And please, don't compare focusing on the teens to focusing on Sam. In a movie called Transformers, the titular characters weren't the main focus. That is equivalent to a movie called Power Rangers being focused on Alpha and Zordon with the actual Power Rangers having about as much character depth as the Putty Patrol.

Sorry to rage, but please don't confuse these two properties. You are right though, the producers of Power Rangers clearly understood how to make a good movie. Due to what properties like Transformers did to their original fanbase with their movie(s), I've had extremely low expectations that anyone would do Power Rangers justice. Seeing this trailer has actually given me a glimmer of hope.

That said, I've never been a fan of civilian powers. So breaking the sink, ignoring the bully's headbutt and jumping a la the Matrix just don't do much for me. If I wanted to see that movie, I'd watch Spider Man (2002).

^This I like. I disagree on the civilians powers, though in the sense that I don't mind them for Later seasons. MM doesn't need them, and it's weird for them to have it. Though to each their own.

Mainly I agree with you on the Transformers comparison. Though I'd argue it be like focusing on the Zords instead of the teens, in a weird reversal if you will. The only way the comparison will work is if this movie is seen as okay, second is gutter trash, and third is better than the previous but disputed as to whether or not it's good.

And yeah, people have been hating on the Transformers movies since ROTF. I still hate the too black-stereotype-bots and the thought that those were okay.
