Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - The Movie (1995)

I Miss My Childhood

Now like most kids, I loved the Power Rangers, I loved the intense martial arts fights and the general good feeling of good always winning over evil. Today I can still look back on past episodes not with general nostalgia, but as a viewer of today and call it childish but I can still say the Mighty Morphin was the best rangers generation. Although you generally knew that the Rangers would always win out against the bad guy, it was always made in a way in which would have you thinking "well maybe they wont pull through this time". It's a genuinely fun and cool show for the kids and the big kid in all of us who struggles to hold onto the past.

The story focuses around a mysterious egg prison found in a building site, it's opened by Rita and Lord Zedd to release the evil Ivan Ooze. Ooze was locked away by Zordon 6 thousand years ago and now Ooze is seeking revenge, he destroys the crystaline chamber keeping Zordon alive and is what provided the rangers with their power. Now, the rangers must set on a quest on an ancient planet to unlock a secret power which will help save Zordon and the universe.

The Power Rangers was never a show about great action or complete fantasy, it was a show that gave a great message about friendship and self belief. It always had the underlining message about sticking by those you care about and defending those in trouble. It did this in my mind without being too cheesy or too insulting to the child's intelligence. They portray this message superbly in this movie and as always places that along side some great action.

The special effects of this movie are, for the time amazing and it clearly has a much bigger budget than its TV counterpart. The zord animations aren't perfect but are much preferred to the traditional man in a crazy suit in a model city. It is cool and Ivan Ooze makes for a great one off evil villain that is so evil even locks away Rita and lord Zedd. A great movie all around, it isn't something that new fans will enjoy as it's very much a film for the fans of the traditional series. To those now too old to call themselves rangers fans simply because it makes you seem creepy, it's something that can give you an enjoyable nostalgia feel. September 1, 2008

Another Childhood Favorite!

As a child, I loved the original Power Rangers! Now that I'm out of high school, I still miss the original series. The movie was/is awesome! Ivan Ooze has escaped and Lord Zedd needs his help to stop the Rangers for good. When Ooze wants to control the world and destroys the Command Center and almost kills Zordon, the Rangers have lost their power and travel to another planet to find the Great Power. After they retrieve the power, they go back to earth to stop Ivan Ooze. The special effects are awesome and the storyline is sweet! If you are a fan of the original, you'll love the movie.

Power Rangers - The Movie

I purchased this movie for my grandson's 3rd birthday. He loves it and wants to watch it all the time. He imitates the kung fu moves, which is better than a lot of the violence you see in movies, even ones geared for the younger crowd.

The humor is hokey, but considering the target audience it is fine. There is enough goo, special effects and colorful costumes to please a young group, boys and girls.

I watched it myself 4 times in one rainy afternoon with my grandson, Nathan, and it was ok. He loves it and that's what counts. Four stars. February 24, 2008
