[Ruien]

They got the blue and black ranger mixed up.

[Kalyx triaD]

How?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Just a comment that "Zack" is Asian in this and "Billy" is Black. PC Police Strikes Back. Maybe they are making the Black Ranger Adam?

If they want to keep the PC Police at bay further they need to have Rita be played by an Asian.

[Sixx]

I'm kinda sick of Melissa McCarthy already.

[Sixx]

Cast that guy that plays Apocalypse as Ivan Ooze.

I wouldn't put this on the PC police. After season one PR never cast a black person as Black and an Asian as Yellow ever again. It's likely there will never be a Native American Red for similar reasons.

And PR always made sure the teams were racially diverse. Basically there's nothing unusual about this casting.

[parkmania]

They announced that the original MMPR character names are being used for the 5.

[Kalyx triaD]

Cool.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AFTER 10000 YEARS SHE'S FREE AND IT'S TIME TO CONQUER EARTH!

That a pretty good casting. Think she'll do great.

yeah and the hispanic yellow ranger is now called trini kwan

[road doggy dogg]

original yellow ranger died in a car crash RIP

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

yeah and the hispanic yellow ranger is now called trini kwan

At least there will be boobs for her costume.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Now they just need to cast Idris Elba as Zordon.

This film now has my attention.

Decent.

[Rammsteinmad]

Looks alright. Not really sure what I was expecting.

Rita Repulsa

[ClockShot]

She almost looks like a copy of that lady villain in The Wolverine.

[Kalyx triaD]

So Apocalypse looked like Ivan Ooze and Rita looks like Viper.

The game begins.

[Shadow]

Pretty sure she stopped by the Elder Scrolls universe, grabbed some sweet glass armor and ran it through a sexy mod to get that outfit.

[Rammsteinmad]

It's different. I'll give it a chance.

[drave]

Pretty sure she stopped by the Elder Scrolls universe, grabbed some sweet glass armor and ran it through a sexy mod to get that outfit.


Lol, this is too true.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I think she was primarily cast for her voice. The look is fine sort of Divatoxish with the hair.

[Ruien]

Maybe it is because I was young but wasn't Rita super old? Not that I mind looking at this babe instead.

[Destor]

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/4/46/JamesMarstersPiccolo.jpeg/revision/latest?cb=20121115114937

Lord Zed

:shifty:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Maybe it is because I was young but wasn't Rita super old? Not that I mind looking at this babe instead.

Rita from the Sentai was 57 in 1995 when Rangers came out but her footage was from earlier than that. She died in 2008.

They used an another actress for American footage once the Sentai ran out and needed to expand. That Rita is 46 now and was 26 for her run in Power Rangers (Season 2 and on.) The voice actress remained unchanged for the run.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Old lord Zed looked better.

[drave]

Zordon should be played by Pvt. Pyle and his god damn jelly donut.

http://www.standbyformindcontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Donut.png

[Kalyx triaD]

Then zordon would literally be kingpin.

[drave]

NEW CROSSOVER!

[drave]

Daredevil becomes the new Red Ranger. Electric Nachos guest stars as the.... other color ranger.

Should have kept the horns.

[Lock Jaw]

Why does Poison Ivy have that staff?

[Rammsteinmad]

I'm liking it. I loved the original Power Rangers, but that was 20 years ago, I'm happy with a few changes here and there.

[Rammsteinmad]

Finally, the moment every 90's kid has been waiting for!

[Fignuts]

Oof

[Simple Fan]

What the hell is that. The red ranger looks like he could be Lord Zed from the neck down. Red has the best looking helmet though. Looks more like Beetle Borgs suits with Power Rangers helmets.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm fine with this. A little over done but I'm fine.

[Destor]

My only issue is i have to question how mobile they could be in those. I have to wager we see more focus on mech action than kung fu action.

[Kalyx triaD]

Oh it better have kung fu action. And not power suit brawler shit - martial arts. Just as the first movie retained. It's integral to PR.

[Destor]

Obviously we'll have to wait for the first trailer to truely tell but I have to question it...(and as a kung-fu geek I REALLY need them to be able to be mobile for this to earn my money)


Not a pre-judgement though, I'll wait for some footage.

