I saw Power Rangers recently, and don't laugh, but I had fun with this film. I grew up on this franchise, and I watched it for many years; even to the point where it might've been weird. This reboot though I think was done well. It has throw backs to the original series for the hard core fans, and it is new enough to bring in a new generation.
I thought the new team did very well, and some had more story than others, but you got enough of each to care about them. Some reviewers have said that Elizabeth Banks is over the top as Rita, but I didn't mind her. I thought she was a little crazy, but that is her character in my opinion. I thought Bryan Cranston was good as Zordan, and I didn't find Alpha 5 annoying; I actually liked him in the movie better than the series.
I like the look of the suits a lot more than the show. The metallic look to them is more modern, and a little cooler than spandex. They did a major product placement which was odd, but didn't take me out of the film. In the end, I think people can have fun with Power Rangers if you ignore the title, and just give it a chance. Not everyone will like it, and I understand that, but overall I say you should give it a look.
