maxmages So of course it's clear that this is not a good movie, not even the actors or the directors liked the movie. There are a lot of differences between the movie and the series yet the biggest one is this movie actually has a budget, has no stock footage from Japan and the whole toy models of robots are replaced by bad 90s CGI.The main theme of the film's score is a remix of the Power Rangers Orchestra's Go Go Power Rangers theme. And it is awesome and unforgettable. The suits are well designed. The dark tones work well with the light tones. The fight scenes are good. Exciting premise. The movie is fast moving. Paul Freeman is doing well as Ivan Ooze and our main protagonists have good chemistry with each other. The end is decent.I think I rarely saw a movie that stuck so hard in the 90's like this one, so it's pretty fun to enjoy it like a movie Schatz Zeit capsule. Unfortunately, once again, the filmmakers did not understand what the franchise is about and shot totally over target, I know the movie takes way too seriously and much too much on the actor performance of our main heroes on it. Expressing the face that we have overlooked half the movie has probably hurt to participate there. It's a pity, if any, especially science fiction movies try to be heavy and important, they always put the universe at risk, it depends on the balance of this and that, not every film has to go the same way as it was or Lord the rings it would be much better and would give the movie my much nicer meaning if the Power Rangers want to save Zondern because he is their dad figure and mentor figure and not because the universe and the bright side and the dark side of the power are affected by it.Villain Ivan Ooze is a terrible adversary, his power is inconsistent and stupid and his character design is just weird. And even for power rangers relationships. Sect are so awful that even the series makers would make fun of it because drama is so cheap that even Jean-Claude Van Damme could teach them something else and the storyline is too serious and seems to forget that they just a short fun time we should be a roller coaster.The series already had its questionable and ridiculous moments and has disregarded the laws of nature at 1 or 2 places. But this movie is not at all interested in physics and has logic holes and plot-hell.The story is badly written. The spectacle is overly campy and humiliating. Certain scenes go nowhere. Embarrassing dialogue and humor. Van Halen's music does not match the tone of the film, especially since this film was released in the extremely 1990s, while Van Halen's music is more suited to something from the eighties. Tons of action holes in the San Andreas Fault size the villains very little to the film. Annoying sound effects are often heard when the Power Rangers move their hands or make flips. Watching the villains die by squirting on a hard surface and turning into purple mud was utterly ridiculous. Minor figures like a woman in rubber-metallic bikini, indicating that she knows everything. Laughing Quotes + Puns The special effects of the Zords and Megazords were done badly. I'll always prefer practical effects but the computer effects in this movie were so outrageous that I actually prefer this CGI extension because it's so inferior in quality that I'll keep it in my memory forever and ever.But for all the bad things I can say about this movie, I honestly have to admit I love him I've looked at him several times and can not wait to see him again of course the movie is pretty rubbish but he's funnier garbage, funnier Garbage it is nice garbage.The film is simply stuck in the 90s and the song in the credits conjures up a smile on my face every timeI do it and can highly recommend this crazy spectacle to any trash movie fan; Go Go Power Rangers.
filmfan1991 Growing up in the 90s, I like others on this site used to watch Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on TV. When the movie came out in theaters, I never saw it until it came out on VHS. When I did watch the movie I thought it was one of the coolest things I ever saw and I watched it many times whenever I got the chance. How could any kid in the 90s not like this movie? It had great production values, great action (at least to my seven year old eyes), and a fun villain to boot in the form of Ivan Ooze. Looking back now the movie isn't as good as it was when I was a kid but it still has it's charms.MMPR: The Movie takes place some time after what I would assume to be season two of the TV series since it was released during that time period. After the rangers have participate in a charity event involving skydiving, Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa release a morphological being named Ivan Ooze whereupon he wreaks havoc upon the Rangers and Angel Grove.What can I say? The movie is still fun enough but it feels more like an extended episode of the show rather than an actual film. What does make this work somewhat for regular audiences only scarcely familiar with the show, is that it takes place outside the continuity of the show which is both the film's strength and weakness. The higher production values are refreshing with better fight choreography and makeup effects but it makes the film feel like an alternate universe rather than being in continuity with the show. One big gripe I do have with the film and I know that I am not alone with this is that the CGI used in the film is really bad, especially during the Zord fight sequences. It looks like something out of a CGI cartoon made for TV in the 90s and it is very distracting when watching the film. And considering that this film was made four years after Terminator 2: Judgement Day, which had revolutionized CGI in blockbuster films is kind of disappointing. I personally think that they should have stuck with miniatures and models like the TV show did.Acting by the actors who play the Power Rangers is fine all across the board and the characters are likable enough like in the TV series. But the actor who steals the show and keeps this from being a terrible movie is Paul Freeman who plays as Ivan Ooze. The guy underneath all that makeup just lets loose and has fun with the role making him very entertaining and fun to watch. The plot itself is cheesy and not all that different from what's seen in the show, just with better production values. All in all, MMPR: The Movie is a fun, cheesy, extended episode that you can turn your brain off to when you don't have anything better to do. It does have it's flaws and it is not the type of movie that wins awards or wins the approval of critics. But for what its worth, its just a fun nostalgic movie that takes me back to a simpler time to when I was a kid and Power Rangers was in its prime.
yashyamashita this is my favorite movie out of all the power rangers movie released. this is the first movie that i owned (and in VHS back when i was a tiny child).i would watch this every single week and almost had the script memorized. i would wear my pink ranger costume and held onto my action figure while reciting the lines from the movie.cheers for our childhood.
Terryfan As a kid I was one of those who was crazy about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers if you grew up in the 1990s you know everyone was crazy about the series.I can remember during the second season I saw a TV spot for the movie at first I thought I didn't believe it then I saw it again and It just made me go what? I couldn't believe that they were making a movie for it. So I asked my dad to take me and he did he took me and my brother to go see it and it's one of the movies I can still recall the reaction and the emotion I felt in the theater and I saw it 20 years ago when I saw it in 1995 in theaters.The movie centers around the Power Rangers Tommy The White Ranger (Jason David Frank),Kimberly The Pink Ranger (Amy Jo Johnson), Billy The Blue Ranger (David Yost), Rocky The Red Ranger (Steve Cardenas) Adam The Black Ranger (Johnny Yong Bosch), Aisha The Yellow Ranger (Karan Ashley) as they battle against a foe that has been imprisoned by Zordon and now seeks revenge.Ivan Ooze (Paul Freeman) has been in a egg for 6000 years and after he is freed by Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa he begins to attack the Power Rangers.After getting the movie on DVD and watch it again it did bring back the memories of my childhood but of course I look at it through an adult point of view and it has been interesting to say the least.But nevertheless the film is one of the few that ever made me cry in the theater, normally I could handle it but for this one it didn't happen I shed a tear or two in the film and it also made me laugh at the comedy of the film which are still funny as they were back then.Also the soundtrack and music for the film is pretty well balance with something for everyone from classic songs to a score that helps tell the story of the film and looking at it now it's quite the score that you can't help but respect because it help tells the story of the movie. The music just so well balance for a film targeted to kids. The stunt and actions scenes were where the film took off for kids as that's what we wanted for I remember in the theater everyone cheer when the Rangers morph. The story of the film worked for Power Rangers fans. The film is better for those who grew up with the series and for those who are fans of power rangers but some might like to check it out for those who just want to see what was the big thing back than. Nevertheless the film is just a piece of nostalgic. Seeing the movie on the big screen is one of the best times I had at the movies and still feels that way when I watch itMighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie is actually an enjoyable film and it would be good for any fan of Power Rangers and the kids might enjoy it.I give Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie an 8 out of 10 It's Morphin Time!