[drave]

In b4 "ZOMG THE BOOBS ARE TOO BIG ON TEH SUITS!" complaints.

[Black Widow]

I don't have much of a problem except no Green Ranger.

[Kalyx triaD]

In b4 "ZOMG THE BOOBS ARE TOO BIG ON TEH SUITS!" complaints.

It was in fact written b4 you. Beat you by a day in the io9 article showing the pic.

I don't have much of a problem except no Green Ranger.

Likely the sequel hook. I would love an entire Green With Evil movie.

[mitchables]

apparently there's a theory that rita was the original green ranger and went rogue/got exiled by zordon for misusing her powers or something

someone did a mock-up comparison by recolouring the pink ranger next to rita, theory is that she still has remnants of her ranger suit from before being locked in the dumpster

http://i.imgur.com/1DAZ5qe.png

idk i like it. has 'potential'

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wish I didn't push that. I hate knowing everything about a movie before it happens. Why bother having movies.

[drave]

Control yourself.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It's part of the culture of movies now. It's not really about clicking on something or not. Spoilers are rampant and systematic.

[Lock Jaw]

Especially when you click on spoiler tags.

[Sixx]

It's part of the culture of movies now. It's not really about clicking on something or not. Spoilers are rampant and systematic.

So who are you mad at exactly?

You clicked it. Also, it's just a theory.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Myself for the most part but also the spoiler happy culture nowadays with movies and television.

The photo comparison made me think that it was a spot-on theory. Not like there is much thinking in plot for Power Rangers. It's probably true.

[ron the dial]

it's really easy to avoid spoilers. like, any idiot could do it easy.

[Rammsteinmad]

It's probably to do with how everything is online and connected these days. "Back in the day" people would have to buy a magazine to get any exclusive insider info on movies, and then they'd have to wait a month/fortnight for the next issue.

With the internet and social media as it is today, people want more, sooner.

I don't mind spoilers myself. Doesn't really detract anything from the movie for me. Just gets me more excited.

Yeah, I think we talked about this before. I don't mind spoilers at all. I'll sometimes even read the whole plot of the movie before seeing it. I don't need to be surprised/shocked watching the movie. If it's good it's good and that's it.

[Simple Fan]

I read plots and spoilers all the time. What I don't like is when they spoil a lot on trailers that show on TV. It's one thing to read it but when I actually see it it becomes less special in the theater. Dawn of Justice was about the worst at it.

[mitchables]

yo i am happy to not bring stuff/theories/etc like that in here but i thought it was relevant/discussion-worthy but i also respect people not wanting spoilers. like at least i used tags.

on a personal note, knowing/seeing that as a possibility makes me *more* excited for the film going in bc it's kind of a cool theory and would make a solid set-up for the previously mentioned conjectural second movie plot. good 'tie-in', as it were, because it would explain why rita knows how to get inside/bring the rangers down with a green ranger of her own

also have they cast zordon yet?

[Lock Jaw]

I can confirm that Seth82 has been cast as Zordon

Nope. It's my fault for clicking on it. You did everything right in putting it in spoiler tags. Like Ramm said I'm more upset that the internet spoils everything. It's not "easy" to avoid unless you totally turn off TV or internet until you see the movie.

[slik]

I like that theory/potential spoiler.

It adds a cool twist to the PR mythos.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Well, Rita and Zedd did turned human in the end of In Space. It could be something that they wanted to bring into the original Series. They simply decided to push that sort of story for Andromeda.

If True, I'd say Lord Zedd could be the original Red Ranger. People said earlier that Red Ranger suit looks very similar too. They might have fallen in love and Zordon saying "fuck that noise you are Jedi..I mean Power Rangers." They went nuts cause they couldn't get married because of Zordon turning them into his slaves.

[Kalyx triaD]

I am completely down with that spin on Zedd and Rita. An origin to the whole deal is untapped to this day.

