Will Power Rangers 2017 Be Another Transformers Franchise?

Hi guys, I just can't seem to stay out of here over the last few days.  I thought about this a little last night and am thinking about it more now as I sit here watching the original Teen Titans series.  So what do I mean by another Transformers franchise?  I mean another series with a lot of cool special effects and explosions, but absolutely no heart or plot.  Now sure the Transformers makes tons of money because it appeals to people who like action.  However, I believe they will be forgotten within ten or so years after the series ends.  Now with Power Rangers they need to stick to a few things.

Take risks without forgetting the source material.  Obviously this is a remake of the series and everything looks different.  The suits, villains, Zords,etc. It will more than likely be a more mature and a little bit darker outing than the original kids television series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but it should still remember that kids were it's original audience and not do to much to alienate it from that.

The writers need a good plot.  Explosions and special effects can't compensate for a good plot and story.  You need that to keep people interested and wanting more and more than likely if you want them to buy the DVD or Blu Ray, otherwise it will be a one-time viewing.  Nowadays, word travels fast with social media if a movie is good or not.  Now I am not say special effects are bad, you can win awards for things like that and it will get others to watch that normally wouldn't.

Know your limits.  Whether it be the content as mentioned above, or even time limits.  Don't drag it on for almost three hours, Transformers 4 I am looking at you, I think the two hours and four minutes is a pretty good time for a movie.  Don't make a movie to short either, Fantastic 4 (2015) was a mess because the plot was super thin because they didn't give it enough time to flush it out.

Anyways if I don't think of something else to write before then I will be reviewing Power Rangers the movie the day after it comes out, if you like the blog please like the Facebook page and thanks for reading  https://www.facebook.com/superherotalks/
