Nonureva Really Surprised!

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

swilliky With cheesy costumes, cheap special effects, corny dialogue, amateur acting, and a simple plot, the Power Rangers took to the big screen with a mix of new cast members and some from the show. I don't recall much of the Power Ranger lore but I do remember highly enjoying this edition of the morphing teenagers and their strange villains. This story begins with the colorful gang jumping out of a plane leaving behind their bullies. The new leader Tommy (Jason David Frank) the White Ranger has a complicated history. From what I remember he was the Green Ranger for a bit and a bad guy, then he was good, and then he became the White Ranger. I recall this story arc capturing my imagination as a kid.Kimberly (Amy Jo Johnson) was the Pink Ranger and had some romantic relations with whoever the leader was, at this point it is the White Ranger but I think there was something going on with the Red Ranger at some point but that might have been different than Rocky (Steve Cardenas). Billy (David Yost) is a returning member as the dorky Blue Ranger. Rounding out the team are the Aisha (Karan Ashley) the Yellow Ranger and Adam (Johnny Yong Bosch). They each have an animal power: the Red Tyrannosaurus Rex, Yellow Sabertooth Tiger, Black Mastodon, Pink Pterodactyl, Blue Triceratops, and the White Tiger. These are especially confusing as they get new animals when they travel to a far off land like Black Frogs, Yellow Bear, White Falcon, Pink Crane, the Blue Wolf, and Red Ape.Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com

Matthew Johnny Starting right off the bat with skydiving and rollerblading, we're introduced to a group of friends that has essentially become a family and found joy in adventure with each other. Then, the sadistic, sarcastic, vengeful Ivan Ooze shows up and destroys their command center, nearly kills Zordon, and the rangers lose their powers.While there isn't a heavy amount of character introspection a la 'Stand By Me', this simple adventure story has emotional depth. When the rangers find Zordon nearly dead, Kimberly says, "Zordon, you've always been like a father to us." As we never see the ranger's parents, Zordon is the father figure that the ranger's love. As the ranger's journey across the universe to save him, Ivan Ooze uses mind control to turn the parents of Angel Grove into his slaves, constructing the machines of their own demise. After the parents complete their work, Ivan orders them to all commit suicide at the same time. The children of Angel Grove team up to save their parents. So we have parallel stories of kids trying to save their parents- one from murder, the rest from self-destruction. While not told in an adult way, it's adult material.Today, every franchise movie is over-stuffed with phony character development that is meant to set up the next movie. There is no more respect for the film currently being made because it's not trending. But in MMPR the Movie, when the kids band together pushing desperately and feebly against the mass of parents trying to walk off of a cliff, and the ranger's are losing the battle against Ivan Ooze even in their new megazord, we FEEL something for each of them. We don't need anyone to have a raging vengeful plan or a ridiculous emotional plot twist -- we just need everyone to make it in the end. And when everyone succeeds, the audience does too.The moment that sums up the feeling of the movie is the ending. When the city celebrates its rescue thanks to the Power Rangers, fireworks go up, we see Tommy and Kimberly hold each other for the first time, and then Van Halen's "Dream" carries us into the fireworks. Nothing beats that amazing feeling of family, teamwork and success through so much adversity. I love this movie much in the way the previous generation looks to Superman The Movie or Star Wars as that life-changing film experience. 10 out of 10 for me.

prestonwardcondra This movie is all over the place and while it's notches better than the Power Rangers Turbo movie, that isn't saying much.At times the movie is exhilarating and fun to watch. The opening skydiving sequence with all six of the Power Rangers was very well made.The antagonist of the film, Ivan Ooze was alright. Other times, I shake my head in disbelief in that that could of done so much more with the Power Rangers license and made it better.The part where the Rangers lost their powers and became ninjas I just wasn't too fond of.I don't even know. I just wished the Power Rangers fought more than just generic baddies and putties in the film. You think Tommy could of had an epic showdown with Rita Repulsa or something. Speaking of which, it's worth noting Tommy and Kim are basically the only two Power Rangers that get any sort of screen time. The other four Rangers are just kinda there.It's completely mindless fun to watch but at the same time, that's why this is just a mediocre film (at best) and that no one other than kids past the age of 10 will find something to enjoy here.

kallam-reid How is this absolute cliché 90's movie rated so low clearly anyone who loved the original series should re-watch this movie. sure its cheesy and predictable but its a bloody kids movie of course it is when you grow up. the weird thing is when i re-watched this, when i was 20 years old just to see if as a kid i had good taste and to relive what i loved as a kid and it me least 10 beers of courage to watch it.but after that i watch it and was really cut up about how low this was rated.the sight of seeing that this is rated so low made me write this. sure it fills every 90's cliché in the book but that's what it is. this is the 90's movie, when i become a father that i will tell my kids to watch. i was a fantastic movie for any 90's kid that was a fan of the TV show. when you grow up a little you see the smaller things you respect the villains and remember how they use to haunt you. great movie for what they had to work with and a movie you respect with age if you were born in the 90's.
