Like, there's a bull, and he literally says it had one big udder and he had to use two hands. Then the scene shifts to the present, where Jason is pulling a prank with his friend who talks about jerking off a cow. It adds to the mythology, and sets up compelling stuff. They even throw an Aquitar alien in there as the Yellow Ranger to hint at the larger, cosmic scope of the series, giving us three distinct kinds of aliens in that original team. That gives a history that the original show only hints at, something that's far more compelling than just 'Rita was evil, Zordon was good, they fought and he won but now she's back and he's in a tube.' It seeds the Green Power Coin as something that is - or at least was - Rita's by right, laying the groundwork for Tommy to show up later, and also gives them a personal enmity that can change their motivation. We see Zordon as the Red Ranger, and we find out that, on that original team, Rita was the Green Ranger. We start off in the distant past, and we see a previous team of Rangers defeated after being betrayed by Rita Repulsa. I know that other reviews have rather charitably described the movie as 'uneven,' and I don't think there's anything that captures that more than the first five minutes. And what's really frustrating is that they're often presented side-by-side with some genuinely good ideas. In addition to having what is without question some of the worst dialogue I've ever heard in a film - and it's a testament to how good the cast actually is that they're able to wring any emotion at all out of the blunt declarations that they're asked to deliver - most of the twists that deviate from the formula are pretty terrible. At the same time, the things that make the formula interesting are the changes that twist it into something surprising, and that's where Power Rangers completely drops the ball. That franchise was built on a formula, and it's that formula that has kept the show as a going concern for over 800 episodes.

If you've seen literally any superhero story, you have seen this movie, to the point of being able to predict almost everything that happens, from the big moments all the way down to the minutes when they drop the catchphrases.Р”Р„nd honestly, that's kind of a weird complaint to have about a Power Rangers story.

Part of the problem is that, for most of its runtime, the movie is going through the motions of an extremely basic origin story. I care about that stuff with a fervor that most people would reserve for religion. Writing that out, it sounds amazing, but the 110 minutes leading up to it are so tedious and perfunctory that it's really hard to care - and for me to not care about the Power Rangers doing wrestling moves and then punching someone into space takes genuine effort. Seriously, this is a movie - spoiler warning in case you were worried that the bad guys were going to win - that ends with the Megazord taking out Goldar with a German Suplex and then backhanding Rita Repulsa so hard that she lands on the moon.

Instead, it winds up committing the cardinal sin: For about 90% of its full two-hour run time, it's just monumentally boring. I was honestly expecting to come out of the theater finally understanding what it was like for someone who had a lifelong love of the Transformers to see those movies, but Power Rangers never really committed to being as terrible as its worst parts, or as good as its best. There is a moment towards the end of the 2017 Power Rangers movie where Rita Repulsa is walking through Angel Grove desperately searching for a Krispy Kreme while a forty-foot monster made of molten gold smashes up the town around her, and 'Power' by Kanye West starts playing as a bunch of dinosaur robots close in, when I honestly wondered if this movie was going to get so stupid that it finally looped back around into being awesome.Р”В«ut here's the thing: Power Rangers isn't terrible - or at least, it's not consistently terrible.
