Review of Power Rangers (2017) by Thefulltru7H — 02 Apr 2017

This movie is not deserving of the intense criticism it has recieved (in my opinion). I went into the Cinema with very, very low expectations (thanks to previous reviews I had read) and was more than surprised at how enjoyable this film is. In fact, I created my account on this website today, just to rate the movie. So many people are deciding that this film is a poor choice of entertainment before they even watch it and personally I believe this to be a great shame. Not for the sake of the film's profits but for the people denying themselves a generally great movie experience. I will concede that some parts of the film are cheesy/predictable but having watched Power Rangers extensively as a child, I never watched it expecting the emotional rollercoaster of Manchester By the Sea. At the end of the day Power Rangers is an adaptation of a kids show that had little to no story behind it. Here is a film that creates new, filled out characters that you genuinely care about mixed in with Chronicle-esc power usage and finally incredibly exciting action sequences. TLDR: If you go into the Cinema (Theatre) expecting a dark, angsty thriller, you will not enjoy this movie. If you go into the room *wanting* to see a terrible movie, you will have wasted your money. If you go and see this movie with the attitude of a 12 year-old kid flicking through the channels on his lounge's cathode-ray TV, you will *love* this movie.

Thank you for reading.
