As someone who grew up with the original Mighty Morphin series, this film has a serious nostalgia factor. The characters may be a bit different, but the heart of the franchise shines through quite well. However, the movie itself has some issues: Not only was there way too much profanity, including an overuse of the s-word, but some of the scenes were creepier than anything I've seen in any incarnation of the Rangers. If you thought Lord Zedd was scary, some moments in this flick make him look like a cute, cuddly puppy. Having Rita wear a see-through, net top in one scene was also unnecessary. Though the final battle was intense, the last moment--simply swatting Rita away--was a bit anticlimactic. Even with its problems, this was fun; still, I'm glad this one flopped, because I'd much rather watch the Rangers on television. The original theatrically released Mighty Morphin film, as well as Turbo, proved that Saban's superheroes should stick to the small screen...and this film just proves it even further.
