Review of Power Rangers (2017) by Tipper117 — 26 Mar 2017

As usual, the critics come off being way to harsh on what is supposed to be a fun movie. I'll admit, I'm looking through rose-tinted glasses, being a fan of the original Power Rangers when I was a kid. But even being a fan and being super excited to go see this movie, I prepared myself to turn off my brain and was cautiously optimistic of the movie. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this movie did with character development and with how they took their time making sure this team grew together in a way that felt natural. I fully expected that part of the movie to be shallow and rushed and expected them to get to the flashy stuff as soon as possible.

Once they laid all the ground work for the characters, they got down to business with the good guys fighting the bad guys in the final act of the movie. Now if you're a simple person like me who doesn't take themselves or movies too seriously, then all fighting and the climax at the end works well and turns out to be a lot of fun. If you're like most of the "professional" movie critics out there who don't know how to just enjoy something without picking it apart and being overly critical, then you may not be able to enjoy this movie.

All in all, I'd of course recommend this movie to Power Ranger fans. I'd also recommend it to anyone that enjoys a good superhero flick, because that's pretty much what this movie is at the end of the day. The movie developed it's characters well and in a way that makes sense, then brings them all together for some fun flashy action at the end. And of course, there's lots of little easter eggs/references lying around that'll make any previous fan of the Power Rangers giddy. I know I cheered a couple times while seeing this movie.