[slik]

^

same, I agree w/ Kalyx

[mitchables]

i too support both std's read on it and am jazzed on any backstory we get there

like they've at least justified the costumes' look to an extent so i am actually surprisingly on board for this so far

[Sixx]

Kevin Spacey for Zordon. For some reason this sounds hilarious to me.

But on serious note, I think they're gonna cast some deep-voiced black guy.

[mitchables]

i would be 100% fine with that or any other ethnicity tbh, as long as he is bald

[Sixx]

Yeah, I don't really care about his race, that's not exactly a character that's race-specific.

But the Power Ranger's races are kinda hilarious now. A latino called Trini Kwan is just silly.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Could be adopted.

[slik]

Alec Baldwin, Gilbert Gottfried or Danny Devito for Zordon ONLY

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Avery Fucking Brooks.

[mitchables]

a thousand times yes

[zordon keeps talking about baseball]

[mitchables]

buscemi would be fittingly alien

[drave]

Private Pyle or GTFO

[mitchables]

also considered suggesting vincent d'onofrio but was worried i may have been just been subconsciously thinking about how good he was as kingpin

Bill Hader is Alpha Five. Aye Yi Yi this cast is morphenomenal!

Alec Baldwin, Gilbert Gottfried or Danny Devito for Zordon ONLY

Gilbert Gottfried as Zordon would be incredible! :D

[Blonde Moment]

Gilbert Gottfried would make a good Dr Bong

[Ruien]

Hmmm. Not sold.

[Rammsteinmad]

Haha, I've been seriously supporting this movie and so hyped for it since it was announced.

Been reading a lot of negative reports online about the super serious tone of the teaser, and my attitude was kinda whatever. I knew it wasn't gonna be the 90's cheese we all grew up with, so let's see how the film does when it comes out.

With that said, yeah that teaser was shite haha! Nothing about it seemed overly interesting.

[Kalyx triaD]

I dug it. Seems more serious but remember Alpha 5 is still in there. We'll see how the next trailer is cut.

[Simple Fan]

I thought it was ok for a teaser trailer. Not sure what the point of morphing is if they are already super human but its not a deal breaker. Was really wanting to see the suits as I wasnt high on the pics posted but I guess I'll have to wait. I like the seriousness of it though.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Not a fan of the Spiderman feel to them having unmorphed powers. The orignals were chosen because they were all gifted. They didn't just randomly steal their Power Coins and Morphers.

Also this isn't the Breakfast Club.

Feel like they are taking too much from other media and not the show.

[Ruien]

Haha I thought of the Breakfast Club too.

[Destor]

I really need to see the suits in combat before I'll let myself form an opinion

[Destor]

But them having super strength makes me think there will be a huge lack of kung fu action

[Destor]

No kung fu = no ticket

[Lock Jaw]

Seems weird to have them be super-powered outside of the suits......

[Destor]

I can live with it...but why even have the suits in all honesty. Might add defensive abilities i dunno

[Rammsteinmad]

Without the suits it would just be Heroes: The Movie.

[Simple Fan]

I can live with it...but why even have the suits in all honesty. Might add defensive abilities i dunno

I'm the same. Also the suits give them their weapons I guess. Really want to see the suits in action as well.

[Destor]

Without the suits it would just be Heroes: The Movie.

No not from a meta stand point. The lore itself, if theyre super powered why do they need the suits.

[Shadow]

Ok...sold.

[Black Widow]

All the fanboys bitching about the tone.. stfu this isn't near the campiness of the original.

[RP]

Black Widow can you confirm for me if the original Black Ranger is in the movie and does he steal the show?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He better be. We riot if there is no Hip-Hop Aikido.

[Fignuts]

Looks like a lotta scenes withthem out of costume.

Hoping this isn't a fantasic 4 situation where they spend the whole movie doing stupid boring bullshit, and have one fight in costume at tbe end.

Rita looks cool tho. Only thing that's got me hyped from that trailer.

Think that is the plan.
!5-20 min in full gear plus another 5 or so of the zoids

[Kalyx triaD]

Just wanna say rangers had powers out of suits since the Disney era shows. It actually adds to it well.

They still get a massive boost while morphed. Also secret identity, armor, gear, etc all that post morphed stuff.

