I think they did a good job making it look like the '90s TV show.

Yikes. That looked bad. I mean, it is pretty much what you'd expect from a Power Rangers movie now. I'm sure kids will love it.

I'm pretty sure the song is now in "Bad to the Bone"/Inception horns tier of never going to go away. But hey, at least it isn't the Lorde-ified version of the Power Rangers theme I was expecting following that first trailer...
That's what I think a lot of us are forgetting. It's for a new generation of kids.
OUR Power Rangers movies were... well, they were special.
Lots of spinning...
It's too bad that the white guy has to be the lead, because the Black Ranger has the leader look down pat.
Pink and Yellow Rangers are pretty good looking too.

Topless Red Ranger looks weird. He ain't got no shoulders.

This isn't the DCEU. The fans have been the ones who are the most critical about this movie. If anyone's gonna go to bat for it, it's gonna be the casual viewers who just like their brainless action and CGI disaster porn.

Honestly, there are a ton of other songs they could use other than Power. Hell, I poorly edited New Slaves in there instead.

Just a bad song choice.
And Blue is putting in the work. Enjoying him.

Nostaglia has nothing to do with a movie being dumb fun.

Yeah, the rap music doesn't really fit the trailer.
...though the original theme doesn't either.

Power's inclusion in anything peaked at Saints Row the Third.
Brainless action and CGI disaster porn fails in Hollywood all the time if it's a bad movie. Add a shitty property to it to blind fans to the quality of the actual movie and you have yourself new TMNT and its sequels.

To each their own, but when I think "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" I don't think "Rap Music".

TMNT fans hate BayTurtles...
I wish it was anything but Power, like I love that song but nah bruh.
Nostalgia of source material makes people excuse a shitty movie as just dumb fun.

Other way around IMO. People can enjoy a movie if it's dumb fun regardless of nostaglia or not. I mean, only reason I'm interested in this is because it looks like Chronicles with a bigger budget and more sci-fi stuff
Have you seen the source material? How else would you categorize it other than dumb fun?

The "Behind the Scenes" stories from the first MMPR film are some fantastic reads.

links or examples?
Tell me the deets, friend.
Some might, but that doesn't stop them from giving them their money for nostalgia hype. Which is more my point.

A kids show made for kids. But nostalgia and Hollywood's ability to siphon money for that nostalgia regardless of the movies actual quality will turn it into a Hollywood cgi blockbuster.

Not bad, definitely want to see it. Not a fan of Rita, though.
looks terrible, and not just in the way that Power Rangers was always kinda terrible but in the new hollow 21st century cgi-addled blockbuster way. the original at least had a bunch of campy wirefu martial arts and colorful low-budget effects, this looks to be all transformers sharp metal nonsense and awful quick-cut action with zero visual legibility
rap music is mainstream now and has been for over a decade. it may have been a more niche genre during the original run of power rangers but the young children this movie is for grow up listening to hip-hop. They (and most anybody in touch with music culture, frankly) don't associate hip-hop with "certain kinds" of media. it's just popular music.

The suits look overdesigned but better than the originals. Honestly if they wanted to modernize the suits I feel like they should have studied iron man's design more than transformer's when designing the suits/creatures.
To be honest my favorite designs/style were the Pirate(Megaforce) Power Rangers, even though the original hold a nostalgic place for me.

So, Goldar and the Megazord are basically no bigger than an apartment building....
well, that explains the weird human-to-zord size difference on that poster where pink ranger is made to look like she taller than a tree.
Also, why does every movie like this now have to resemble Chronicle in basic beats and low-budget approach to superheroisms? Yes, I know Landis is still credited with this movie, but a lot of shitty movies take this structure now, for some reason.
I mean, why would we need to be introduced that way to "people who get super from wearing suits" when all you need is the goddamn suit. It's literally the whole point of these mecha things that the people in the suits are not super at all.

Honestly, I like the suits in motion too. Even though I'm not a fan of how monochrome they are. That said, I do think these posted earlier look better:
Credited on Power Rangers? I don't think he is. Either way, I kind of like the super-outside-the-suit angle. They fought outside the suits all the time in the show anyway.

At the very least this seems like some nostalgic fun though the horrible music really brought the trailer down.
Alpha is better than I thought but still inferior to the old one. I like the black guy. Heisenberg is a wallpaper now and pulls it off. Wtf at Rita... I hope the final battle is not a Marvelish army of faceless goons. The Zords look cool in motion. They really shouldn't have snubbed the original theme song for the trailer but the callback at the end is a nice touch. I might go see this movie.
Everyone is always going to bring up that fucking movie as a example for believability in films. SMH Sephzilla

It looks exactly like how I would have imagined it to look. I don't find it to be offensive, it is just... modern Hollywood cheese. I would have preferred it to look more Japanese-gonzo style. Oh well.
That Kamloops landscape though... funny how I was in one of these locations just a few weeks ago. I keep looking closely at the scene where everyone was running just to see if I can spot anyone that I know. I know two people who where extra's during the "panicking people" scenes. One of then were in this movie at three different times, and he was wearing different clothes in every scene. The guy is well over six feet tall , so he would be easy to spot.

It's like Hollywood has forgotten about simplicity or good middle ground designs in its big blockbuster movies. The over-designed objects are soon fighting for the audiences' attention and eventual become visual noise on screen.
A giant golden robot would've been enough, instead of the frivolous meltiness.

Not only is "Power" a poor choice for the trailer, they didn't even use it right. Should've cut it so that after he says "I guess every superhero needs his theme music." it would switch to the OG theme.
I still think the suits, Zords, Goldar & Rita look like trash but I think movie might turn out okay.
