There is literally zero joy in watching CGI figures use martial arts. The whole beauty of martial arts is that real people are performing seemingly impossible physical movements. That is all stripped away when the figures are made out of liquid pixels.

I was really hoping this movie would make me like Power Rangers for the first time since I was in elementary school, but it's looking increasingly like that won't happen.

Yeah, I think that's the vibe that's really turning me off of the movie. It seems they're taking out all the charm that makes people like the franchise to begin with, and trying way to hard to inject some watered down Hollywood formula to reach an audience that will never watch the movie.

They look awful, but mostly because of the helmets. They're really, really weirdly proportioned and look too similar aside from the red ranger's. I think the mouth areas are far too big.

It's just overdone for the sake of being overdone. However, really glad the colours are so vibrant when I was expecting super drab, washed-out colours. And I really like the little lightning storm inside the chest diamond that looks like it's deep inside their torso's. Really makes it look like they're more than people in normal suits, and alludes not only to the lightning bolt logo, but an actual power source.

Basically I like the intent, but not the execution.

The reason they look so fake is likely because they probably didn't put a whole lot of effort into blending the CGI elements like the little lightning storm in the chest for a simple suit group shot. I'm gonna assume the fakeness is lessened in the film itself.

I like them, it's been an uphill battle with the designs in the movie but I am enjoying everything after I get past stupid things in my head. Though these are the first designs that I have enjoyed from the moment I saw them. Definitely feel a bit more Kamen Rider-ish mixed with exactly what you'd expect from Hollywood with Power Rangers.

[Klonoahedgehog]

For the most part i think they look cool, however the helmets look really off.

[Heli88]

Eh, they look fine.

I don't think they're any weirder than the first movie suits seemed back when the first movie came out.

As someone early on pointed out, at least they're colorful. I'm sure somebody behind the scenes was pushing for all-black with different colored stripes.

First thoughts were that these looked bad. Now, they don't look as bad, but I'd like to see them in action before finalising the decision.

Guyver + Iron Man + MMPR Movie Suits = Nope.

The helmets are awful. The proportions are way off, they look weirdly elongated or something. Rita was slowly settling into my consciousness as OK, thanks to the on-set pics, but this is about a million steps in the other direction.

[Sentai]

Yes. All of my yes, this movie can have all of my yes. I had the feeling they'd be armored suits like the original movie, but with more modern flair, and so glad my feeling was right. And if you look closely at Red's chest, you can almost make-out a hologram image inside the diamond. More than likely a T-Rex. Which I hope means they all have the same of their respective animal inside their chests. Oh! Maybe that's how they call the Zords!

I LOVE MOVIE SPECULATION o_o

I am in love with these suits as much as I'm in love with Rita's reveal. Bring This On Right Now!

i think these suits look great. i wish some of the helmets harkened back more to MMPR.. but the red ranger's helmet looks fantastic. i can't wait for figures of these suits.

well.. it makes sense for spider-man considering he's got superhuman powers and needs to be ultra flexible.

these look far more practical than the traditional spandex. that's why this makes sense. plus, it's not like these suits are bulky like the armored batman, even the iron man armors look a bit more bulky than these. i think it's a great compromise between something that looks practical, yet still has that power ranger flair.

so yeah, my only complaint is that other than the pink and red rangers the others' helmets don't look MMPR enough for me. but hey, red ranger is my favorite, and it looks like he's got the best helmet, so, i can deal with it.

now we just need to see the zords.

[IXRollOutIX]

Eh. The suits themselves are fine I think, but the helmets look a bit off to me. Plus, I feel those glowy Arc Reactor things are completely pointless; they'd look better without them.
