Wow haha, only Chapelle would have a chance of salvaging a movie with THAT cast.

Why not? A big budget version of Power Rangers would do fairly well over there ,I'd think if it gets people curious enough.

I think the first MMPR movie went direct to video over there. The Japanese dubs of Power Rangers tend to go direct to video or only air on a premium channel from Toei. People in Japan would be confused by this movie.

...Confused?! I don't see how. I don't see why it won't do well if it's a major studio release either. I mean the Transformers movies did well over there andfrom what I remember and it really isn't THAT big of a franchise over there.

The movie market is different now though. The international market in Hollywood is larger outside US than it was before. Anyhow I'd like to hear more perspectives.

I'm more curious as to what Motif they are going to use, unless it's really going to be a updated MMPR.

Also I kinda feel bad for that MMPR fan made film since, Saban is finally going back to the big theaters now.

Do you think this movie introduced a larger group of people into the franchise the same way that Transformers and Star Trek '09 did?

Honestly I wouldn't really count on it.

I mean for every Transformers there's a GI Joe.

You guys act like Bay will ruin these great characters, but MMPRs team was shit anyway.

Jason was the WHAT?! From what I've seen of Jason in MMPR and Zeo, he is in no way a bully. He's probably more of the guy all the girls want to..... "date".

I'll just leave it at that.

They need to have one thing in the movie:

They need to incorporate the Go, Go Power Rangers song into the movie in some way.

Pay attention to the show better.

Really, Bulk and Skull will usually do something completely inoffensive and Jason/Tommy/Kimberly/Zack will actually do something cruel to humiliate them in front of everyone and the episode will end with everyone laughing at them. Not really good.

MMPR lives in a pseudo world where the lanky guy and the overweight guy are the bullies while the jocks are the victims, except that the end result is always everyone laughs at the lanky guy and overweight guy anyway.
