Saban's Power Rangers | March 24, 2017 | Teaser Trailer on Page 47

[MuffinMan]

The current version creatively reimagines the Power Rangers’ origins by establishing them as a team of intergalactic protectors, which certainly provides a high degree of flexibility for potential future iterations. However, a proliferation of memorable teen action-adventure movies have solidified their own loyal followings over the past two decades, leaving the impression that a revived Power Rangers franchise may lack the distinction necessary to sustain a full-fledged relaunch, although its worldwide appeal should assure satisfactory initial results.

 

Israelite, building on his experience with teen sci-fi feature Project Almanac, orchestrates a vastly more complex array of characters, action set pieces and technical resources for a combined effect that maintains dramatic tension even while teetering on the brink of excess. CGI characters and special effects sequences by Weta Workshop are seamlessly integrated and consistently thrilling.

God damn so has the embargo dropped or not?

I don't think so.

 

Edit: maybe

 

“Power Rangers” is baloney through and through, but as baloney goes, it’s better than you might expect. It packs enough zing to make you forgive the origin-story clichés. And the predictable save-the-world stuff. And the insanely ubiquitous product placement.

 

This quintet of actors is so empathetic and engaging that they more than hold up the John Hughes end of the movie. And if you’re not seeing this for the acting, then at least you get five brightly-clad heroes driving dinosaur-shaped spaceships that eventually meld into one giant, sword-wielding robot. If that’s what you paid to see, then “Power Rangers” delivers it, dollars to donuts.

I suppose Alonso Duralde has also decided to drop his review.

i read lots of bad reviews...

[alisson23]

These critics sound like an acclamation to me. I did not expect so much, anyway. I'm more than satisfied

[Mikasa Ackerman]

For this to have a fresh RT, I think a lot of reviews will have to be in the vein of TheWrap review, ie "oh wow, it wasn't actually that bad!". Low expectations are the order of the day!

This is the best any reasonable human being could hope for from this, so YAY!

[CaptainJackSparrow]

The opening of the movie sounds horrible. 

[Krissykins]

Yeh, from the Variety review the vast majority of the film is all just set up before they even put the costumes on for the last half hour.

 

Yawn! 

 

Still going to see it. But there's no need to spend an hour trying to give character development to 5 power rangers. 

[alisson23]

By trailer, I believe there are action scenes before they put the costumes too. So I expect it won't get you bored.

[RedX]

Considering Ehrlic (Indiwire) gave Rogue One and Civil War C's, that's not too shabby

Quote

an amusingly incongruous performance from Elizabeth Banks (who plays the evil Rita Repulsa with such go-for-broke glee that it feels like she’s fulfilling a Make-A-Wish request for a dying fanbase)

Jason Scott (the mannequin-like Dacre Montgomery, who aspires to Charlie Hunnam’s level of lifelessness)

 

the savant-like Billy, who struggles with sarcasm but amiably self-identifies as being on the Autism spectrum. He’s played by RJ Cyler, who never reprises his famous “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” catchphrase (“‘dem titties”), but does get to articulate his character’s non-neurotypical nature in a monologue about how difficult it would be to “cram a ton of crayons in a butt.”
