Power Rangers (2017)

Movie: Power Rangers
Rating: PG-13 (for sci-fi violence, action, language, and some crude humor)
Release Date: March 24, 2017
Review:

2 Stars; Average


Is nostalgia blinding? Probably. Director Dean Israelite seems to think so. In fact, in his new blockbuster Power Rangers, he banks on it. Full of outrageous action and camp, Power Rangers is a film clearly geared for pre-teen boys, but anyone old enough to remember watching Fox Kids while eating cereal before school is likely to find it at least mildly amusing. Is it a let down? Meh. Anyone who expected cinema gold from a movie featuring a giant floating face named Zordon likely deserves disappointment. Those who seek simply to have a good time, however, are likely to find one.