[Rammsteinmad]

Merchandise. :y:

[KIRA]

Ok I'm officially curious

Thats silly. I can deal, but i dislike it.

[Shadow]

Also digging the Kimberly change up. Making her a Bisexual is a very strong choice.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

huh?

[Fignuts]

The hell did you get that from?

[Simple Fan]

She was with Jason in the trailer. Don't think I missed any HLA in that trailer.

[Lock Jaw]

Maybe he had a dream

[Kalyx triaD]

Phantom lezzie scenes aside, hooking up Kim with Jason is a very obvious set up for a love triangle in the sequel when Tommy comes around.

Still doesn't change the fact that they stole the coins and are gatecrashing at Zordon's pad.

[Shadow]

She got a Bisexual Haircut. It was clear as day.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I don't think so. Think it was just a rebel yell.

...I mean...whatever I guess

[Frank Drebin]

What's the tone of this thing gonna be? Is it gonna be kinda "wink wink" campy or a bit more serious?

Also wondering if it's just going to be non stop action with no time to breath like a transformers movie.

Ai yi yi he''s ugly af.

[Ruien]

I don't think he was created to be attractive. I am sure Zordon cares more about his performance than getting off.

[Kalyx triaD]

He wasn't exactly the pinnacle of tech 20yrs ago either.

Zords look good, tho.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Goldar looks like Golcrap. Might as well get the real voice for him to make up for it.

[slik]

He does look pretty bad tbh

Megazord looks pretty gay as well.

[Shadow]

I have to wonder who this movie is for. Fans of the old show? Fuck no. Fans of the current show? An even harder fuck no. It just looks....bad all around.

And I'm going to see it.

It's just for general movie audience who like bs cgi movies like Transformers.

[Simple Fan]

I'll go and see it but it looks so bad. Not the CGI just the design of everything. Alpha 5 looks horrible. Like Alpha 5 and ET had a baby horrible. Everything looks extra extraterrestrial.

[Destor]

I went from a hard sold to a wait for critic reviews with the character design and lack of immediately obvious kungfu action

[Kalyx triaD]

They took Goldar's name to heart.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Can't stop thinking of Noam Dar when I see that stupid fake Goldar. Both so terrible. I don't even see how it can have a mouth to talk. It's just gonna be a goddamn mindless monster. Boooo.

Goldar's gonna get you tonight.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They took Goldar's name to heart.

Squat will be a toilet and Baboo will be a monkey.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Jesus he looks like shit

[KIRA]

Is that Goldar....
what the fuck did they do to him?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Dip him in gold apparently

[Simple Fan]

Looks melted. Maybe the Rangers set him on fire before the Megazord fight.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They set it on fire alright. Like a flaming bag of poop.

[BigCrippyZ]

:nono: :wtf: :?: :mad:

I had high hopes, especially after the first trailer, but fuck, this just keeps looking worse and worse.

They seriously just should have bought the rights to this, paid Saban whatever they wanted for the rights to the PR name and characters and continued this story:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vw5vcUPyL90" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That was a parody of movies that take itself too seriously with violence based on kids stuff. Basically it was a warning for this movie.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah that's never going on. Not for the pfft returns it would get just to make a few of us happy. PR is trying to sell toys.

The director should do his own Toku hero series though. It was still a nice short in its own right.

[BigCrippyZ]

I know. I always thought it was a solid short film and way to relaunch and continue the story though.

[Kalyx triaD]

Goldar's final form perhaps?

What a strange apathy to everything not related to zords and suits. It's either over designed or throwaway.

Member when Lord Zedd's Putties debuted on the show and they seemed "unstoppable" until the Rangers discovered "oh wait.... we just have to hit them in the chest and they explode" .......

Yep. That exactly what I thought they were to. I like the look though.

lol yup


worst weakness ever.

[Shadow]

Yeah these Putties are definitely mindless Golems brought to life from the earth. Looks good. Shame about everything else looking like shit.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Still this. Def need confirmation of Kung Fu though. Getting pretty worried about it.

Wouldn't be surprised if they held off reviews for awhile.

