I have to ask how? Because from I've seen from these trailers the old movies for their faults at least took the concept seriously and maturely and are far more pleasing to look at visually.

Also, once again I must bring up context. Even for their time, the previous two PR movies were low budget and not especially the cream of crop of Hollywood by design. They were, especially Turbo, glorified TV show episodes meant to appeal to the existing PR children fans. This is a big budget reboot meant to appeal to a broad audience. It should not be merely barely surpassing the twenty year old originals.

Then you don't understand what the criticisms are, the Zords fighting individually amd Rita being a threat were praised iirc. But the first trailer for example showed it being overly edgy, Alpha 5 looks nothing like the original, the Megazord has been blasted left or right as it's not just a new design, but it doesn't even look like a Megazord but a general mech, etc. These aren't my opinions but they're things I remember seeing get a lot of criticism

Take or leave it. Like or hate. *drops mic and walks away*

I can certainly see your viewpoint but I'd have to disagree, in my case, I don't usually get to go to the cinema often, so if I'm paying my own ticket, I want to at least know what people in general think. There's a reason Rotten Tomatos has a 'Audience score' segment too after all

This movie is a reboot. Reboots have big changes to the characters and designs. Look at the Batman reboot for example: the suits, characters and batmobile was a huge change from its source material. Later trailers have shown it to be fun yet edgy but I like the combination of it, to see the Ranger's problems and flaws instead of everything being fine.

That...Doesn't mean the complaints aren't justified, not to mention A: The Megazord complaint is because EVERY OTHER MEGAZORD looks like the Zords combined and B: WHICH Batman reboot

To expect reboots to be exactly like the original is ridiculous b.c of what I already mentioned. You can see the zords on where they combine. Christopher Nolan batman reboot.

That's not what I meant. Megazords traditionally look like a mishmash, whereas this one doesn't, I remember LOTS of hate for it. And should that really count? There was only 1 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, yet COUNTLESS different Batman stories and continuities
