Let us begin by looking back.

A no-name director looking to make a splash decided to cash in on the nostalgia of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and decided to create his own dark gritty version of Power Rangers. He created a trailer featuring the return of Lord Zedd in a slumlord like role declaring revenge on the Power Rangers. It was dark, it was gritty, and a lot of people jumped on the hype wagon immediately.

With surging popularity, Dominic (the director) took his film to Kickstarter, to have the fans fund his project. Now, there's many accounts from various people who claim to know Dominic or people that used to be his friend, and many claim the only reason he was doing this was to get his name out there, that he actually had no real passion for Power Rangers past a few memories when he was a kid.

Drama ensues on RangerBoard when Dominic comes across as a douchebag to fans while urging them to give him cash so he can make this film. The actors visit hospitals telling kids they're the Power Rangers (which they are not). Dominic goes as far as to say "I don't care about the haters - they're going to watch it anyways, so what do I care?" (not verbatim).

The MMPR Film is banned from discussion at RangerBoard. Not long after, it's banned from RangerCrew as well. We opened discussion here and tried to keep it positive, even having various actors pop in to promote the film and answer some questions. I was in talks to have an interview with Dominic, to help him clear the air a bit about the bad press he had received.

Nothing came of it. He never replied to my E-mails. I even offered the courtesy of him pre-approving questions as to not allow the interview to take an unnecessary negative spin. For whatever reason - we were just not that important to him.

Now let's look at the Kickstarter.

Started over a year ago, the Kickstarter raised $41.907 of it's $18,500 goal. The original promise was that this would be a short movie-like film. After the goal was reached, numerous updates followed asking everyone to donate $5 so they could make even more cool things.

After the Kickstarter ended and time progressed, the "movie" changed to "web episodes". Already failing to meet the promised product, fans had the right to ask for their money back. The promised release date was January 2014. Nothing was released. Yet another milestone reached for fans to have the right to ask for their money back. Another release date is given - April 2014.

It is now July 2nd, 2014, a full year after the Kickstarter has ended. The only thing given was a quick trailer. The cast has gone quiet (though they do bug the actual Power Rangers to get their endorsement of their film). The director is all but gone. Three months since the promised release date and still no release date at this time. Instead, we're getting "mini-episodes" to explore the background of the movie that honestly, no one really gives a damn about at this time.

So - is it time to get your money back? Sound off.
