Except Kamen Rider has it's roots in darker, more serious storytelling with it's original concepts.

Power Rangers was lighthearted and goofy from it's very inception.

Power Rangers has proven with RPM and Time Force that they can find a good middle ground to tell better stories without going full Shin Kamen Rider on us. I'm remaining hopeful that it can do the same with this movie.

I'm very excited for this film... I've been a fan since 93. I'm not one of those fans to bash change in a TV or comic movie. I go to a movie to be entertained. So far the teaser is getting good feedback and I'm very excited about that. I'm going to enjoy this movie because I'm a fan and I love the dark tone of the film. What works for TV doesn't always work on the big screen and let's face it... The zords in this new movie are gonna blow everyones minds. Can't wait for the full reveal of them!

Sing it!!! I love you already. Keep this up and we're going to be good friends. :lol

Not to put a damper on your excitement, but it's worth noting that many who don't like the way this movie is shaping up base it on the perceived tone and quality, not the mere fact that it "changed." The fact that it's trying so hard to be the very exact homogenous Hollywood tone I expected it to be is the main beef. "Change" is itself neither good or bad, but depends on the circumstances. Criticizing people who criticize change is no different from those you criticize.

Also, considering the Transformers movies, Pacific Rim, and a dozen other big budget Hollywood movies with rampant CGI exist, I can't imagine the Zords being anything especially mindblowing.

Except as noted in the post right before yours PR has done "dark" before...without going full 2edgey4me which is where this movie looks to be headed.

Or if this movie continues it's pattern of ripping things off from other movies they'll just be AOE Dinobots.

A nod to original Trini in Power Rangers 2017 trailer?
 

Anyone notice Trini's T-shirt at the end of the teaser?... Could this be a tribute to the original Yellow Ranger Trini played by actress Thuy Trang in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers? Becky G. Who is playing Trini in the 2017 Power Rangers movie is seen in the teaser wearing a 1973 shirt.. Could this be a tribute/easter egg to Thuy Trang in the film who was born in 1973?

LMAO!!! well then consider me a good friend lol.

This is a new generation and why would I as a life long fan since 93 want the new film to be like the shows? What works on TV cant always work on the big screen and its about time that the rangers are moving in this direction. Today teens deal with bullying, and all sorts of issues and I like the fact that its in the film. Also I love the costumes. People need to stop comparing it to Iron Man. Iron Man sucks and is no Power Ranger. Your just one of those people who hate change and you think the "in thing to do" is cast judgment because you see other people doing it. If you are casting judgment, then don't look, watch, or see the film. You say "ripping things from other films" what did they rip? Because they wear mech suits? Oh so all of a sudden no one can wear a battle suit in a film because of Iron Man? Robocop? Please!!! People need to stop the bitching.

You didn't put a damper on anything... Why would I care what the hell you think? lmfao!!! Your opinion means nothing to me. I'm real excited for the film. Its funny people like you want to bitch and moan about it because its the "in thing to do" like every other film that comes out because its the new trend to bash new things but bottom line, you will be there opening night so why complain when you can just look forward to it. You bring up Transformers... I'm a child of the 80s and there is no way I would have watched a live action Transformers film if they looked like they did in the 80s cartoon. Its not realistic or believable, And as far as the zords being mind blowing, I ment compared to the original shows.

Well, there are design cues that resemble Iron Man here and there, from the glowing chest piece on the center to the overall silhouette that resemble Tony Stark's suit with a techno-organic aesthetic to name a few.
Personally I do not mind the techno-organic aesthetic they are pushing for cause it does look less like a spandex suit with a zipper on the back, but the suits could look better if they trim-down and go for a slightly more slimmer look and which is why I think the 1995 suits had the right amount of extra suit details.

And also you gotta understand that the recent trailer alone sure felt like a mishmash of the Breakfast Club and Chronicle with a teacup spoonful of MMPR.

So I went to the movies last night to see the newest Madea movie. In the lobby/hall area they had two of the Ranger movie posters. Blue and Yellow. I don't know if anyone notices,, but there's some kind of odd texture/raised print on the suits and armor. Not easy to explain. But the suits aren't flat armor suits.
