Our Score

I’m a bit confused. It’s called Power Rangers, but no one is wearing spandex, there are no men in slightly cardboard looking suits, and no CGI that looks like it was made in 10 minutes on a ZX Spectrum. Perhaps most confusing is that Rita Repulsa’s mouth now moves in time with what she’s saying. It’s all very strange.

It’s time for an origin story though. The film opens with Bryan Cranston causing the end of the dinosaurs. Well, Cranston’s alien Power Ranger, Zordon, does anyway, dying himself in the process of stopping evil former ranger, Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks). [Read more…]

Shiny lycra, men in monster suits, stunningly cheap looking special effects – that’s what Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is all about, right? Well, not any more, as for its movie reboot it’s been given a bigger budget and some far better production values.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat.

Elizabeth Banks’ Rita Repulsa Gets Trapped In New Power Rangers Image

By Leave a Comment

power-rangers-elizabeth-banksIt can’t be long until we get a trailer for the new Power Rangers movie, but until then we’ve got a new image featuring Elizabeth Banks as the evil Rita Repula, trapped behind some type of ice or crystal wall. Once again it underlines that this won’t be like the fun but slightly cheesy TV show.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.’

The movie will be in cinemas next February.

New Power Rangers Pic Unmasks The New Heroes

By Leave a Comment

power-rangers-picThe makers of the new Power Rangers movie are certainly trying to build the hype, while also attempting to underline that this time around it won’t be so cheesy, the old-style spandex suits are history and, presumably, the special effects won’t be men in suits stomping on models of buildings. Now a new pic has been released giving us a fresh look at the line-up of heroes.

In the pic above, from left to right you have Kimberly the Pink Ranger (Naomi Scott), Billy the Blue Ranger (RJ Cyler), Jason the Red Ranger (Dacre Montgomery), Zack the Black Ranger (Ludi Lin), and Trini the Yellow Ranger (Becky G). What we don’t see are Elizabeth Banks as the new Rita Repulsa and Bryan Cranston as Zordon.

The movie is due in cinemas early next year. Click here to check out the recent character posters.
