Review of Power Rangers (2017) by Cheeseman585 — 25 Mar 2019

This movie is an insult to the intelligence of any sentient being, much less the fans of the original series. There is nothing redeemable about the universe that is created in this film, and it has nothing in common with the IP that it shamelessly destroys. The dialogue is terrible, the characters are bland and generic, the plot devices make absolutely no sense, and no one in the whole movie makes any reasonable decision under any circumstances. Any enjoyment that can be siphoned from the ten minutes of actual action at the end of the movie is immediately crushed by the sheer stupidity of every decision made by any character.

There is no amount of nostalgia that can save this train wreck. The pieces of 20-year-old Japanese TV show that were stitched together to make the original series were infinitely more cohesive than this frankly insulting disaster of a movie. I couldn't imagine a worse way to ruin the original Power Rangers than this trash.
