I really enjoyed it.
All the nostalgia you want, you GET. The actors who played the Rangers were all REALLY good, damn RJ Cyler just may be the best Ranger ever.He was hilarious, had heart and I feel really embodied what the fans feel for the franchise. Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Banks were really good. Cranston bought a dramatic tone that I REALLY wasn't expecting and Elizabeth Banks did the complete reverse with a really over the top villain that actually worked for me, lol.
The story was straightforward and what you'd expect. The best part of the film was actually the build-up which is what people seemed to be concerned about. It really gave the Rangers a real backstory and a reason for them to come together.
I really like the high school scenes, they really used that element well.
The geek-out moments? Fan-tas-tic. Which leads on to my criticisms. The geek out moments were so good, it leaves you wanting more. Could you imagine leading up to this film and all its anticipations, that what would arguably be the biggest problem is not enough action (as Power Rangers)? One of the key parts of the original series would be the...
Threat arrives >>> the un-morphed Rangers engage and hold their own for a little while >>> they morph, fight and then the big bad threat arrives >>> Zords fight
I hoped they would have stuck to that to a degree because there wasn't enough of the kids fighting when shyt was at stake.
Overall, it's a solid movie man. It has its flaws but very easily solved in a possible sequel.
but going through Imdb since I stopped after tommy became the white ranger, had no idea there was so many cast changes and the OG group was basically only there for two years lol
nikka ashley from in space like the baddest who been on the show
