I never got to see this at the cinema back when it came out but I wish I had because at that point I was a pretty big fan of the show, and when I did see it I thought it was the coolest movie ever and it was a total masterpiece to my young adoring eyes, I watched it several times a day for about a month when I got the VHS tape for my birthday and drove everyone crazy! Time makes fools of us all though and over time I liked it less and less..but now I've come around and love it again, but in a much different way. I find it to be the very definition of camp, guilty pleasure, and so-bad-it's-good all in one package, and I see now that it's definitely not what you would call a "good" movie in any conventional sense even if it was made for kids. It's very poorly written and badly acted, and is a terrible and stupid movie, I know, but I don't care and I like it anyway! It has a special kind of place in my heart and I could never genuinely hate it. To me all of the faults just fit into the overall fun campy aesthetic of everything. It's a very silly and light movie but it feels like it knows how goofy it is and sort of revels in its own cheesiness at times and it never feels like it's taking itself all that seriously. Everyone's so peppy and upbeat, with the majority of the Rangers' dialogue consisting of rapidly-uttered bad puns and jokes while they're fighting opponents, but I enjoy that about it too, because that was pretty much how the characters acted in the series except that they also felt like more well-rounded real characters. It's cool how it stayed true to the show's core audience that way and didn't differentiate too much from its source material. But there are times when this picture fails to know the limits of its own strength and it falls flat on its butt when it's trying to go for an epic feel, case and point: Planet Phaedos. Everything on it feels cheap and artificial, with obviously fake mountains, backdrops, and just a noticeably fake atmosphere all around in a set that even the original Star Trek series would have passed on. The Rangers' first theatrical outing does up the ante, but barely. And get a load of what they did with the villain! Okay so I suppose that you could hardly expect a bad guy to be seriously dark and complex for a Power. Rangers movie, but surely they could have thought of something just a little more threatening than Ivan Ooze. He's a casually wisecracking and vaguely sinister old quirky wizard peddler man who's 'evil', and who's made out of ooze! Ivan looks more silly than scary and his big evil scheme to take over the world is ridiculous as well, for his grand plan is to give away magical ooze to kids and convince them to throw it at their parents, which will change them into mindless zombies that he commands to excavate the two powerful giant insectoid robots that are basically his evil versions of Zords. He's so lame but I love Ivan, unlike our beloved Rangers as far as this movie goes, he at least had a personality! Paul Freeman brought a joyfully wicked delight and energy and he clearly knew what target audience the movie he was playing a villain in was meant to target and he made his crazy role fun and memorable and he stole the show. His design reminds me a little bit if Freddy Krueger and he plays it like one of the villains from the 60s Batman TV show, and is really not menacing at all because it's impossible to take him seriously even when he's wrecking Zordon's lair, but he's so entertaining to watch that to me he makes the flick worth watching singlehandedly. He doesn't have all that much to do in the story after dispatching Zordon except for hanging out with Goldar and the pathetic pig character until he becomes enraged after the Rangers manage to destroy one of his Ecto-Morphicons, which monstrous cgi or no, were much cooler looking than the crappy new animal Zords, and he combines himself with the surviving one to become a gigantic Ivan-Morphicon thing right at the end! The rather awesome Lord Zedd and space harpy witch Rita are made to look like even bigger buffoons than usual and are zapped and miniaturised into a snow globe by Ivan where they sit out the rest of the movie, instead of having their power made use of by, oh I don't know, being sent after the powerless Power Rangers to deal with them instead of the useless tengu warriors! And in the end, Ivan proves to be no more competent than they were.. In the final big climactic battle in outer space the Rangers don't use any special mystical Ninjetti skills that they learned on their 'epic' quest, no they just fight dirty and beat him with the old emergency space knee in the balls manoeuvre that sends him hurtling into the path of an incoming comet where he promptly goes kablooey! So while I may laugh at its foibles, I still love this movie, it's a lot of silly fun and it makes me feel nice and nostalgic. Thank you indeed for all the fun Power Rangers, it was quite a ride. X

I've only seen this movie once. It was back in 1995, in the movie theaters. Man, that was 20-years ago. I have seen a couple of scenes from the movie since then, but I haven't seen the movie the whole way through. Though, I can still remember some of it from back then. It obviously wasn't a movie I cared to see again, because often times I think of the movies you really like are movies you'd want to see again. Some kids watch the same movie everyday Interestingly, as an adult another movie I left a review on which I remember renting 2-years ago and enjoying enough to watch it 3 nights in a row after renting it and immediately bought a copy and regularly go through scenes is a movie called Junior High Spy.Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is a childhood memory of mine. I went from being obsessed with Power Rangers to no longer caring about them. I stopped watching the show after the second season which was mostly when the show seemed to lose it's popularity. I mean I remember seeing so many kids dressed up in school as Power Rangers during the Halloween of 1994. But, the year after I only remember one kid dressed in a Power Rangers costume. I wasn't aware what was going on with the show during the 3rd Season. I think it's interesting how I went from being obsessed with that show to no longer really caring about them.I feel like the show went downhill during the second half of Season 2, around the time 3 rangers left. I think most of us preferred the original 3 over their replacements. I also started to realize as a kid that the show became predictable and even though Lord Zedd was supposed to be superior over Rita, more of his monsters were taken down more easily than Rita's. The show just stopped appealing to me as a kid, and I imagined coming up with my own plots.Many years later, I'd watch Zyuranger and buy the episodes on DVD. Man, I didn't know Power Rangers was from a Japanese TV show at the time. Watching Zyuranger I can't believe that I'm watching something older than the Power Rangers and what inspired it. I like a lot of you think Zyuranger is a better T.V. show and better done than Power Rangers. It wasn't common knowledge back then like it is now, that Power Rangers used it's footage from a Japanese T.V. show. Since Power Rangers was so popular back then, I wish Fox Kids would have taken time to show us more where the show came from, possibly even showing subtitled episodes of Zyuranger back then on Fox. Imagine how American kids from back then would have reacted if they could have seen episodes of Zyuranger and compare it to Power Rangers?I've mostly talked about my thoughts on the Power Rangers. But, let me explain the movie. Well, years later when I watch episodes of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers I notice how this show wasn't entirely well done or well thought out. There seem to be plot holes and continuity errors. It was a little the same with this movie. I mean I noticed as a kid how this movie drifted from the series. We have the same characters play the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but there are numerous things different from this movie than in the series. It doesn't feel like it's canon. This movie also took place in Australia. I'm not sure why they had to go all the way there. Interestingly, some of the episodes that were made around the time this movie was made were also filmed in Australia.Here's what I remember about this movie. I'm sure we all remember the opening scene which was skydiving. I wonder if that was actually the actors who were skydiving, though probably not because they'd have to be like professional skydivers to skydive as well as they did in the movie. It also would have been hard to film it, as cameramen shoot from different angles? They could have had professionals skydivers, or they could have just used a green screen to make it look like the characters were skydiving.I remember enjoying this movie. If you watched Power Rangers back then, you'd probably think the movie was enjoyable. I liked Ivan Ooze as a villain. However, I also remember around the same time I saw this movie when I saw the Power Rangers on stage. That show seemed more canon to the series than this movie and was a fun experience back then. You can see it on YouTube now, and it seems like a lot of people preferred that over the movie.They're working on a movie that is expected to come out sometime in 2017. I'm sure we've all noticed how a lot of TV shows that we remember when we were kids that even had previous movies made for them, are having new movies made based on the original versions with 21st Century action and special effects. They've done that with Transformers and they're working on a second Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie when a lot of us prefer the original 1990s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.I'm waiting for the next movie. I feel like almost any film can be good if they have the right director who can come up with an entertaining movie. I bet the next Power Rangers movie will be better, or at least make a lot more money than the previous Power Rangers movies including this one which had a theatrical release.Well, that's it and I give this movie a 5/10. It entertained me, but it could have been better.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie is one of my 25 year-old sister's movies that she used to watch, so I thought I would review it. Before the film was released, there was a television series, followed by another series of TV shows after this film and in 1995, Saban Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox decided to team up and bring us the first POWER RANGERS movie, MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE MOVIE, an Americanized motion picture based on the Sental series.While many says this film is a bomb, I think some people has also enjoyed this film and accepted it for what it is. I have heard that there is a reboot being made and released by Lionsgate for a 2016 release and I really want to see how it's going to do.The six main actors playing our Power Rangers may not be great, but they could have been a heck of a lot worse, because they're playing heroes with superpowers, what is not to like about this film? The suits for the Power Rangers are made out of armor and I hope they are like that for the reboot of the film series.I love the plot of the movie, too, and for them to go against Ivan Ooze was really cool and the ending climax of this movie was just fantastic and I watch the new POWER RANGERS show that is being shown on Nickelodeon and the new show is very amazing and fantastic.The music and visuals are really great for a movie like this, as well as they were in 1995 and the production design was really amazing in this film.Overall, I love MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE MOVIE and it is just simply a classic film. 8.9/10.

How is this absolute cliché 90's movie rated so low clearly anyone who loved the original series should re-watch this movie. sure its cheesy and predictable but its a bloody kids movie of course it is when you grow up. the weird thing is when i re-watched this, when i was 20 years old just to see if as a kid i had good taste and to relive what i loved as a kid and it me least 10 beers of courage to watch it.but after that i watch it and was really cut up about how low this was rated.the sight of seeing that this is rated so low made me write this. sure it fills every 90's cliché in the book but that's what it is. this is the 90's movie, when i become a father that i will tell my kids to watch. i was a fantastic movie for any 90's kid that was a fan of the TV show. when you grow up a little you see the smaller things you respect the villains and remember how they use to haunt you. great movie for what they had to work with and a movie you respect with age if you were born in the 90's.
