Power Rangers The Movie: Recreating The Characters

On March 24th, 2017, the Power Rangers will hit theaters with their first movie since 1997.  However this will be a recreation of the original series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers which debuted on television in 1992.  It appears they are going with a different vibe than the show with a darker, more serious, superhero movie, as well as getting rid of the traditional costumes for Iron Man inspired armor.  I want to see three things from the movie...

1. Cutting Edge Special Effects

With it being a movie rather than a television show, and with it being 2017, I want to see some groundbreaking special effects.  Probably with the Megazords, their giant robots that they used to fight large creatures.

2. A Scary Villain

Hunger Games alumni Elizabeth Banks is the villain of the film Rita Repulsa and from the brief glimpse of her in the trailer she looks pretty creepy and the way she floated above Trini or Kimberley, I couldn't tell who it was, she looked like Freddy Krueger doing that. So hopefully the threat will be real and scary in this modern retelling.

3. A Good Story

Let's face it, even though the show was good, it was still cheesy and made for kids.  Now not all kids shows were like that, Justice League and Batman the animated series had great storytelling.  With the current superhero boom in movies there are some good and not so good stories.  Hopefully this falls into the former and has great writing.

The Power Rangers are known around the world as one of the longest running kid shows ever.  But that's all its ever been a kids show.  Hopefully this provides a new and awesome look at our childhood.  Power Rangers hits theaters next year!  Thanks for reading!
