I think it looks cool. I was worry that the movie would try to copy off of the Transformers movie style and vibe. This movie looks like a early-mid 2000s Hollywood superhero origin type of movie which does worry me.

Movie Billy reminds me way to much of Dino Thunder Ethan.
Black guy who's the Blue Ranger and the Triceratops user, that can take a hit (granted, I'm sure all the Rangers can tank a hit, but Ethan's power in Dino Thunder was an energy scale forcefield, so yea). Also he's the smart guy, obviously. I mean we've had Black guys and Blue Rangers before, no reason not to, but way to much syncs up with the Dino Thunder ranger more so than Mighty Morphin. Pity that Zach is the only one with barely in screentime in this trailer. We basically see him on the roof and vaguely as one of the five during groups shots, and that's it.

I can't be worst than the show. Without nostalgia, MMPR is pretty awful. I hope the movie does well that it can make PR into a bigger brand name and more popular too. Power Rangers is still down by many people while other kids stuff like Transformers, Pokemon and Ninja Turtles are consider to be acceptable by most adults for some reason.

Pokemon doesn't really have that (though with the Pokemon Special manga and the game's lacking Ash, there's a bit of that), and even with the Pokemon Go craze, the immediate push back by others show that they think Pokemon was a childish thing, and shouldn't be brought back (like it ever left ). I would like to see some different interpretations of Power Rangers, but unfortunately the first people up to bat to write such things usually think that means 'fuck this franchise, it's too kiddy. I'm going to -improve' it with tits and gore, and swearing. Lots of swearing. Also no one is really a friend, they just punch the same bad guys. Dim the colors too'. Then an apologist comes by and ramps up the camp to 11, making it more corny than the original. Honestly, while I have no hatred for the original season, what I hate with franchises like these is that we the fans all know later seasons we either like more or know are written and acted better, but everyone is stuck on season 1 stuff. Look at Pokemon Go. Literally only has Kanto Pokemon, but it's treated as this celebration of Pokemon's years-spanning franchise. Please, get me some Cyndaquils and Gachomps on there, then maybe I'll play. (Sorry to dump all this in my response to you, this movie just brings up a lot of observations I have about American-side anniversary projects).

I think the whole "getting the coins from blowing up a shiny rock" is a bit odd, but everything else was all smiles for me.

Wow, that was excellent.
I can finally say that I'm really looking forward to this movie now. |

Please don't be a generic reboot. I hope Power Rangers is before High School.

This looks really generic, honestly. The look of it all is pretty cool and kinda unique, but the angstiness comes across really forced and dumb.

I think this works. Obviously they're going for "The Breakfast Club with superpowers" instead of "Saved By the Bell with Superpowers", which works, even though I admit that one of the things I enjoy about the original team is that they were all close friends from before becoming rangers.
The Zack Snyder Grey tint was slightly present, and I hope this is about all we get of it. Thankfully, because of the nature of Power Rangers literally being color themed superheroes, it can't get BvS level greyed out. "I've killed Rangers before". I liked that. The slight maturity bump needed for this movie, plus, like the original MMPR movie, establishing that there have been ranger teams before (though not necessarily implying that Zordon was involved with them, unlike the one that trapped Ivan Ooze). |

What this trailer did that worked:
- Showed bullying on 3 of the 5 Rangers - - That works because let's face it - EVERYONE has been bullied at one point. Immediately, we all pick one that we relate to (for me it was Billy) - Focused on teenagers being teenagers of today - - The villain was saved till the end - - We now have an interest in the 5 characters (well, at least 3 or 4, poor Zack) - - Detention, car accidents, bullying, romance, angst, etc. ... all things relevant to today - They didn't blow their load (sorry for the use of that phrase) in one teaser trailer - - Half shot of one Ranger half morphed - - No Zords - - No Megazord - - No Zordon - - No Alpha 5 - - No Goldar - - No Putties - - No theme song And yet here we are, making it the #1 and #2 trends worldwide on Twitter. I call that a success. Those of you hoping for Day of the Dumpster made in to an hour and a half long movie will be sorely disappointed. This movie is going to focus on the teenagers first, the Power Rangers second, just like the first Transformers focused on Sam and not the Transformers. And that formula worked. If that's the formula they're going for in this first movie, it'll work. And let's face it - EVERYONE loved the first Transformers movie. It only became popular to hate about 3 years ago.
