This movie got better that more that I could get beyond myself.
I grew up in the 1980's and 1990's, so I saw the Might Morphin' Power Rangers in its original run. While I thought it was dumb at first that the wonderful campy nature that the show had grew on me and something strange happened...I began to like it.
Looking at some of my favorite movies and shows now it seems pretty obvious.
Then comes along this darker more serious and grittier toned reboot. My first impression was critical, though not judgemental, I'd give it a chance and I did...at the end I missed the campiness and was not a fan of this new reboot. The end.
Or was it?
So, something about me. I allow movies to grow on me and never truly rate them until at least the second or third viewing. Having just rewatched the reboot I was able to watch it under its own merit, not the merit of the original campy television show and...and?
And I liked it. It lacks a certain campiness, and that's okay because it is its own vision of itself, not a reinvisioned replica of the source material. It really is too bad that this film didn't get received well, because I want to see the sequel and who they choose to be the alternative to my all time favorite ranger, Tommy "Green Ranger" Oliver formerly played by the late great Jason David Frank (RIP).
I think that if you've seen this film and didn't like it, give it another try without preconceived notions of what Power Rangers was before.