[Destor]

Wouldn't be surprised if they held off reviews for awhile.yeah that would be wise on their part I think

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Out of nostalgia and love of the first few seasons I probably still will see this in theaters.

[Rammsteinmad]

Thought the trailer looked fucking awful, but that's pretty much the same reason why I'll give it a chance.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Also the adult cast is elite af.

Adult Me: This is still amazing.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah I regret nothing.

[Mercenary]

Yeah I regret nothing.

TBH I feel the same about Ninja Turtles

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

TBH I feel the same about Ninja Turtles

Just means you were too old when Power Rangers came out to enjoy it like kids did.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Squat and Baboo were amazing. It was too bad when they ran out of usable footage of them and they had to be seen just looking into what Zedd was doing.

[Destor]

That trailer was considerably better


PLUS KUNG FU ACTION CONFIRMED

[Blonde Moment]

agreed.

[Rammsteinmad]

Yeah that trailer looks pretty good. Zordon looks well done in this. Goldar doesn't look as terrible as that awful looking action figure of him.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Did look a lot better. We shall see. I hope it's decent.

[Disturbed316]

Tempted by this, got quite a nostalgia kick watching that. Elizabeth Banks as Rita is different but interesting.

[Sixx]

what's the deal with that guy killing his sink?

i don't remember them having super strength or anything. just mad ninja skills.

[Kalyx triaD]

Adapted from the latter seasons where rangers do have powers without morphing. Extra strength is actually more subtle than what the show does, which has them being xmen like sometimes.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Pretty much just making it like the first Spiderman.

[Sixx]

of course you're referring to this one?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Literally a shot-remake.

[Kalyx triaD]

"Lightning gave me abs?"

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Are Bulk and Skull female in this? The two from the teaser?

[Kalyx triaD]

I think the guys bothering Billy in the first trailer are Bulk and Skull. The girls are Kim's old cheerleader buddies most likely.

[Dodger881]

Hopefully they have Amy Jo Johnson play the Pink Rangers mom ;)

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Nope.

[RP]

Is Yellow ranger Asian and Black ranger Black? That's mandatory.

[Kalyx triaD]

There's like three trailers.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is Yellow ranger Asian and Black ranger Black? That's mandatory.

Mexican and Asian. Billy is black in this.

[Droford]

Can I have a VR Troopers movie? I watched that as a kid not Power Rangers. I feel left out.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What about Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad? It had Tim Motherfucking Curry.

[Rammsteinmad]

Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills.

[Kalyx triaD]

Beetleborgs.

[Rammsteinmad]

Man it'd be awesome if this Power Rangers film did well and they bought back all these 90's shows but more modern and mature or whatever.

Nah it probably wouldn't be really. Just wanting to relive my childhood I guess.

[Kalyx triaD]

This will do well enough for the Green Ranger focused sequel.

[Destor]

I think the antagonist is the green ranger...

[Kalyx triaD]

Right now an ex-green ranger.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Who killed all of the first team cause Zordon said no to her fucking the Red Ranger who turned into Zedd.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Where's Rito? He was my favorite with Golddar. Rip guy who voiced Rito.

[Kalyx triaD]

Rito was fun. The 'red neck-ish brother' thing was kind of random but it's PR.

[Destor]

Needing word of mouth on this guys. Anyone going to go see it?

[Simple Fan]

I'll be going to see it either tonight or Tuesday but I know you don't care for my opinion so you'll have to wait for someone else to see it.

[Destor]

You opinion will be increadibly useful IMO

[Rammsteinmad]

I'm gonna see it.

In about a weeks time. Maybe two. :shifty:

[Frank Drebin]

I hear there's a graphic sex scene between Rita and Bulk while Skull films it.

[Destor]

Im down

[Simple Fan]

Well I'm not real sure about it as well, as I haven't been a fan of a lot of the things like the suits or the powers without them. The trailers have done their job though and I'm curious to see it. Hopefully they do it justice and make me feel like a kid again.

[Black Widow]

Great! Billy,Jason and Kimberly were standouts.I don't need oscar worthy for something called Power Rangers, I just needed this to be fun with solid casting for the rangers and it was.

