imo you shouldn't look at the scores, but rather the actual reviews. One negative one in particular criticized the lack of Muslim, Jews and queer people and said that you should let your kids watch Suicide Squad or Ant-Man instead

I know, but I never like the critics with the snoby opinions thinking if Movie A is the same then Movie B should be like that as well.

Yup. there are good reviews and bad reviews like there is with everything people do. A review saying a movie is bad is not automatically on the same level as another review that gives a low score.

I'd take critics over your overly defensive, juvenile behaviour any day. Holy shit.

See, this is why I never get the hate for critics, because the most anyone can muster as far as an arguement against them is "Don't listen to them, think for yourselves!" yet I only ever hear that in response to negative criticism. If the critics were all loving this movie you'd be praising them and using it as evidence that the film is great... because at least one fan did when the first reviews came out positive, and said the film was actually good because those first reviews were positive.

Double standards, much?

After reading the review, you realise that was a joke on the reviewer's part, right?

After all, this movie opens with someone jerking off a bull and mistaking it's cum for milk. Yes.

This about covers what I was afraid of with the movie:

There's a distinct difference between SAYING you think for yourself and actually doing it.

Usually the ones doing the latter don't need to do the former.

And you have every right to not take my opnion, frankly I don't care if you think I'm juvenile. But anyways, I would never praise a critic regardless if they praised a movie I like or not. I try not to acknowledge them as much as possible.

Indeed.

Hence why it's been practically all you've talked about so far.

Also, reading through more reviews, because I literally ahve nothing to better to do since I ended up not workign today, the one review's mention of Ant Man and Suicide Squad is directly in reference to the safe, pandering nature of the movie. His point is not that they're better movies, but that why would kids seek out the genericized, inoffensive Power Rangers movie when there's more distinct movies that at least have some kind of identity. (granted I hate Suicide Squad, but his point wasn't really about that movie specifically so sub in whatever not-shit Superhero movie of your choice)

Honestly, this movie just sounds more and more like the worst aspects of the Transformers movies all mashed together and cranked up to eleven.

Maybe because it's the current subject?

You know what happen when a subject I try to avoid gets brought up? I avoid it.

Generally I do to. But someone said they were tired of people demonizing critics. I gave my reason why I did. And you had to go on the defensive about my opinion.

I wouldn't really call it defensive. That would imply I had any doubts or insecurities about my arguement, when it's pretty clear anyone who has a hate-on for critics are the ones who feel threatened.

I was merely pointing out how silly that is.

What.

And it may be silly. But it's how I view it.

I hate Screen Junkies. They just released a review of it and were very disrespectful of it. They went in wanting to hate it and they came out hating because that's exactly how they were going to be regardless. This could be Lord Dionysus himself coming down from Olympus with the offerings of the finest wine and cheese and they'll still hate it because his toga has Power Rangers on it.

It's hate by association so had it not been titled Power Rangers they would call it "What Pacific Rim should have been." Or, "Breakfast Club with a toku spin." But nope, because it's Power Rangers, automatic hate. They said it's too much like the show, then't it's not enough like the show. They hated the build up because they didn't like that the film actually had character development.

And then they proceeded to spoil the film without any spoiler warnings. They have no respect for the franchise or the fans looking forward to this film and just assume this will be seen as a garbage film despite more positive reviews than BvS, Transformers, or Fantastic Four.

Obviously this film seems to be a mixed bag. But the consensus is that it is a fun film over all and that's all I care about. And that's why I agree with GreenPsychoRanger and Annuga. It's really better to go see the film and judge for yourself than take the critics at face value. Clearly the reviews are all over the place, ranging from complete trash to a godsend for the Superhero genre.

It's good not to be in an echo chamber and that's why it's good to look at positive and negative reviews, but the best negative reviews are those who are honest. Some actually are simply put it: a movie for the fans. While other critics clearly don't know what they're talking about. Having taken classes in college on movie reviews I can tell what reviews are constructive and insightful, and others that are mean spirited and hateful for the sake of being hateful.

Go see the film and have fun, good or bad it appears to be a fun film either way. I myself cannot wait to go see it.

I'd rather not waste my time and money on shitty movies thanks.

And odds are, I'm betting you're basing your opinion on these "shitty movies" on those of the critic. No matter how hard a person tries, they cannot always completely separate their personal preferences from their job. A small part of those preferences will always find a way to influence a person's opinion/criticism. And that, for the most is why I truly do not read critics reviews. THe fact that people follow them at their word just makes it worse for me.

