Power Rangers? Pass. I do have some self-respect.
No Amy Jo Johnson, No buy!
I'm sorry but the "old and busted" beats the "new hotness" on this one!She has a cameo in it along with Jason david frank

AJJ was smokin'! (I'm sure ushered many young '90's boys into manhood!)
Yea I did. Wasnt great tbh as Rita was poorly done, ruined goldar, the new suits are poor and the actors are little wooden. Has some good moments but overall this is basically a film that needs to be cheap if wanna buy itLol did anyone actually watch this movie? I think I'll watch the movie first before deciding to buy the steelbook.

This was... an interesting one. The movie is the exact opposite of what I thought it would be.
I thought that the movie would be similar to the TMNT movies, where it's just pointless nothingness inter-spliced between mind-numbing action scenes.
But Power Rangers (2017) was the exact opposite. It had some well-written and (surprisingly) well-acted character motivated drama, and some heartfelt dialogue between people trying to grow up.
The part I disliked most about the film was the actual ONE ACTION SEQUENCE towards the end. It was tonally imbalanced, misplaced, generic, and all-around lack-luster.
But the solid hour and 45 minutes of character building beforehand warrants a watch from me.
That's probably the most positive review I've read of the movie. Well-written and well-acted are not phrases usually attached to this movie. I'll have to watch this before deciding whether to buy the steelbook. I'm trying to avoid another case of ID:Resurgence, where the movie was so bad that I couldn't even stomach having it in my collection.
What are you talking about? ID4:2 was a fantastic comedy... never before have I seen a film so trapped in the 90's fail so spectacularly on every conceivable level of what films are supposed to do.
Power Rangers was an interesting case of a filmmaker trying to film succeed in spite of itself. The writing is solid, the acting is solid, the build up is well-established... but the last 20 minutes are a completely different film.
I'd say that to use the word "good" to describe this movie is stretching it a tad bit (although I am a bit of a cynic)- but what the movie succeeds at is building unique characters with real issues. As an action film, or as a throwback to the original property- it was really misguided in it's attempt- but I'd compare this film more to the Breakfast Club than I would any modern Superhero film.
If you have mild interest in this film- it's worth a watch. It's not 2 hours worth of 90's-era dog feces thrown up on screen (like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)- but it can be a bit jarring when you don't know exactly the kind of film that you're getting in to.