[Simple Fan]

Yeah was pretty good. Got a little long in the middle but really built up the bond the Rangers have with each other. Nice movie to start the franchise and I'm interested to see what they do next now that they are established. There is a mid credit scene as well.

[Simple Fan]

Hah, I thought that Jason's dad was the actor that played the original red ranger but it wasn't . The two do look similar though

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Nope, it was the dude from the Office.

Saw most of it but had to duck out for a bit to the bathroom when the first found the Power Chamber.

Pretty good.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Reviews are not as bad as expected. A good number of them are. Rotten Rating is at 46.

[Destor]

I expected it to be objectively bad. I think that was a given. The question before the court is does it deliver to its niche audience.

Pretty good.

Never watched The Office so I didn't know who he was. Wasn't really sure who the original red rangers was either so I just thought that was him playing Jason's dad until I googled it afterwards.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Well, that is something you should probably watch. I know it was on Thursdays. It's probably the reason I never got into Impact besides everything else about it.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I expected it to be objectively bad. I think that was a given. The question before the court is does it deliver to its niche audience.

I think hardcore fans will actually be pissed. They seemed to try to grasp a larger audience and they did very good with the teenagers with attitude having an attitude.

This isn't a ranger team that is upset a bake sale isn't going well.

[Simple Fan]

Thought their was a good mix of nostalgia while also creating something new. I really think it was made for fans of the original series that lost interest as they got older. Wasn't afraid to poke fun at what is ridiculous about the power rangers but at the same time making it make sense in this world.

[Heisenberg]

Elizabeth Banks surprised the fuck out of me, the whole movie was good from start to end. Thought the dark blue hue of the film would put me to sleep, but it didn't. Angel Grove lives again

[Heisenberg]

It was built for fathers like me who wanted to make their 9 year old son forget the Samurai Rangers and that damn Decker(sp?) who cut a promo on his roommate and continued to slice him up with a samarai fucking blade.

This also was the day I dressed up as a middle-aged white guy dad. Very funny interactions out on the town. Almost got invited to golf? We'll get there, bought a whole golf club set w/bag for 10 dollars last week so we will see how it goes

[Destor]

Very compelling Hburg. Nearly got me sold. Can you,, without spoilers, give me a critique of the film?

Word of mouth has been favorable among the niche.

To start off, this movie was a reboot of a franchise that felt "current" and "not cheesy" given the circumstances of it being "Angel Grove" which we never got to see that much outside of the Community Center(back in the 90s show) or w/e the piss they hung out at. When I decided to go yesterday I just had brunch with my little brother with whom I watched Power Rangers with back in the early 90s. We gobbled that shit up, it was the show that came on afterschool and would entertain us while we waited for either my mom and stepdad to get off work or if we were at my dad's house(which was basically a crumbling house-shack that him and his friends did drugs like coke and heroin at) it would be our babysitter. Anyways, when he confirmed how badass the film was I chose to take my 9 year old son with me to show him my favorite group of the whole PR universe, the ones who started it all in America, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.


The first 10 minutes are fast-paced and gives you what you need to be hooked. If you don't like stories that center around team cohesion and the difficulties that come with it all then it probably won't work for you. The casting was great all around, not just the teenagers picked to be the Rangers, but the supporting cast that is stacked with familiar faces of current Hollywood.


I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just say that basically if you loved the original MMPR, then you'll enjoy and accept the hell out of the current and future of this franchise. The film was suited for adults and kids. That is very hard imo to do today in our culture.

[Rammsteinmad]

Cool little write-up. Pretty much every review I've read has some kind of version of "fans of the original will enjoy this". I can't wait!

[Destor]

I think im sold

[Heisenberg]

Without spoiling anything, they made Zordon and Rita way more interesting than some guy on a screen and the typical "evil" person. Alpha got a super upgrade as well that again caters to kids and adults alike

[Maluco]

Marked out so many times watching this.

[Kalyx triaD]

Full review later but yeah the quality here is shocking.

[Heisenberg]

Another non-spoiler to caveat up above to help you all move to the theater: It caters to wrestling fans
