[Tenebrous]

Eh, reading that article made my opinion of it worse still. It seems more like they just wanted to make some absurd dark and gritty movie (playing into the cliché despite trying to sound like they're being original) and wanted to seem smart so they added the barest elements of Power Rangers. It's a deconstruction with none of the redeeming elements.

A dark version of PR could be done but I personally think it would have to be a reconstruction. The original is so idealistic that one isn't really adapting it if you just drain all the colour out and make everyone betray each other constantly.

On the good side, it was fairly well made. While I disagree with the aim, the lighting did make the suits look less happy and bright while keeping the colours and the little opening segment had good effects. The fight choreography and machine effects were good too, although they felt out of place.
