It looks like a decidedly more alien version of the original. It's actually really similar other than the stylistic changes. I like it.

Aside from the eyes I'm actually okay with it.

Why even bother to base this movie on the original series at all? Why not just go with totally original characters and concepts instead of taking notable ones and running them through the hollywood blockbuster blender until they appear totally unrecognizable? I just don't get it anymore. If this is supposed to be a movie for "fans" then it should have at least taken what they've seen before into consideration. At this point it seems only the ranger suits have done that and that's still a pretty big stretch to me.

I actually like it. Maybe a bit more "organic" looking than I expected, but after seeing the zords I was definitely prepared for worse.

I don't care if I'm being "whiny" or "missing the point" of what they're going for or "can't appreciate the design" like some people have said online today, this design is garbage. It's ugly, it's devoid of character, and I don't like it.
It absolutely misses the mark in every way possible. Like just about everything else design wise from this movie. The designs have been consistently weird and bad coming out of this movie, from the ground up this world has been built very poorly in my eyes. Alpha just looks too alien. And I get it, that's a DUMB thing to say. He's an alien robot. The problem is that he's totally devoid of any of the things that made him memorable, he's that kind of alien to me now.

I hate to feel so disappointed & be so negative, but I just can't find anything to be excited about with this movie What does this have going for it? Quote:
I mean, they've changed so much, the inspiration from MMPR seems token at this point. People are going to be just as confused as to why everything's so different as if it were entirely original anyway. |

I first saw this on Instagram and scrolled past it thinking it was an Ultraman villain .

That being said, I honestly feel like this Alpha more closely resembles his original design than anything else we've seen so far. Last edited by Deus; 11-30-2016 at 07:18 PM.. |

I hate to feel so disappointed & be so negative, but I just can't find anything to be excited about with this movie Loosely...LOOSELY based off the property its based on in some bland attempt to attract 'new' fans and hope to cash in on 'old' fans if possible with nostalgic names and stuff. Yes, it's not the Power Rangers we know from our childhood outside of borrowed names and locations really, but Hollywood just ran WAY too much with the 'alien' theme for this. Just way too much. The suits looking like a combo of Green lantern meets Iron Man, the zords with their weird looks (Mastodon is a Dung Beetle now it seems), and now we see Alpha and...yikes. I don't even think I want to see Zordon or Goldar at this point because I think they're not going to look good. If anything at this point, I'd guess Zordon will look like this... with Bryan Cranston's voice coming out of it. I hate to say it, but this movie is screaming box office bomb all over. Doesn't help that it comes out in March, which isn't a big movie release month.
