It's hate by association so had it not been titled Power Rangers they would call it "What Pacific Rim should have been." Or, "Breakfast Club with a toku spin." But nope, because it's Power Rangers, automatic hate. They said it's too much like the show, then't it's not enough like the show. They hated the build up because they didn't like that the film actually had character development.

And then they proceeded to spoil the film without any spoiler warnings. They have no respect for the franchise or the fans looking forward to this film and just assume this will be seen as a garbage film despite more positive reviews than BvS, Transformers, or Fantastic Four.

Obviously this film seems to be a mixed bag. But the consensus is that it is a fun film over all and that's all I care about. And that's why I agree with GreenPsychoRanger and Annuga. It's really better to go see the film and judge for yourself than take the critics at face value. Clearly the reviews are all over the place, ranging from complete trash to a godsend for the Superhero genre.

It's good not to be in an echo chamber and that's why it's good to look at positive and negative reviews, but the best negative reviews are those who are honest. Some actually are simply put it: a movie for the fans. While other critics clearly don't know what they're talking about. Having taken classes in college on movie reviews I can tell what reviews are constructive and insightful, and others that are mean spirited and hateful for the sake of being hateful.

Go see the film and have fun, good or bad it appears to be a fun film either way. I myself cannot wait to go see it.

Screen Junkies are so full of themselves ever since they did that not funny at all roasts.
