alot of critiques. 7/10 for me.
I didn't care for the film. The cast being a recast of the OGs felt off to me. Zordon was a selfish prick up till the end. The Zords were actually worse than the first movie. And yeah, the overall costume design was bad.
Whenever I tell people at work who bring doughnuts "the source all all life is buried there", I get blank looks.
No proper Megazord transformation sequence? The only part they really needed for the first PR team was a Megazord that takes forever to stand up. It delivered that, at least. In between the good campy moments, it was a filler movie. ("Once and Always" was much, much better, even for being not at all being fun and games. Just short of camp, there's heroic fantasy, and that part was there. Not in the 2017 movie.)
Lmao it did fail! But in my opinion the movie was good!
My favourite ranger in this movie: Jason.
Thank you for this analysis, now I can do better!
Being a fan of power rangers since MMPR came out in 93, this movie was not good. It dragged out for too long and it took an hour or more into the movie for them to be in their suits. The CGI for the Zords were poor considering the CGI in 1995 was hilariously bad
I'm a fan of the original series and only thing that I want was a Tommy in the movie wearing something green
I gotta say I definitely did enjoy it. Not just as a PR fan but as a movie lover. Seen it 3 times in theaters lol. Marketing definitely screwed with future films and the release date was just terrible. Beauty and the Beast, Guardians of the Galaxy, Kong Skull Island, and Logan. Of course people wouldnt see Power Rangers when those were out. But aside from that it was still a great film. Yes the flaws are there. Yes the best parts were saved for the last act, but I respect the fact this film was meant to be an origin and I like the mature approach while keeping it silly still. I'm sure the second film if they made it would of felt more like Power Rangers and included more action and suit time. The suits and Zord designs looked fine to me aside from the Mastadon design. The helmets needed to look more like the dinos tho. Sad we wont get the sequel I'm very curious how it would of played out. And Billy was forsure the best one. I'll always cherish this film as a PR fan.
The "billy death/resurrection" total tearjerker every time
FAX
I hope they will have a sequel so that they can show more about their powers and teamwork
Yeah .. I wish too ... All of the cast have the potential..
I enjoyed it! And I've seen worse movies get sequels 😅 im still holding out hope for one🤞🏽
The sequels would’ve been fire tho because they’d already power rangers. I feel like the main reason that it wasn’t liked is because they weren’t actual power rangers for that long of a time.
Billy was the heart and soul of the film which is fitting because he was in the show too. The cast was good. the product placement was awful. The tone was confusing but I got what the goal was. I would like to see the universe continue in comics because it really had a unique and good set up in its world building.
The suits were meh the zords meh and Goldar was terrible. These things could all be fixed in a comic or sequel though.
Movie super sucked 😑. Because they did stick to the story line. Jason never got arrested, Zack didn't have swag, Kim was goofy, Trini was corny and Billy wasn't black lol 😆. The costumes where whack and Tommy being introduced was boring. They should have introduced the Lord Drakkon story line...
My favourite power ranger in this movie was Zack, because he has sort of my personality, he does crazy stuff and I do sometimes too
It's bright and fun and doesn't look like any climactic fight of a superhero movie in recent memory. It is also, jaw-droppingly, one long Krispy Kreme commercial - the Power Rangers product-placement game is strong. This movie is out of its goddamn mind.
Should've been called the Krispy Kreme Rangers.
ANYTHING Going Against ANY
#GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Film
Was Going To EPICLY FAIL...HARD!
5 years later and I still like it! Big up to the Blue Ranger he really saved the film 🎥!!!!!!
Saban really did a number on the movie it just failed like a math test my god
LMAO
Awesome video 👍 Este but I only watched half of it but I lost interest and just sticking to the legacy wars game but other than that thanks for the update Este
LOL
I enjoyed the movie as well! I wish they would have had more action scenes while in their suits though. I honestly think the Krispy Kreme scenes were the best part
I absolutely love the 2017 movie. The cast in my opinion was perfect and showing the characters in a more gritty light was interesting. Becky in particular as Trini was a highlight for me as I was able to connect with her more than Kim who is my favourite Ranger. It really should have gotten it’s sequel
You could not be a movie judge🤣
Tbh I hate this movie. Goldar being a molten figure of jewelry and gold is trash. The story takes foreverrrrrr to take off and be intriguing. The suits and zords are horrendous. ZORDON, the kind mentor became an asshole. So many things are just disposable and forgetful. They tried to save it by adding cameos but even their two seconds of appearance aren’t worth anything
I loved the film. I loved the designs of the suits and Zords. I loved the look of the Megazord and Rita as well. I thought Goldar's design worked for the movie and what they were going for. I loved the cast and soundtrack.
In my opinion, this movie tried way too hard to be realistic. Power Rangers will always have silly elements to it. It's an inevitably. When this film came out, I looked at those designs and I hated it. Power Rangers shouldn't come across as muted. It should be brighter with more humor. Seasons like In Space, RPM, and Time Force balanced being serious and funny without making everything dark, gray, and ugly. I think it was a mistake to reuse the characters from MMPR. I can't look at these characters and not picture MMPR. If I hear the name Zach, my mind instantly goes to Walter Jones. When I hear Billy, my mind goes to David Yost. When I picture Rita Repulsa, I picture a witch from space who's wardrobe would make Queen Amidala blush. Power Rangers should be over the top.
I tried watching it once, but I think it felt a bit too slow for me. I think I considered turning it off and watching it another time more than once, but decided that, just maybe, there would be something that would make keeping it on worth it later on. I honestly can't remember whether or not that something came, but I'm fairly sure that I would remember it if it did.
Power Rangers(2017) failed in that the movie team didn't bring anything new about the film. You must a loyal fan to sit through the whole film.
can u do a video about the paleomax ranger from rpm
Best video for this topic on YT! Bravo!
thank u!!!
