I noticed there is quite a lot of resentment on the movie costumes and i don't really see why so i thought i'd dig up some opinions by fellow fans here.
As a kid i really loved the movie, loved every second of it back then and even today i can still enjoy it. Altho i do notice and ackowledge the many errors in it now that i'm older and know a bit more about the behind the scenes turmoil....however, the movie suits themselves still aren't one of the issues for me and i don't get the hate they seem to get. i've read all kinds of things...the suits didn't stay true to the series....the helmets look weird....they look impractical....just a few of the comments i read over and over again. i thought they were really good and cool looking, the ystill had the classic designs incorporated into it, the helmets weren't THAT much diffrent from the tv show so i don't know what the fuzz is about, only pink helmet a little odd shape and even then it never really bugged me. i liked the gold coins chest emblems and overal they just looked like battle armors....you can't expect a big budget movie to still use the lycra/spandex suits can you....sure i loved those suits and it's a staple of the genre but c'mon, in a movie...it would look a little silly. For all the things that went wrong with the movie the suits will never be one of them for me, i'll keep on loving them no matter what anyone says, i would even love to own a nice replica suit for display. |

There's hate for them? I honestly wished they've have used them in the television series. Especailly when they got that Metallic Armor upgrade, would've been neat to get the movie suits. You know. Instead of the sparkly spandex we got instead.

The movie suits were bad ass. I always looked at the movie as Sabans intended vision of what power rangers was supposed to look like, we just can't afford this everyday. Lord knows sparkly spandex wasn't cool. The 3rd season of mmpr is kind of a blur to me anyway.

I'm not really a fan of the movie suits, the designs felt inconsistent and had that busy sinewy look that was popular in the 90's. Probably the biggest problem was that they looked unpolished and it felt as if they were falling apart at the seams (apparently this was true for the White Ranger's suit).
I think a good example of a more complex original suit is the Mega Mode design in Power Rangers Samurai. It felt complete, polished and didn't look as if it was pasted together from various parts. At least not to me.

I agree with ComicGuy, I actually dislike the movie suits as well as the Samurai Mega Mode designs. But I think Mega Mode was better executed.
EDIT: Okay I actually didn't remember the metallic sparkly suits at all so I looked it up. The movie suits, although bad IMO are still better than the sparkly suits. Those are just......wow.

Of course, from a storytelling, practical, in-universe, non-corporate, non-financial point of view, it was a definitely a waste.

They're. . .OK. They kinda suffer from that Batman-movie "let's bulk them up" thing that was all over the early 90's (was there a superhero movie or TV show that didn't get that kinda suit?) but they're not bad, though with the non-White Rangers, I always felt like they could have used a bit more white to balance out the colours, especially as they were so dark.
But effort counts for a lot, and since they didn't just dip the regular suits in glitter, I will give this one to "movie suits." The Mega Mode suits look awesome. I don't know they'd be feasible to do stunt work in, but they look cool, which is half the battle right there. |
