Err does anyone got the link of that super Sentai clip which appear that every Sentai are fighting each other?
As long as the film is good, I don't see how not being faithful to the source material is problem.SonOfVoorhees said:What would the movie be like? Am thinking dark and gritty with zero silliness. If thats the case then no point making a movie. Never get why hollywood does that, make movies based on old shows and books and then totally ignore the source material completely. I guess the point is they are greedy arseholes that dont give a shit about the source material.
More or less this. I remember watching Power Rangers when I was younger, but I never thought of it as cinematic quality as a show. It was silliness and toys tied together by really bad acting. This is not the kind of series I would expect to get a modern reboot. It's not that it's too geeky or childish or niche, it's just bad.Jofe said:I don't know... I sorta grew up with the first season (If I understand correctly this is the one they're attempting to reboot on the movie) and still don't think its a good idea.
Well they did that already, and it was Mystery Science Theater levels of bad.Kyogissun said:I'm 25 and loved the show as a kid.
As long as the Power Rangers film is over the top, well animated in the CG department (Or AMAZINGLY coreographed if it's done old costume fight style) and has a proper level of tension but doesn't take itself INSANELY seriously, I'll go check it out. Oh and it can't have a mediocre and poorly written script like the 2 latter Transformer films, I don't want to watch the same movie 2 more times, mkay?
As long as it's fun, I'll go watch and enjoy it probably!
I really hope you're not just pointing at the original english film, because I thought it would be assumed that the general consensus is that one 'is' pretty mediocre.MCerberus said:Well they did that already, and it was Mystery Science Theater levels of bad.Kyogissun said:I'm 25 and loved the show as a kid.

Which is exactly how it should be.
Same here. While I also have my own set of Turtles and Transformers that I watched growing up I could always kind of see how something like that could transform into a somewhat serious, if ridiculous at times, movie. Power Rangers though. Its just so nakedly commercial and over the top that I'm scared of what they might try to do. Hell I don't want them to try and "grow it up" or market it at us now 20-30 year olds who watched it in the 90s. It should be aimed at, as it always has been, younger kids. Though I am hoping that if nothing else it gets a competent action director. Some of the fight scenes in the show were pretty top notch, especially the Forever Red special. A big budget version of those minus shakey cam of course. Del Toro also showed us just how good and awesome giant CGI robots vs. giant CGI monsters can be. Give me that plus stupidly silly but stupidly awesome special weapons and attacks from both sides and we could have Pacific Rim levels of awesome.Uriel_Hayabusa said:Not gonna lie, I think Bob did a good job with this episode what with the calling out people cringing at the prospect of a Power Rangers reboot while fawning over other, just as geeky, things themselves.
It probably helps that I was a huge power rangers fan growing up, though I was more ambivalent than anything else at the prospect of the reboot.
Not quite all (Batman the Animated Series, Gargoyles and Mighty Max are all pretty good) but I would have to agree that a large majority are not worth remembering. I have no idea what the big kids shows of the last decade are but they had to have been better then the crap that was made in the 90s.BrotherRool said:80's 90's cartoons and childrens shows suck. All of them. (Except Gargoyles)
Just wait until people are selling the kids nowadays their nostalgia back. Then we're going to get some awesome films. Kim Possible is going to rock the world so hard the GI Joe films go away and cry themselves to sleep, asking why their entire existence was so pointless and forgettable.
It's a well-known fact that every time you do, he delays the release. I mean, why else do you think he's withholding them? Because he hasn't made them yet? Ha! He finished the series ages ago!Ken_J said:Just to let everyone in the comments know. Don't start asking Linkara when the next History of Power Rangers is coming out.
Maybe JDF will get his "Adult" Green Ranger movie after all.MarsAtlas said:I mean, do you think a grim-dark Power Rangers would be any good?
Hi, you must be new to the internet. >.>AdmiralCheez said:Yeah, if someone really wants to see it, and someone really wants to make it, who am I to tell them no?
Two internet newbies in one thread. What are the odds?MCerberus said:My big question here is: does anyone really still care? Power Rangers is something you very easily grow out of, and it's trying to reboot the original series.
I'm of the philosophy that there's nothing better to watch, turning off the TV is a completely valid option.ran88dom99 said:The revenge of all the people who didn't have anything better to watch. Put some effort into your kid's entertainment.
Well, you're ab out my brother's age, and he and his classmates got caught up in it. Which is why I saw it in the first place. Honestly, I like cheesy Kung Fu and big stompy robots anyway, so it was an easy draw for me.JPArbiter said:I am only slightly younger then Bob (31 to his 33) and was a fan due to my love of Giant Stompy Robots and of Martial arts movies. so I am not 100% sure this is an age thing. Unless you consider Bob and I being on the cusp of it and it caught me but not him.
In all my internet travels I have never seen a group of people consider the MMPR more than a minor nostalgia rush usually followed by "you know, that show wasn't that good, but I liked it as a kid". I guess we can add "fanbases" to the internet quantum physics laws.Zachary Amaranth said:Two internet newbies in one thread. What are the odds?
No, but seriously. Power Rangers has a strong adult fanbase. I mean, you can grow out of it, but a lot of people didn't. MMPR is still the most popular, or at the very least among the most popular.
I would personally think a better question would be "would the fanbase still accept it with new actors?"
As a follow up, "would it matter?"