The 2017 movies we don't talk about It just like Yamcha's true power from the Dragon Ball series we also don't talk about It 😂
While I not seen the film but from the sounds of it, the attempt to setup a cinematic universe with the first film was a part of its undoing, plus trying to make it more adult like, besides, I don't think the suit desgins and the zords were really helpful in getting attention, I would say the Megazord is one of the ulgiest desgins ever and I really think they should of gone with something more akin to how Power Rangers started off with, it would of likely gotten a bit more attention, of course, where they released it wasn't going to help as it was going up against a Marvel movie when Marvel was riding high!
I feel as if they're purposely crapping on my guy Goldie. In the movie and that dreadful goldar maximus.
It's been a while since I've seen it, but I think I've watched it about 4 times? And yes, we need new 6 inch scale figures of the 2017 Power Rangers... And also my favorite character from the movie is Jason 👍
Zack looks more like Adam in 2017 movie, and Zack didn’t do some hiphop kido stuff😢
I rewatched this last night and I’m sad we never got that sequel
The Toys Seriously Were
#PegWarmers Til' About 2021...

Around $6 Each...So I Passed.)
I feel like Kermit too.
Yes...they hinted at Tommy being a girl and she ends up with Trini and I was here for that! Jason and Kimberly were still together, but they just changed the colors and would introduce a new relationship amongst the Rangers.
i really enjoyed the movie an actually own it on dvd. I think another reason why i think it failed was cause a lot of adults were think it was just going to be a cheesy b movie like the first season of MMPR and were kind of thrown off by a more serious take on the show like the seasons that followed mmpr. These movie felt more like Day of the Dumpster than anything so i could forgive the lack of action for the most part but i do wish each ranger had a unique weapon rather than just a sword. Overall really loved the movie and would have liked to see where it would have gone
Great video Este, I liked the film but it could've been better.
Not enough Power Rangers Action. Kind of Boring. And Blatant Product Placement as well.
I remember really enjoying this movie when it came out but i only recently when getting back in to the show found out it wasnt popular
This movie was the greatest thing about the Neo Saban Era. Dino Charge/Dino SuperCharge was the only good season in Neo Saban. Ninja Steel is mediocre. The rest are awful seasons.
Another reason it failed was the language you can make something dark without them bad words .
My thing is there were some dark elements in this movie they should’ve imitated marvel and not DC
I hated the movie! The acting was good, but the story made no sense and had almost nothing to do with the original source material! And I saw it twice! Once in the theater and the other time on TV!
I competly loved power rangers 2017 but i so wish we would of seen tommy i really hope that we get another one that reveals tommy as the new green ranger
Goldar, putty, zord and megazord are garbage. They should've as Toei and Bandai design it. It wasn't necessary to add slow motion.
The megazord looking like goldar was canon and supposed to due to it supposed to take the form of the most powerful thing on earth at the time which was goldar
I actually liked the movie as different as it was it kinda played out like a power rangers episode I just wish we got to see them morphed longer I think Rita repulsa was the best part of the movie I mean Rita showed up she hadn't even planned she released her monsters and at the end she said make my monster grow and then they had a megazord sequence they could have done it better but for what it was also I didn't like the way the zords looked personally I feel like we needed that second movie more time in the suits whenever their version of Tommy was and with a better understanding of being a power ranger and an introduction of Lord zedd
It definitely should have had the original cast. They could have done the same story that _Once And Always_ did on Netflix, but have the ENTIRE cast.
Well, the movie had the potential to be a A-list. But two things stand out which were the cause of its flop
1. There was too much emphasis on the rangers character development as normal people and not focusing on the action properly.
2. There wasn't a proper morphing sequence which was a big mistake. But the biggest mistake was the lack of zord to megazord transformation. If that was done properly like any power rangers franchise, it could have had higher marks. All in all, the idea and concept was excellent. But the execution was bluntly terrible.
My personal opinion on why it failed was that it opened against the Live action Beauty and the Beast remake. No way they would be successful with that competition.
I watched it in theaters opening weekend. I didn't like how Billy ruined one of the only 2 good parts of the movie. When they took took off in the Zords. Just to follow it up with some rap trash for the fight. Personaly they should have used the Go Go Power Rangers theme, as the Rangers were walking out of Zordon's ship fully Morphed. It was awesome to see that JDF had grown his hair out for his and Amy Jo Johnson's cameo. Too bad they couldn't/wouldn't get more of the OG Rangers to cameo. Sure I own it on DVD. Just to have it to complete the collection of Power Rangers movies.
As someone who has seen it about….5 times total! 3 times on DVD and 2 times in the theater. I can say….That it could’ve been better, and I still enjoy it if I want to have a darker tone in Power Rangers. (Which I am in the mood for.)
In China, It looked like Shady marketing practices. In Japan, All I see is confusion because Barely anyone in Japan knows what Power Rangers are. Not to mention having someone new to being a director at the time….well…That is also a flop as not only the toys felt cheap, but the Staff was as well.
Did I enjoy it? Yeah, to some extent. As a Story-writer…I feel that it could’ve been written better to feel somewhat connected to the Main Universe, but My story in comparison feels much smoother then that train wreck movie.
While I do think the movie has a few flaws, I thought it was still great. While my friends and family think the show is a bit stupid, I showed them this movie and they loved it. I wish the sequels weren’t canceled. We could’ve seen Dylan O’Brien, Booboo Stewart or also Howard as Tommy Oliver. I’m pretty sure the final movie would’ve adapted Countdown to Destruction and with that, it would’ve felt similar to Infinity War. I hope that the next movie successfully goes down that route because this movie had great potential.
