Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie

I have very mixed feelings about this movie, and did since I was small.  I watched it in the movie theatre and bought it at K-mart the day it came out on VHS.  I know that I have touched this movie a little bit before.

Even though Jason, Trini, and Zack weren't in this movie I was still super excited to see it.  I'll start off with the things I didn't like about this movie.  (Please keep in mind that this is my opinion)

1.)  The name of it.  Really they couldn't have gotten any more creative then  Mighty Morphin Power Rangers:  The Movie.

2.)  The costume's. I know that a lot of people liked them.  I thought they looked cheap and to be perfectly honest dumb.  I know Saban had a bigger budget and didn't use stock footage, but still.....

3.)  Zedd and Rita, I'm sorry but I thought that they should've been in it much more.

4.)  The death and then revival of Zordon, I still don't get it.  I understand out of his chamber he can't survive, but how the heck did they bring him back to live!  I know somebody will more than likely enlighten me on this.

5.)  The zords looked horrible, I haven't actually watched this movie in a long time, but once again even as a child I thought they looked really fake and too computerized.


What I did like about this movie.

1.)  The action.

2.)  Dulcea, as I was a young girl at this time it was nice to have a really strong female.

4.)  Adam's one liners.  "I'm a frog."  "Welcome, to Jurassic Park."

5.) I did like the Fred story line also.  It was nice to know what was going on in Angel Grove, while the Rangers were on Phados.

6.)  When the show went back on television they had to basically redo the whole movie to incorporate Kakuranger footage.  Which I don't mind at all because Kakuranger is one of my favorite of the  Super Sentai.


Overall, this wasn't a bad movie.  It was cheesy like the television show, but with a bigger budget and didn't use had Japanese stock footage. I might watch it again after typing this.
