Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Python Hyena Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997): Dir: Shuki Levy, David Winning / Cast: Johnny Yong Bosch, Amy Jo Johnson, Catherine Sutherland, Blake Foster, Austin St. John: Candy coated worthless piece of nothing about a wizard being transported to earth and a villainess who wishes to use his power to open a portal to a demon. One of the Rangers is injured during training and replaced by a kid who seems to be the same size as the others when he puts the suit on. The writer gave him every advantage including not needing a license to drive one of their ordinary (excuse me) extraordinary cars. The villains are in search of people yet they spend nearly the entire duration of film in a submarine. Dialogue consists of such lines as, "Listen, because I hate to repeat myself, I hate to repeat myself," and "Hey you guys. Look at this!" It took the combined efforts of Shuki Levy and David Winning to direct this elementary crap with special effects that look every bit as effective as an episode of Barney. Terrible acting by Johnny Yong Bosch, Amy Jo Johnson, etc. Nobody will win any Academy Awards here. The best they can do is leave the screening with their jackets over their heads. The kid may take the prize for the worst performance although he only barely edges out the others. Absolute junk that should be tramped upon then deposited in a dump where it belongs. Score: 0 / 10

emarriott72 As a kid my older brother liked power rangers a lot. The original show, was very similar to the Batman show in the 60s. It was cheesy, silly but in all very entertaining for its camp value. The movie was okay, but with its clichés and dumb pointless moments kind of killed it. In 1997 a kind of sequel came out and it's as exiting as...watching the grass grow. There was only 25 minutes of time where you see the power rangers. 25 MINUTES!!! The plot (or at least as much plot as I could find in this) is that some lady named Devatox is hunting down a wizard, Laragou, who looks like an ewok with the face of Dr. Zaius from planet of the apes, to of course, take over the world. The power rangers have no choice but to intervene. I should also mention that about five minutes of the time the power rangers are in there costumes there looking for the bad guys lair. I mean WOW... I mean why is even called Power Rangers? Why not "KIDS WHO FIGHT BAD GUYS AND WEAR THE SAME COLORS EVERYDAY", at least that would make sense! SPOILER: The final battle looks like crap. Somehow, they made the megazord look MORE like multi-colored cardboard boxes...In all the movie sucks, and is a big disappointment to anyone who loved Power Rangers like I did.

nerpaakula First of all, Power rangers are themselves bad but this is unbelievable. The first movie should appeal to children under the age of 8 and had one decent villain followed by the worst $0.02 CGI transformation sequence in the history of mankind. However, compared to this, that movie seems like the Godfather. Nothing will make sense if for some unfortunate reason you find yourself watching this. It is pure and utter garbage and is'nt funny no matter how you try to look at it. Its disgusting. Its not a movie. Its not a show. Its guano. Most people wont watch it anyway so why am I wasting time writing this? I don't know. The only thing I don't understand is why this is'nt in the bottom 20 list? Make that bottom 5.

weprin2 Just another bad sequel to a great movie. A Power Ranger fan's worst nightmare, which isn't really saying much so to speak. This really kills the MPG franchise. Why wasn't Billy in this one?, Why wasn't Jason the Gold Ranger? And what happened to The Machine Empire? There's nothing in this movie but very weak plot but that's about it! Even the series to this movie was lousy! To say the least! All though I liked Power Rangers in Space but the following Power Rangers series like Lost Galaxy,Light Speed Rescue,Time Force,Ninja Storm,Wild Force,Dino Force and S.P.D. where pretty crappy! Watch Voltron The Third Demention instead. Don't waste your time or money watching this disappointing no film! It just ain't worth it.
