Power Rangers (2017): Movie Review

Let me begin with this: I forgot that I had placed a hold for this movie at the library.

Yes, you can rent movies from the library. New movies. In some ways I recommend going to your local library, in other ways I wish for you to stay far away so I never have to wait for anything.

Continuing on.

As it happened a good friend from college was in town and we decided to go ahead and give it a shot.

This isn’t a movie for little kids. It IS PG-13 for a reason. The opening scene is enough that I would never want my young child to see it. But if I had a teenager it would be fun to watch and see their reaction to watching that scene with their parent.

The acting was actually pretty good, though the angst with the girls was a bit much, the guys were fantastic. And they upgraded all of the special effects, and one of the things that I appreciated the most was the fact that the outfits actually ended up looking gender neutral. Mostly because they made the guys look like they were wearing bras. I mean, look at this! From straight on they could both be female. They even reference at the end of the movie how no one can tell that the girls are girls.

Overall, as someone who grew up with this series, they did a great job!

(And thank you for the cameo!)
