People compare the two because they were both popular action shows for young boys in the early 90's (Well TMNT did came out first, but the show was still strong in the early 90's). Both shows were made to sell toys. Also the 1995 MMPR film got over shadow by Batman Forever and Pocahontas that summer. More kids went to see those movies instead. I don't find Power Rangers any siller then TMNT. Both franchises can't be view taken seriously since they both have silly conpects.I think the movie should turn out fine depending how good the cast and director are. TMNT despite it's bad reviews, still did well on it's first week. Power Rangers has a lot of nostalgia factor for it since it was one of the biggest kids shows in the 90's next to Pokemon. As a kid in the mid 90's, PR was nearly everywhere at the time.
