Review of Power Rangers (2017) by Bekah — 10 Apr 2017

I liked it! In the Age of 6-10 I was a die hard Power Rangers Fan. The reboot isn't as cheese as the source material, but contains the most significant elements. The acting was quite good the fighting scene were decent.

I liked they used further elements of the show as inspiration for plot devices. And I was glad to hear the iconic Phrases and the Themesong. A very good decision was to cut the quantity down to certain special moments for us Fan Boys instead of using themk all the time like in the original show.

Perhabs I am over stretching this, but the Productplacments-thing in it is so hilourious quirky and brutal, that I only can interpret it as a meta joke of the commercial chrakter for toys the original series has had back in the days.

But there are some minor things I this like: There was a serious Lack of Martial Arts Education in the Origin Story. Jason as Footbal Quaterback make his charakter so stereotypish, that I feel a bit pity for him in comperison to the other leads.

The second thing I disliked are the uninspired Stonevillians performing as Ritas basic minions. They look simply **** Overall I am satisfied with the reboot. There was enough respect for the franchise, the story featured all elements it needed and combines it with enjoyable plot.

We see trainign we see the personality of the Rangers, we get a convincing bonding. There is no embaressing Moments. Rita is cheese, but still evil and hits the edge between beeing ridicoulous and creepy.

It's not perfekt but way way way better then exspected and even not Power Rangers Fans can like it.
