because i was a general power rangers fanboy at the time(mostly into sentai now but i digress) i watched operation overdrive with an open mind after watching boukenger...... they took the first sentai i had ever seen, slaughtered it, and set it on fire.
The acting was terrible, the villains were boring, and once a ranger was meh. The Rangers were bored half the time it seems to me. The battlizer was awesome, that is the only redeeming quality. I SAW THE PLOT TWIST FROM A MILE AWAY........ so yeah, it was really terrible in my eyes, but then again im a major sentai fanboy

With all the explosions in the series, I swear that the series must've been secretly directed by Michael Bay or something.

I only ever watched it for 'Once A Ranger.'
Those episodes could've been better, but it was pretty fun. As for the rest of the series, I guess (What with it being on Netflix) I could give it a look see. |

Interesting ideas ruined by a terrible cast and overall very weak storytelling.
But what I hated about it the most were the American toys. They ruined one of the best Ultrazords in decades. |

Just finished the series - it was awful, but still better than Ninja Storm I guess (not that that's a hard target to beat). They managed to take everything that sucked in Boukenger and make it worse. The characters were mostly awful, and the villains were a complete joke. "Fearcats" sounds more like a cheerleading squad than a gang of dangerous aliens.
There were only 2 things I quite liked about OO; 1) "Once A Ranger" - pity the show couldn't have just been about them 2) Mack's backstory - I honestly didn't see that coming. Pity all it served to do was make the character a complete dick until the very end and create a horrifically obvious ending.

I thought about and came with a few real problems I had with OO.
Like ZeoV said the ending was painfully obvious and Mack's all IMMA ROBOT! Was just.. idiotic. There wasn't really a central villian. Just a clusterfreak of about 90 of them. It's hard to root for the rangers when you don't know wtf their fighting, you know? And it seemed like every episode they were introducing someone else. The Battlizer. ... Now look I love this gimmick. I really do, and I know it's not always popular, but seriously.. His chest freaking talked... It was just.. I don't have the words to describe how awesomely bad that was. |

Oh I forgot all about the Sentinel Knight. When the series started I thought "Wow, they're making pretty good use out of the character - better than Boukenger did with Zuban anyway." Then he got a body, and went on to carve a pumpkin and be a chest face.
And people say Ninjor was bad.

I'll toss in two cents. WORST theme song ever.
Uninteresting characters, and villians. but at least we got "Once a Ranger" out of the deal. But really It's source materiel was equally Forgettable. And for people trahsing on Turbo, yeah it was bad, but it gave us Selwyn Ward, Patricia Ja Lee and Tracy Lynn Cruz. and it ended, which is to say the ending itself was epic....they didn't just burn the sets to the ground, they pissed on the ashes.
