I finally got to see this tonight. I thought that overall it was well done. I grew up watching MMPR, it was a part of my Saturday mornings. I was obsessed with it. I was surprised at the respect that this movie had for the original. It didn't feel like it ever forgot about the core values of MMPR. For the most part, everything made sense in the movie, apart from some nitpicks. I thought that the cast was great. The standouts were Jason, Kim, and Billy. I actually really liked the direction that they took Billy in. The actor did a great job. Trini (Becky G) was the weakest link, in my opinion. Speaking of Trini, however, I thought that the way her sexual orientation was handled was quite good. The change didn't feel forced. Well done with that Hollywood. That being said, I think she had some cringe worthy lines. I took some time to warm up to Zordon. I thought he came across as a pompous @$$hole for the first bit, but when he came around I enjoyed it. Alpha 5 was great I thought in keeping the humor that I remember the character having. His design also grew a lot on me. Same can be said for the design of the suits and the zords individually. I still don't care for the megazord look whatsoever. Same goes for Goldar. What a terrible concept. Now for Rita. She was creepy. Banks went over the top. I thought it worked. In the original MMPR, Rita was always over the top IMO, so this was very much in character. Can tell that she had fun playing the role, and it showed. I thought that with the death of Billy being the catalyst so to speak for the team learning how to morph was a nice touch that added some depth to the story. The teaser with Tommy was good. Can't wait to see where they go with it. The biggest geek moment for me was the scene with the zords all running together, with the Go Go Power Rangers tune going. Man, that took me back to my childhood. This movie did what it needed to, for me at least.

I'm with you with all of that, except that. I don't know why they chose to use the original theme from the first movie... which sucked even back then.

The song that was used in the film was different then the original. It seemed to me that it was more or less a retuning of the original. I have not been able to find the song from the film yet, as I would like to listen to both to compare them. But eh, it was a total geek moment that took me back down memory lane.
 
Mid-June release for digital and late June for Blu.

Guys, I hate to say it, but I don't see us getting a sequel.

It needed roughly $200 just to break even, and even though it's yet to open in a few bigger markets, it's only at $150M (ish) at the moment. Even if it does hit that $200M in theaters, I don't see Blu sales being strong enough to justify a sequel financially.

Of course, I would love to see it, but I'm thankful we at least got this.
 
damn That sucks so much man.

I mean, I can't say for sure. But I read around on a number of sites, trying to figure out how companies determine if a movie was a 'success' financially. Most basically said, you need to make at least double production budget just to break even.....so not looking too good for the Power Rangers. :(
 
I thought people would love this. I"m sure the nostagia was there but the marketing wasn't. I don't know. I thought this would do transformer numbers but I guess not probably cause they didn't suit up til like the end.

Yeah, it definitely didn't capture audiences like I was hoping. I was hoping for a 60M$ US opening, and we barely got $40M.

Theaters get half the box office, plus if you add the advertising budget that the studio spends, then yes. It needs twice what budget cost.

So at 150, this isa complete loss right now.