Hey Split Lip!!! Does that sound better/make more sense to you? :lolol

That's why most people myself included view multiple reviews before we make up our mind.

And no I'm basing my view on being forced to sit through shitfests like Suckerpunch and Epic Movie.

I enjoyed both of those movies.

Screen Junkies are so full of themselves ever since they did that not funny at all roasts.

Just like the producers of the movie, it seems.

I find critics to be problematic in some cases, I also find the fans to be just as problematic. I find that movies usually fall somewhere just about smack dab in the middle and they're usually okay to solidly good.

You can't fully trust either side of the argument, you must take it all in, see it for yourself and decide then and only then.

If the movie's truly good, then it's good. If it's not, then it's truly not.

Critics were right about Deadpool and everyone expected them to hate it, yet they pretty much seemed to either really like it or in some cases love it.

Critics were wrong about Haywire, they loved it, but nearly ALL of the audience couldn't stand it. (I was one of them.)

Fans love Marvel movies (for the most part) and critics usually agree with them, but I thought Doctor Strange fell flat in some places and that it was a thinly veiled retread of Iron Man. (Is it a terrible film? No, but I'm not sure the fans and critics should've given it such a high score.)

Fans liked most of the X-Men reboots whereas I found them confusing due to all the time manipulation and critics also found some of it to be more style over substance.

You're rarely ever going to please everyone all of the time, except in a very few cases such as Citizen Kane, but we're probably never going to see another one like that come along, it more or less broke the mold.

Fans are going to want to defend this tooth and nail, critics will probably try their best to rip it apart, but if the film is solid, it'll do well and it won't matter what others think, only what YOU think. That's really all that should be important at the end of the day.

I think the trick is to find critics who give you valuable insight, whether it be because you have similar tastes or because you know that the two couldn't be further apart if you tried.

As most people said, It's best to judge the movie yourself, or check the audience rating for RT when it comes out.
I remember when Ghostbusters 2016 happened and how critics liked it, only because of the "Strong Female Character" and how "progressive" it is, but the audience hated it because it didn't respect the franchise and just seen as a cheap cash in. In the end, word of mouth prevails.

Tomorrow at 9:15 ET tune into ign'S Facebook, or Youtube, website to watch a livestream of the stars arriving on the red carpet at the movie premiere

Who do we hope in the sequel will play Tommy/Green Ranger/White Ranger?

I just hope its either Leo Howard or Booboo Stewart.

Good, solid fun.

My wife and I enjoyed it.

I actually enjoyed it! It was a fun movie!

Too bad we won't able to beat Beauty and the Beast this weekend. I did wish that they pick a better release date. I wonder if August would have work better or not.

Huh, we were wrong, there wasn't a [spoiler]Tommy Oliver [\spoiler]hint
But rather Tommie, as in female

Saw the movie right after work with a co worker the other day.

1.) When did 2 hours + become the norm for movies nowadays?

2.) Didn't see the need to switch out Billy and Zach. I know it was was a bit of some criticism back in the day. For having the black guy be the Black Ranger. When I first saw Power Rangers I never took offense to it. (I took offense to them gender swapping the Yellow Ranger though)

Over all I enjoyed the movie. They actually painted the picture of how it would be in real life. From their suits, the putties they faught, to their zords.

My only complaints are that it was too long (but if you're into it, you won't really notice) and I didn't like what they did with Goldar.

But anyone who is a fan of the original series should be pleased with this film.

But the yellow ranger in the original 1993 MMPR show was also female...

Huh...

I think he means the genderswapping from Zyuranger back in the day.

No, I meant from the original Super Sentai Series (Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger). See I grew up in Japan (my father was stationed there in the military) So I only knew about Super Sentai. When we came back to the states. That's when I saw Power Rangers.

But he didn't mention it was about Zyuranger and anybody reading would think he's referring to MMPR, especially as he mentioned Zach and Billy by name

He was talking explicitly about the first time he saw Power Rangers back in he 90's though. I understood what he meant. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My apologies

No probs 😊

Ha! JDF got kicked out of the premiere.

I saw articles about this on several other sites, a few people tried to defend him saying that security was disrespectful and "how dare they kick him out of his own film. Sigh. It's funny how he thought saying "That's me in the movie!" would stop security.

Will we hope the new green ranger be male? I wish for Tommy played by Leo Howard.
