There is room at the table for BOTH universes to exist side by side without affecting each other, going in different directions and doing different things.

Part of it is they can't let go and want everything catered to them and so they're throwing an entitlement hissy fit.

This argument again? You aren't treading any new ground dragging that one out. In a lot of cases you're probably right, but broadly applying it to everyone who dislikes the film is ridiculous. I never watched Power Rangers. My nostalgia connection to the series is precisely zero. I'm not judging the film based on how much it's like the TV show. I'm judging this film strictly on its own merits. It looks awful. (Note: Apparently I have to spell this out. That is my opinion. I am not stating it as a universal fact.)

This film gives every appearance of being just another CG-laden mess utilizing an existing property to put butts in the seats. The action appears unremarkable and derivative, the acting seems mediocre, and the writing awkward. Market this film as another nostalgia-laden property or even it's own thing and my opinion isn't going to magically change. Strictly on its own, this does not look like a good movie. (Again, to me. Enjoy it all you want. I hope it makes a billion bucks at the box office and spawns sixty-seven sequels. I'm just not interested in seeing it.)
