9/10
Now THIS is a Power Rangers movie!
4 November 2023
I grew up with the Mighty Morphin Power Rnagers and still love them to this day, I even met 3 of them a few years ago! After the disappointment of the 2017 film, and feeling underwhelmed at both 90's movies. I thought that there would be no hope in generating a good Power Rangers movie to do the franchise any form of justice, until now. At first this one just feels like a long overdue/lost episode of the show, but once you watch it, it feels like it's really telling a story and paying respect to its legacy, and even paying tribute to a few fallen actors from the show as well. It's mainly about one ranger's next of kin and her struggles to find out what it really means to be a ranger from her adoptive uncle (none other than Zack the black Ranger doing a fantastic job of not only raising her, but is a politician as well), and Billy is the MVP here followed by Rocky and Kat. Two monsters from the show make a return along with Rita, can they beat them in time before she succeeds in a dastardly plan? That remains to be seen. It's not without a few flaws, for one it's a bit short (it's a Netflix special, what do you expect?), a few of the main characters that were played by surviving actors didn't show up (see trivia section for all the details), and there's the use of CGI which kind of takes away the enjoyable cheese factor we loved in the series though it still looks cool. If you're fan of MMPR check this out, though the end might bring you to tears.
