Nostalgia: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

I shouldn't judge the movie already but I'm not feeling it from that trailer.

 

The suits haven't really grown on me, the design of the power coins is a strange choice, they look tacky and not like gems, let alone coins.

 

Not sure the Twilight vibe is the right choice. The dystopian genre is going away with Hunger Games success falling away and the Divergent series going straight to video.

 

I know, it's Power Rangers, don't expect too much... but I honestly thought that was the point of this film - to reintroduce it to the world with a bang in this high-end superhero movie time. There might still be millage in teenage angst, but I just feel they could have done something better and more bold with it. John Carter, Maze Runner, Chronicle, Percy Jackson... This, feels 5 years to too late.

I literally don't know what any of these things are. I think it looks good, from a perspective of not caring at all where it fits in its demographic.

Thing is, with an outdated style, it will be a missed opportunity and we'll wait another 15 years for a reboot. Hope I'm wrong. It doesn't seem to be doing anything to elevate the brand to me.

I'm not sure what to make of that trailer, it seems like a generic teen movie using the Power Rangers brand as subtly as possible. The characters also seem annoying AF. I was hoping they'd just go all out crazy with this and embrace the weirdness of it, have Tokyo Mirage Sessions level fights, crazy bad guys and mega electric guitars.

 

Instead the suits are dull and gross whilst the music uses a few notes from the theme to that annoying 'BUUUU BUUUU' you hear in every film since Inception.
