I'll hope that this will have some unintentional humor value and will save it for when it's free and when I can see it ironically with some friends and not sober.
Love that we get to see the full transformation plus I assume the other 4 rangers blue, black, pink and yellow will be using updated versions of the power weapons.

[SPOILER - highlight to read]:
Ok as a big childhood fan of the show, I just came back from it.
The cast was ok, especially Jason and Kimberly. But the characterization felt off compare to the original show. In the original show, they were all good kids and long time friends. In the movie, all of them are characterized as the "weirdo" or troubled kids.
Billy was some autistic nerd.
Zack(he actually resembles Adam a lot) was a half crazy "stalker" in the first half, he lives with his sick mother.
Trini was a lonely lesbian(it didn't show much in the movie, she just told the team about it).
Even Jason and Kimberly are troublemakers, who had made fateful mistakes.
So none of them actually resemble the original characters. None of them were better than the original five. That's my biggest complain. I'm ok if you add some problems to one or two characters to create drama, but a total rewrite on all 5 characters, well, why not rename them as brand new characters? One good thing is that Jason/Kimberly pair was happening.
They've never met each other as well. The 2/3 of this movie was about how they form relationship through setbacks, I'm ok with it but it might be too boring to some people.
Rita was fine, while she was a bit too cruel in the first half. Zordon and Alpha were perfect. I'm ok with setting Rita as the old green ranger and Zordon as the old red leader of the team.
The fights was cool with the dinozords, but it turned a lot worse when they merge, and the merge process wasn't even shown clearly. The fighting between Goldor(it was just a giant burning gold dumbass!) and the Megazord was boring and slow if you compare with other giant robot fighting movies like Pacific Rim and Transformers.
Ok, the best scene is Amy Jo Johnson and JDF making cameos after the fight. I was yelling "Kimberly" in the cinema when I saw her.
The post credit scene showed Tommy had moved here.
Overall if you are a power ranger fan, it was "ok" but could have been much better and close related to the show, I don't regret seeing it.
Well I saw it today and a great action fantasy movie as expected.
Brilliant cameos, flawed believable relatable characters including Rita Repulsa, brilliant foreshadowing or easter egg, lines that make it obvious sequels and a sequel, and like The Avengers right mix of serious and funny stuff.

Is it really that hard to believe a show that's been running for
20+ Years that's based off a show that's running for 40+ years has people that make up a fanbase for it? Even go as far as I don't know, liking it? There's worst franchises to question about imo. Some peeps value their opinion alittle too much, which is fine. We all like to feel important.
